I'd like to be able to put a ribbon or ribbons on a sword and dance like they do at karate exhibitions,I can't recall what it's called.
Or even encorparate certain "weapons" that are dance props and change the flourish sorta like songs for musicians
I'm not sure if we have a /startband command or /changeband like musicians, but would definitely help alot, as long as there is afktainers around i'd like to have some fun with them and make them dance decently. =p
Base dances that show properly, especialy with the new dance, would be cool putting on some show in the theaters and not ahve the wonky sliding goin on.
Wearable pets would be cool, i'd love to have a pet boa on me for exotic dances.

BTW, Drygo, and other interested parties, I found out a mechanic on whisper that is awesome and I wish I had known about forever, which *does* make it work (at least to one person).
If instead of just "/whisper That wookiee is eyeing you", I type /whisper>Drygo "That wookiee is eyeing you", then Drygo will see something like 'Scipionus whispers [to you], "That wookiee is eyeing you"' (I'm not sure if the 'to you' is included or not), where other people will just see "Scipionus whispers to Drygo".
I hadn't thought to try using comma delimited name lists to whisper to several people, but if you can, I imagine that's how it would work.
So, "/whisper Drygo,Draygo Watch out for your alter ego" would be readable by Drygo, and by the semi-fictional Draygo.
It's fun, but a warning that it *can* annoy people, just like lekkuspeak, in that they feel they are being talked about.

Oh, and well... I can think of two types of dream dancers.
First is the pure dancer, radiant, charismatic and graceful.
They dance both complex and fast combination of incredible complexity and athleticness and slow, deliberate moves. Every single action is they take follows the same pattern, though this is not just a modus operandi, but the they are.
They intrigue everyone, they are well known in the upper ten thousend and the monarchy (espacially on Naboo) does a great effort to be seen with them regulary. They are an icon for the city and planet they come from and are therefore regarded as a kind of local heroe.
(lyrical and formal)
The other one is that of a dancer to a band.
Everything they do belongs to the context of the band. They are the good heart and soul of it. Anyone who has ever seen the show would never be able to remember the words and tunes of a song without having the dance in mind.
They don't know as much about music as the musicians do, but have a very good feeling, a feeling that easily supersedes the R2-A-DUR drum droids "feeling" (not to say programming) for rhythm.
They focus not so much on being graceful, but to cheer up the masses, but they can do this with simplest moves. They can interpred complex communication into the movement of an eyebrow, may it be a musicians or that of the other dancer on the oppisite end of the stage, to keep the band synchron. They are able to give signs noone in the audience would recognize when the band gets to fast, to slow, or a musician is somehow loosing it to make it up again. They are also a proxy for the audiences reaction, having a good feeling what they wanna hear next.
(basic and popular)

Problem with German keyboards is that you can't produce the > or < in game on it, so you can't whisper to anyone. Well.... you could if you copied the text '/whisper>' from you clipboard, but I usually need my clipboard.
