The new flourishes are simply to make us grateful for the old ones. Ok we are grateful, can we have the old ones back please?

These new ones were coded by little monkeys or the Jackson weirdo? Because they are the most asinine attempts at a dance thatI have every seen......

yuck yuck yuck

I don't like them at all! I feel like I am jerky and unpolished... the falls now make sense cause I surely look like I haven't clue about how to dance.

I did overhear a male dancer say he LIKED them... but he didn't look as doofy as I did doing them.

I kinda like the formal ones...though they'd be better in a different dance probably.

Poplock....I am undecided. Very...VERY undecided. I saw that..weird...puppet one...the drop, up and wave and nearly DIED!

Then Footloose...um. Again, undecided.

At least they didn't touch Popular....

How could someone like this garbage.

Perhaps a stand-up comedian or clown could use the one or the other flourish. But I have not seen any yet on my sever.

Every person I showed this new flourishes, cause they didn't beleave me, how horrible it looks, where aghast at this sight.

The existing moves for formal are so graceful and beautiful...and the new flourishes do not fit the dance at all - as most have said, the differences between the motion capture and theseare painfully obvious.

I think this is a good case for "If you aren't going to do something right, don't do it at all."

Maybe if the original moves weren't motion captured I wouldn't mind so much (not knowing there was something better)...but since they did that to begin with, I think they should continue to work that way on any new dances and flourishes. What we have now just looks shoddy and rushed.

Jumped on the boards this morning and was not surprised to find that the new flourished are universally hated. I agree that if they were going to add this gobble-de-**edit** they would have beenbetter off leaving it alone. I'm just simply not going to use them. Any of them. I get enough of looking ridiculous and ungainly in real life And I'm not quite sure how t he entertainer missions work yet -- either mine were bugged or I'm stupid.

Here's hoping they leave well enough alone from here out...

Ugly Ugly Ugly... I saw them on test and was horrified, tried them out last night and their just as bad... well guess that answers why I couldn't get a straight answer on if they where really the final version or not.

Going to start a new thread about this, please post thoughts there.

The new dance flourishes = The SUCK

The new flourishes for formal aren't that bad. The ones for poplock made everyone in my PA laugh at me and say, "Oh my God!"

I actually do pop and lock in real life, when I got poplock1 I was amazed on how accurate it was. The freezes were tight the glides were so smooth, I was really impressed. The new stuff just makes me want to run around shouting "This is not pop and lock, don't believe them!"

I for one like the new flourishes, not because they are great, but because they are hilarious.

I just imagine myself being the dorky kid in high school getting in the middle of the dance floor and bustin a groove coz someone spiked his drink. Haha. Or Romy and Michelle at their reunion.

They are not as fluid as the old flourishes and look haphazardly thrown together, but hey we have new flourishes (like we asked) and they make everyone crack up...so heh, I like them. I even gave them names and the audience shouts out requestssoit givesme more interaction time withpeople and also just gives us all a good laugh. :-)
