Spot-On meets Barre!

Spot-On meets Barre!

*Did you know you can merge technology of the Barre Hud with your Spot On Choreography Mover?

Say you are doing a group performance with two groups: Group 1 (3 girls) & Group 2 (2 guys).

Here are the steps to add the Barre Inviter script to your Spot-On Mover pads.

I. Rez a Group Barre Inviter poseball & remove the script
 
-Rez a Group Barre Inviter poseball from your Barre hud or from the Barre Pose Ball Pak for 3.03G included with the hud package contents folder

<===In the picture I rezzed a Group 1 - Barre PoseBall V3.03

Note: it does not matter what group number poseball you choose to rez.

 
- Right click & open the ball then drag the script (Barre_Invite 1.1 30.01g) from the ball to your inventory Scripts folder

- You can delete the ball or take it back into your inventory (the ball is copy modify)

II. Rez your Spot On Mover pads & transfer the Barre Inviter script
 
- Rez your Spot On Choreography Mover circles (default - purple color) containing your "pre-designed" Movement Card.

  - Right click and open the mover pad. 

- Transfer the script (Barre_Invite 1.1 30.01g) from your inventory into each Spot On Mover pad
 
-Go to the General tab in the edit menu and write the Group # ONLY (ex/ 1 or 2) in the description area (you should only see the group # when finished)

 

Tip: I recolor my pads for the different groups to make it easy to distinguish who sits where. As shown in the picture...girls are in Group#1 so they are colored pink; guys are in Group #2 so they are colored blue.

III. Ask your posers/dancers to sit & accept invite
 
- The Spot On Mover pads will now invite the dancer to their assigned groups when they sit

- Start the groups sequence on your Barre Hud & hit the Play button on your Spot On Hud (or if you have already added the chat commands to your groups sequence nc, you can just hit start on your Barre Hud. Full details on how to do that are located here: http://www.spotonsl.com/instructions.html, at the very bottom under Optional and Advanced Features - Using your System with a Dance Hud)

DANCE move DANCE...and have fun! woot \o/

Happy Spring/Autumn everyone!  Hope you are enjoying this milder time of year! Do you feel like dancing?  (of course you do!)

To new dance sequences...and beyond! *Cheers*

Hi DQ members! *taps the mic nervously...yikes, feed-back* lol >.<

I am the new sequence manager...and I hope to NOT let you all down. :)

I have some ideas for collecting new dance sequences (mainly from the group at large), very open to everyone's participation and/or feedback about them.

I. New Quarterly SL DQ Dance Event - "So you Think you Can Choreo?"...
- This event will be similar to the previous "DANCE QUEENS Choreography Shows". It is a more formal process for acquiring stellar dance sequences...allowing for participation from the entire SL dance community.
 - The event will be solely centered on dance technique, inspiration, & creativity.  (no sets or emoting...costumes are optional) It will be judged by a group of experienced dance peers & leaders.
- "Optimistically" anticipating a large group of members wanting to participate...so we will have to isolate only a select few for actual posting on the DQ blog, based on a fair judging system. There will not be a single winner, but several winners (actual # TBD - based on available prizes, judges, etc). Everyone and anyone will have a fair chance at winning. The winners must agree to have their sequences posted on the DQ blog (along with pictures or video) to share with the SL dance community.
 - I plan to reach out to heads of various dance troupes registered with DQ very soon to gather a list of potential "recommended" rotating judges for this talent event. They will be chosen based on experience and availability for judging events.
 - I have already reached out to most of the major SL dance animation stores for assistance in supporting this event. So far I am getting very positive feedback. (Thank you!)

II. On continuing Nottoo's regular "informal" postings of dance sequences...
- DQ members, as you well know...our Nottoo was a "superwoman"...and Marissa, well...she is more human than super. *LOL* As of today, Nottoo has collected 432 dance sequences in total. (WOW WOW WOW)
- I will need your help to continue this Dance Queens tradition. If you have sequences you wish to share with the group, please send them to me via nc with corresponding pics or video. (Thank you in advance)

III. Whats new & HOT in SL Dance....
- I look forward to getting news on the latest dance animations, tools, and equipment to you asap.
- I would ask the Animation store owners to please be in contact with me if you need your information posted to the DQ blog. I am in majority of your groups, but due to group limitations, capped notifications, etc....I do not wish to intentionally overlook anyone. :)

Salutations,
Mari
 p.s. whew...first post out, takes in a deep breath. :)

OUTER LIMITS

Saturday, March 30, 1PM SLT @ The Fusion Performing Arts Center

Fusion Dance Crew takes you to the outer reaches of the universe where no one has danced before, we think, LOL!

