Our Founder - Nottoo Wise

Nottoo Wise

This is Nottoo Wise, Founder of Dance Queens, if you didn't know. Recently I asked a Dance Queens member who knows Nottoo if she could write up a bio for the info center. I got way more than I asked for in return but I was glad, and feeling like her writings should be shared so we could pay a small tribute. The member who wrote this was Winnie, thank you Winnie for sharing!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I first started to dance in SL, I was lucky enough to meet one very special person in the world of dance; Nottoo Wise.  First impression....best.name.ever!  She was also tall, very tall....and stately.  Dancing.....there was never a time that I saw Nottoo that she wasn't dancing.  She owned a club...dancing...she did shows....dancing...she did classes...dancing...she showed up to watch other shows at other venues...still dancing in her head.

Nottoo was the original creator of Dance Queens, and it was a labor of love the size and scope of which I could not imagine taking on.  She did all of the original spreadsheets with stores, animations, landmarks...she even timed animations before they were done by creators.

She had this great sim where her club was and where she did classes.  She had boxes of helpful things she handed out....dances that were transfer, grids for setting up dance routines, pose balls to do group dances...you have to remember...she did all of this before mo-cap animation and before movers *Gasps*  Yes friends, we were all subject to falling off a stage at any time back in ye olde days of dance.

Nottoo also did these amazing tutorials where she showed folks how to make an alpha layer so we could be invisible and how to edit linked parts so pasties covered up your bits.  Yep....no mesh back then either...we all had square elbows and knees and shoulders.  We were....rough around the edges.  Heck when I started we all used the HUDDLEZ...like...the only damn HUD that there was!

Nottoo taught me how to dance, but she also taught me to love to dance in SL.  It's not easy...it's not even that easy now.  Back then, it was really solely about the dance and costume.  She didn't teach us how to build big, stunning sets and we couldn't move, so stages were small and you had to do one hell of a dance or striptease with emotes (the cut and paste kind) to keep everyone's attention.

Dance has changed so much with better animations, bodies, movers, sets, choreography, etc.  I still sit and watch each act when I can and ooooh and aaaaah over what the human imagination can come up with.  Nottoo was the person who planted that kernel in my brain that grew into the weed that is my love of dance in SL today, and she did that for so many wonderful dancers. 

Cheers Nottoo for creating DQ for us and giving us the launch pad for where we are today!

Don't Make Me Call The Dance Police, Take 13

Every week or so, I look back through the photos of Second Life dance performance that I’ve posted on Flickr.

So... many... photos...
Too... many... photos...
Six shows today. I shot SIX shows today.
(whimper)

Sometimes, I smile.
Sometimes, I wince.
And then there’s the times... well... you know...

I like to call this portion of our trip: Don’t Make Me Call The Dance Police.


The second Little Dance Group built their house out of wood...


New Premium Benefit: Height sliders that go to 500.


Santa's on his own Naughty List.


Well, ain't that a kick in the head?

The only five Russians not to talk to General Flynn after the election.


You know, a can of D-Con would work just as effectively.


Windup bunnies! Yay!


Misse's telekenetic powers grow as she hurls audience members with facelights out of the theater...


I like to go in disguise sometimes.


I never understood Little Drummer Boy. It's like, there's a newborn baby, right? And there's some kid out there banging on a drum? It's hard enough to get a baby to sleep, but with all that racket? I mean, play a nice flute, or strum a lyre... but banging on a drum? That's just mean. Imagine, banging on that drum, keeping the Baby Jesus awake, and then when you die and go to Heaven, Jesus is like "Ahem, Pete, let me take this one... so, while I was trying to sleep, you were banging on a drum, huh? Well, well, well..."

By the way...


Doesn't that look like a pack of dinosaurs or godzillas bursting from the ground to attack the manger?


This is how they make Mike's Hard Cider... lovingly picked by bunnies.

Time Out... need a quick drink.


Does this count as Formal Attire?


Circe du Soleil's "Stephen King's It"


Some people will do anything to get a cat out of their chair.


I.... WANNA SWING... FROM THE CHANDELIER!


... Sexy Scrooge!


psst. web. (piano)


Bake your own chesspieces!


In the Victorian Era, cryogenics was not so advanced...


... nah, Diawa will kill me.


Where do all your tips end up?


Who is this guy calling?


RUN! IT'S THE DANCE POLICE!


Deleted Scene from Amadeus: Mozart rents himself out as a music box figurine.


Babypea shares her new breedable WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE!?!?!


A broken SL mirror is 7 years of bad lag.


... what if I don't want to say Geronimo?


If you're buying books that big, you really ought to get the kid's eyes checked.


Santa says you can pull his sleigh any time you want.


Deep in the bowels of Linden Lab, a technician hears the alarm and runs to the Lag Generator to make sure that another performance is ruined by rubberbanding and slow texture loads.


You're still using Windows 7?


Boning on stage? That's just rude!


I SAID THE FANS ARE ON TOO HIGH!


WOW! That's a real nutcracker!

(For the record, there's probably something wrong about someone seeing THREE versions of the Nutcracker in one day... especially when they're Jewish. OY VEH!)


Don't you hate it when you're almost done with a routine and you're still building the set when the director calls for the curtain to be raised?


It's a sad thing when a kid comes across a dead character in Disneyland... don't they have trackers on those things?


OH MY GOD! THEY RIPPED MINI ADAM'S HEAD OFF!


Uh oh... I must have butt-dialed the Dance Police.


Bento Hands Up! Don't Shoot! Bento Hands Up! Don't Shoot!


Tell my boss I'll be late to work tomorrow, okay?

Thank you, and stay tuned next Sunday for the next thrilling episode.
