Don't Make Me Call The Dance Police, Take 12

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

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.


I want THAT tree!


Klaatu Barada Nikto! means "Merry Christmas!" in Martian


Debauche pulled out all the stops for their holiday show. They hired Luxo Junior from Pixar.


"We're here with the eviction notice, Santa!"


I wonder if they take Visa.

 
The soldier would dance, but he cracked his nuts...


When I step on those things, it hurts like hell.


Don't stomp the star!


"I'm sorry, but the X-ray shows a dancer in your left ventricle."


WHAT IS HOLDING THAT SWING UP?


psssst. Web. (piano)


SNOWFLAKE ATTACK! PEW PEW!


First, they tell me to remove all scripted items. Then, I get chided for no ankle locks. Sheesh!


Why would you buy a Steinway for a teddy bear? They can't reach the keys or the pedals. psst. Web. (piano)


Can you pick up ESPN on that thing?


Ghost furniture?


pssst. Web. (piano)


This is why we had to hire a new warden at the Dance Police Jail.


Where's the frickin' laser beam on its head?


pssst. Web. ... .... .... oh, right. (piano)


Don't think of it as tipping the dancers. Instead, think of it as Roman charges.


Baywatch, Second Life. (Don't hassle the Di.)


Ahem. I'm a dance photographer, not a wedding photographer.


pssst. Web. (sexy piano)


Disney's really cut costs with their direct-to-video, haven't they?


It may be cursed, but it's still organic applesauce.


Oh that's where they put the budget!


Wow. She got mirrors to work in SL? That's magic!


And this is why I have pizza for Thanksgiving.

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

DQ "WordUp" Challenge

Calling all Dance Queens! Do you need new inspiration? Do you like a good challenge? Well we have something just for you! We are going to be hosting a series of dance creation challenges to help inspire you and give you new adventures in dance creation.  We are calling the first challenge "Word Up". We at Dance Queens have compiled a list of 20 intriguing words. Each choreographer will pick a number 1-20 and be randomly assigned a word. You will Google that word and search Google images for one image derived from your search that inspires you to create a dance.

You will build a dance founded in that image.  Perhaps it will inspire a set, a costume, a song... and you will go from there.  You will have a month to create a dance inspired by that image that represents your word, to knock our pixel socks off! You can enter starting right now! IM Sarebear68 to be assigned a number and on December 9th @7:00 pm SLT we will be holding a party at DQ to announce everyone's assigned words and to further explain this creation challenge, as well as answer any questions you may have!

The only rule is NO RULES! Take risks and run wild with your ideas! It is not mandatory that you perform. If you'd like a number to challenge yourself let Sarebear68 know but please also say that you wont be performing. We will have 1 shared tip jar and all tips will be split between choreographers and the DJ. This does not include any back up dancers. When you IM Sarebear68 to enter, you will be sent more info. For example a LM to backstage, a stage template, and a group invite. We will be performing our dance creations on Jan 13th 2018 at 1pm SLT. START YOUR ENGINES!!!!

Debauche welcome Christmas!

Join Debauche in their Home Theater as they launch their season of Christmas shows for 2017.

Loads of amazing new routines for the festive season plus a few moments of joyous nostalgia.

The Journey Academy of Performing Arts 2018 Program

A huge welcome to all newcomers to Dance, and to students still participating with JAPA, all who are growing and learning and PERFORMING! well done to everyone!

JAPA has not been dormant ! But for 2018, I am glad to be able to take a more structured approach again to the learning Programs I can offer.

I teach things that I have learned through my own discovery in this virtual world, bringing some real life skills and experience, and adapting things, breaking them down for simple and effective learning sessions available to anyone wishing to become a performer in Second Life.

Take from these learning sessions what works for you, and build on it. There is not only ONE way!

I, personally, choose not to use the complete package of Spot On tools, purely because what i do use has and does work great for what i do, simple tools that do exactly what they say on the box, easy to set up and operate, and are perfect for newcomers to get them started, and also still used by higher level performers.