Science fiction is an interesting genre, as we all have seen in movies, TV series, and of course, books. This genre communicates "truths" and "messages" about the human condition in a very entertaining way.  Fusion Dance Crew with its ability and talent of pushing the boundaries of SL dance productions created this show using stories, music, props, costumes, jaw-breaking special effects & sets, and of course, dance animations! 

Come see: Global, Starman, Avatar, Home, Robot Escape, Men In Black, Venus In the Morning, and the grand finale: Twilight Zone.

Here is your LM. Hope to see you there this Saturday.  Arrive early. Take a seat & enjoy the show.

THE SPIRIT LIGHT DANCE COMPANY

The Spirit Light Dance Company are Second Life Dancers from all over the world who are interested in creating and performing meaningful, exciting and often inspirational programs in Second Life. The Spirit Light Dance Company brings to Second Life the melding of masculine and feminine energies, art and technology, movement and music and often dialogue to awaken, tickle and tantalize the human spirit.  

On March 23rd and 24th at 1 pm SL we will be performing The "New" Four Elements, in our new theatre...  "The Theatre of Light." 

The Four Elements in masculine/feminine aspects are represented and interpreted in movement, choreographic design, costume and beautiful sets. Come and be inspired by the transformation that occurs when these energies are brought together in balance.   

MystiqueStarr is looking for dancers.
This is what she wrote;

A New Club is opening very soon, and we are looking for pole dancers, who can emote too.
There is no nudity, as this is a higher class club to work for.
The club will be open 7 days a week, and all time slots are available.
Please contact me for Dancers Application, and please fill it out and submit back to me for an interview. Thank you, and I look forward to meeting with you.
If you have any questions please feel free to IM me.

DANCE QUEENS Restructuring - Update 3

DANCE QUEENS Restructuring - Update 3 (130317)

This is the third update note about progress in the restructuring of the DANCE QUEENS Group. The initial note, update 1, update 2 and the voting results should be read first.

We are nearing the end of the restructuring process and I am pleased that soon we will have the disagreements and drama of the last three months behind us and again we will concentrate on the fun of dancing.

Diddy Hyun, Naiki Muliaina and Zhaza Zerbino (DD, Naiki and ZZ) have been working together and have shared a bit with me of their plans. I know they have been talking with many of you and I hope you are giving them your ideas and support. They certainly have mine. I suspect that we will know more of where they are leading us once the transfer of leadership is finished on March 30.

Progress is also being made on the transfer of responsibilities to the volunteer Managers. You may have noticed that the postings to the blog over the last couple of months have been lower than the months before that. As the Managers assume their responsibilities I think you will see the postings both increase and return to the same level of valuable content that you had seen previously. Of course there will be some glitches, but please give a some leeway to the Managers as they take over the various informational areas of DANCE QUEENS and begin to put their own style and emphasis in place.

I have received quite a few really kind and heartfelt notes from DQ members. It really makes me feel so good about the Group and how so many people have been helped by DANCE QUEENS. As my time of leadership draws to a close, I am feeling some loss like my baby growing up and leaving the nest,  but it is more than balanced by the thoughtfulness of so many people and the friendships I have formed here.

As I look across SL I do not know of any other Group that has successfully been run in the way that we are setting up DANCE QUEENS. Let me rephrase that. I don't know of any group that has been run successfully or not in this way. I know in RL these types of organizations work, so I have great hopes for success here. DANCE QUEENS is all about the fun of dancing in SL. I think we all know that dancing is both broad and deep here and DQ helps make dancing more of a pleasure.

I expect one more post on March 30 on this subject and then 'the fun begins' again.
