Hope it goes well, being a dancer wouldn't be close to half as much fun without the other dancers I've gotten to know.




Thank You. I agree with your statement ,I almost had too much fun the other night.

I've came to an understanding that,If any dancer who does not sport his or her "Master Dancer" tag,they will find themselves in situations of being ignored and worthless to the people and consumers. I love the Dancer profession and I intend to stay a Dancer,but why must aspiring dancers have to experience a rough and unpleasant journey towards their goal of being a Master Dancer? I'm sorry if readers find this post a waste of time.I just wanted to share some of my experiences as an aspiring dancer. /vents Ritzi of Wanderhome.



Talk in group and see if you can find other players interested in forming a band.


Get matching cloths and play near one another in the cantina. Don't just find any spot when your band starts to setup. The dancers for the Kreetles have several patterns that we form depending on the number of dancers that can show. The band is in a line behind us. The lead dancer is the one furthest out front and they control the band flos for the dancers. Likewise, the lead musician (center) usually controls the band flos for musicians


Practice choreographing dance flos with musician flos with your band. It's fun and you gain XP while doing it.


Musicians, practice changing songs on a countdown in group chat. This is needed for the dancers to change the tempo of their dance to match the song.


Dancers, change you dance to match the tempo of the song. Use "/changedance" to select a new dance when you see a musician announce a change in the song and tempo but don't hit the okay button. Wait for the musician's countdown to end and then hit okay. If lag is not to bad and everyone is paying attention, all the dancers will appear to change their dance at the same time. Dancers in the Kreetles have a default slow and fast tempo dance they perform so the lead dancer is not required to announce what dance to change to if the songs tempo changes.


Lag usually causes the player performing the band flos to start sooner than the other band members. Use this. The lead dancer or musician can start a normal flo and then immediately follow by a band flow. It has a very cool effect if the dancers form a pattern when setting up.


Every dancer does not have to do the same dance. One of the coolest things as a dancer happened to me in a starport. Weyune and I were dancing in the starport (for the entertainer quest I think) and 3 other dancers formed a circle around us and started dancing doing footloose facing us. I invited them into our group and Weyune and I started doing exotic 4 and I started band flos. Depending the flo I did, the circle they formed would rotate right or left and contract and expand with Weyune and I forming the hub.