Spot On do have fabulous tools, and can open up amazing creative things for a performer, so progress to these if you feel they will help you grow your own style in dance, but my best advice to anyone beginning in Dance, before experimenting with all the available tools, is to get yourself a real good grounding in CHOREOGRAPHY FIRST, and don't try to run before you can walk. Use the best tools appropriate for the kind of dance you want to create. They all have their positives for specific use.

   All is good - find the tools that work best for YOU!

                        

   JAPA only teaches the Smooth Dancer Hud from the Spot On Tools.

     All JAPA sessions are based on simple movers and systems to gain a good Foundation in Dance These can, and do, work from Novice to Excellence level Performers

       

          * For Spot On Tools Learning and Support *

                  Contact me directly for details of good experienced teachers currently active *

                        

              ALL LEARNING SESSIONS ARE 90 MINS DURATION

                Please arrive 15 mins before start time, and have voice activated for registration

               

          All sessions facilitated by Klark Harvy - JAPA Principal / VIRTUOSO Director

       No charge - Donations appreciated but not mandatory

Don't Make Me Call The Dance Police, Take 11

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

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.


OH COME ON! It's not even Thanksgiving yet!


AND HALLOWEEN WAS LAST MONTH!

 
It takes special skill to walk in heels on the sand.


I thought we sprayed for dragons?


Sometimes, perspective gets a little... off.


When Lina wants to shoot hoops, you say "Yes, ma'am."


I told you not to make me call the dance police. Enjoy dance prison! (Hire a better dance lawyer next time.)


Dang. Forgot to turn off wireframe again.


This is not a backdrop. Sasha is actually 10 storeys tall.


Okay, that's a backdrop.


GLITTERBOMB!


At least the carrots are on their faces.


I like DC's reboot of The Penguin. A lot.


Oh, no. You don't get to sneak away until you've done the dishes!


I imagine this every time I swear or say something naughty here.


"Hello, I'm Captain Safety. You'll notice there are no emergency exits in this theatre. That's because you can just log off and you'll be safe. Duh."


Not dancing this week. Too hung over.


It's all fun and games until...


This is what Superman sees every day.


I'd tap that ass... for the maple syrup, mind you.


I SAID EAT MORE COWS!


Literally, hot chicks.


What would you name this new Marvel superhero?


Pardon me. Taking a moment. ... ... ... ... okay, I'm back.


What if Burl Ives did acid?


No wonder why Second Life is so fragile today... or is it fra-gee-lay?


Even Optimus Prime gets dance gigs in between Michael Bay movies.


It's like an R-rated version of Gauntlet.


Batman's busy. This city belongs to Laura now.


Still playing hide and seek?


Oh, come on. No need to worship me. They're just photos.


Uh oh. Check the breaker. There's a short in the system. (Always wear rubber-soled heels)



Why is it they depict the gates of Heaven, but never the Fence or Wall of Heaven?
... amateur!


Cypher was right. Ignorance is bliss... put me back in the Matrix!


This is how I imagine my funeral.


Have I mentioned how much I love my job?


If this is what an invasion from Mars looks like, let me be the first to welcome our Martian overlords.


You're supposed to have a great slate of acts, not a great act of slates!


Yes. Paul shoots music from his fingers.

 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Um... that hedge needs some Miracle Gro... or Viagara.


Nice ass.


OH YOU SAW THIS COMING FROM A MILE AWAY!


Always check for an invisible prim blocking the stage before you leap for a crowd surf.


Never hire a taxi. Uber and Lyft don't have people dancing on their cars.


Um... this isn't from a dance photo... it's from... um... NEXT SLIDE! NEXT SLIDE!


Sigh. Never throw out your dancers. Always recycle them.
(My original joke had to do with Oscar, Sesame Street, and... okay, maybe it never quite came together. Sorry.)


You don't have to tell me twice to follow that Yellow Brick Road.

When you're on the road too long, the mudflaps on trucks start to come to life.

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