Thread: Survey: How much time do you spend DANCING?
)Message Edited by Drygo on 04-30-2004 10:00 AM
I have been a master dancer since... um... August. I am also a master Image Designer, master Entertainer and the rest of my skill points are in Music 4/0/4/3. This is my only character. Based on your definition of what is dancing, I guess you could say I spend nearly all my online time dancing. I use music usually only to buff someone, ID clients are relatively rare and I never dance AFK or use macros except when buffing. So... um, something like15 hours maybe per week dancing. Give or take a little it's really hard to say with accuracy.
I probably spend 6-8 hours per week doing dance prep work... Practicing, working with Tailors on new costumes, planning Player Events, etc.
Of my play time, I probably spend 30-40% (depending on the week) dancing, a sad 30% traveling between gigs (most of my dancing is done as custom gigs at the request of players for an event or hunting group, etc), the other 30-40% is spent doing "maintenance" tasks--I'm a Master Medic, too, so I need to craft meds, gather resources, go on hunting trips, do guild support work, etc. So I guess if you lumped it together, I spend 60-70% of my time doing things related to dance, 30% doing other things. But dancing is by far what I consider my primary profession--the other things I need to do to pay for new clothes

I spend the majority of my time dancing... or shopping for clothes for dancing.
On both Ahazi and Starsider I have the same Template (MD and MID)
Breestan you shopping all wrong!
It is a Sultrina ritual and something I highly suggest to "boogie test" everything I buy, therefore I can say with complete conviction I am dancing even when I am shopping! 
I been a master dancer since around 2nd week of release. When all my dancing friends got struck down with that dreaded disease "Jedi madness" I still stuck it out.
Now i am a full time entertainer. Having master dancer/ Master Musician/ Master entertainer/ and currently am working on getting two line of ID
Since i am non combat period i think that its safe to assume i spend probably 95% of my online time entertaining. of that 95% i would say about 50% of it is done dancing the other half doing Music..and the last 5% out of a hundred doing ID.
I really want to see this profession thrive..i enjoy it immensly so i am willing to put aside everything for it and have been doing just that.

Been a master dancer since June 2003... between my two accounts I dance and play music (and sing :smileyvery-happy every day. But I also roleplay... so hmm... I suppose I dance whenever I can!
If I said I dance in my sleep too, would that make me cwazy in the head? 
No , but I've seen the flos so many times that I close my eyes at times and see them.

Do Dancers who have no interest in advancing (skill point limit and such) count as Masters for purposes of the survey? I know some Dancers who are not Masters and care for XP about as much as a Master does.
Actively dancing....I'd say I spent about 2% of my time doing that. Again, if non-new non-Masters count.
Agreed, I'm currently 0/0/1/0 dancer, have been higher, will probably level higher again. But SP's mean that currently this is the limit. However I do spend a fair bit of time healing my guildmates and have no intention of dropping dancer. Probably 5 hours a week ATK dancing atm.
