The cast consists of 6 dancers, all of whom are relative new comers to SL Dance, but are enthusiastic performers.

Choreographer Kerri Sanchez has been performing and creating her own dance routines in Second Life for about 4 years. This is the first complete show Kerri has written and produced on her own. Her creativity and imagination has contributed to her extraordinary work and in a short time has become one of the best choreographers in Second Life.

Dancer Brooke has been creating her own performances for about 2 years, along with owning and hosting events at the CMNF Lounge.

Anneke Sanchez has been a builder in SL all her life and a dancer for the past 3 years. She's also had experience choreographing her own dances.

Sami Jo Chauveau has danced and hosted events at various outlets all over the grid, most prominently at the House of the Rising Sun Blues Club.

Gloria G  began her performing career as a synchronized swimmer with the touring ensemble "The Water Lillies". She also found a passion for synchronized dancing and frequently does so for recreation. She's now pleased to perform with Cabaret Provocateur.

Chagen Sanchez is a performer with the Lightning Productions Tribute Band, His 3 years of experience in those shows has lead directly to his being dragged into dance with his wives' dance group.

Lonigale Sweetbutter is the newest member of the dancing group and loves performing with everyone and is a natural.  A great addition to the troupe.

Our MC and DJ will be for the evening will be Alobar Valeska, owner of the House of the Rising Sun Blues Club and theater. Known to his friends as "Alo" he has been spinning the blues and classic rock on Second Life since Muddy Waters was in knee pants. Sadly, his precious music library was destroyed a year ago in a tragic 8-track malfunction. Now, through persistence and the generosity of friends, he's upgraded to cassettes and is back delighting his legion (all 10 of them) of adoring fans and blues-rock aficionados across the grid. He's owned and regularly DJs at the House of the Rising Sun Blues Club, known for it's laid-back, fun, and drama-free atmosphere for 9 years, off and on. He'll even take the occasional side-gig, especially when it involves a bevy of scantily-clad women and/or free cheese dip.

*NEW* Prop Me Up Challenge

Good day Kings and Queens! A new challenge is upon us! Prop Me Up is the new Dance Queens challenge.  For this challenge, you will be TP'd to a location, where you will be taken to a pile of boxes.  You will buy one of the boxes.  Inside that box will be a prop.  You must use that prop to inspire a dance, and use it in the dance as part of your set.  All props are different.

No one can know what the props are before buying their prop, they are all sold randomly.  The challenge is working with the prop you get.  The cost of buying the props will be zero lindens, as they have been funded by Web.  Participation in this challenge is limited to twelve people.  Due to this limitation, PLEASE do not sign up for this unless you are very sure you will be able to complete and perform your act.

If you think there is a chance you will have to pull out, please leave this challenge to someone who will be able to fulfill their commitment, as it is being limited, if too many people pull out, we will not have enough for a show.

Thank you, and let's make this as much fun as the previous challenges! Ready, Set, Go!

Gadget Ninja Spotlight ~ Camera Position HUDs...for more than peeking in your neighbor's window...

Confessions of a gadget addict...Yes, I love tools.  My heart races as I scour marketplace for gadgets that can be used for creations and performances.  Efficient!  New!  Different!

<breaks out singing Daft Punk with some twerkin' going on>

Work it harder, make it better!  Do it faster, makes us stronger!

Whew...forgot how tiring twerking can be...  In this series, we crack open the toolbox and explore tools available and how they can be useful - whether you are a creator, dancer, choreographer, or supporter of dance in SL.  HUDs and gadgets can help us organize, do things more efficiently, take some of the sting out of things we don't enjoy so much, or even inspire new ideas or abilities.  Having multiple tools provides options and the ability to use whatever works for a particular situation.  

The information I share is given freely, my own thoughts and experiences.  As I often say, question everything!  Use what works for you.  Maybe it would be useful to you, maybe not.  One of the amazing things in SL is the ability to do things your own way.  This could never be an all inclusive list, new gadgets are always being released and updated.  Feedback is always welcome!

No side deals, endorsements, or stock is owned for any of these products...though that would've supported my expensive animation habit...oh, well.  Ready to jump down the rabbit hole?

Camera Position/View HUDs

Ever feel like you need eight sets of eyeballs - keeping your eye on back stage, camming in on the tip jar, oh no did my set rez?  are all the dancers moving?  is everyone on their pad? and my favorite - what is the sexy DJ wearing today?  Sure, there are avatars with 16 eyes, but not quite the same is it?

Camera Position/View HUDs can make this happen (without making you wear extra eyeballs).  They let you record one or more positions that you are looking at, then with a click of a button move your view back to that spot!  No more blindly camming around, afraid you might crash, or just not able to find that darn tip jar.  It's all at your finger tips and very simple to use.  An added bonus - by changing your view, you can jump straight from your backstage pad to your mover - no walking required!  Not only is this easier for you, it also reduces lag on the sim.  Bonus!!

There are many different types of these HUDs on the marketplace, some have added features, some allow you to import camera positions so that you can share them with your dancers.  For this blog, I'll be focusing on the one I personally use as an example but highly recommend you also check others out and determine which one would work best for you!  Always consider price/usefulness/and script count.  Just like applebottom jeans...scripts should be low, low, low, low, low, low!

This is the HUD I will be demonstrating today:  

Camera View/Save Setup HUD

A basic HUD, simple to use, free, 1 script, can store up to 8 camera positions.  It is Copy, so you can have one for every venue.  In my inventory, I have a folder for each venue and a copy of the camera hud in that.  Boom, I attach the camera hud for that venue and I have my view positions ready to go!

So, the first thing you need to determine, is what camera positions you want to save.  Because this HUD uses numbers for the camera positions, I like to be consistent.  A few ideas for positions to save:

• STAY PAD:  Good place to jump to as soon as you arrive.
• ON STAGE BEHIND THE CURTAIN:  I click this view when I cache my set and want to make sure it rezzed, and also to make sure my dancers are moving before I open the curtain.
• MOVERS/DANCE PADS:  It's just a jump to the left...or a step to the right...no walking or camming!
• TIP JAR:  I am notorious for forgetting to log in or out of the dancer tip jars.  This helps!
• FRONT STAGE VIEW:  Watching the performance when the curtain is open.

Setup & Using - the quick and dirty

I love teaching soup to nuts, A to Z, and my newest fave ~ ab ovo usque ad mala, exactly how and why something works plus all the pieces in between.  This really is a simple HUD to use, so we can skip straight to the quick & dirty - sounds like fun doesn't it?

• Add your HUD  (that's always very helpful!)
• Cam around until the view you want to save is in focus (like your mover pad)
• To save the position:  press one of the green numbers on the bottom row of the hud
• You can save up to 8 positions, so rinse and repeat however many times you need (or umm..8)
• Press one of the top numbers to change your camera view to one of the saved positions.
• If you've cammed around, just press your Escape key to reset your camera.
• Press the yellow number on the top row if you want to 'release' your camera view from the active saved position.

Getting chill understage before the show!

Caching time!  Yep - it's there!

Umm...backstage...ready to go on...where are my dancers????

It's showtime!

That's it!

Have any great gadgets that have made your SL soooo much easier or that you couldn't live without?  I'd love to hear about it!
