I'm surprised it took it this long to hit the boards.
There was no announcement of this because it was on the beta server before there was a beta. And this one they told us corrs about.

I'm trying to remember. Test the Rhythmic flourishes they should be changed too, I'm not too impressed. Same with Footloose and Poplock. I like almost all of the Poplock and not many of the footloose and rythmic but at least they look like a real dance. I can't remember if they went in to Basic so test those flourishes too.
I think Poplock is well done but then I've always liked the dance.

TC-Bria is open to the public.
The only one that isn't I think is the SpaceBeta server.

Woot!!!
We can actually talk about it now?
*does a happy dance*
Well, I for one totally love the new additions.
The other day there were five of us playing around with the new flows and it was a blast.
Footloose may look little over the top when dancing solo but in /bandflows it’s out of this world!
We tried it in “V” formation and it looked awesome, kind of like the tribal dance in the old Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America. At least that what it reminded me of.
Then we formed a square formation all facing in (4 female characters) and the one male dancer we had in group was in the middle of the square doing Exotic3 while the four of us were /banflowing Footloose2, and I kid you not, it looked as if we were worshipping him.
We got lots of nice comments from people coming in to heal BF.
The new and improved Poplock looked great no matter which formation we tried.
And the new Lyrical flows are beautiful.
The base dance still looks lame but I do kind of understand why it’s taking them so long to try to fix it if what they saying about the root of the problem is true.
Devs, hint…hint…, let us stack the flourishes the way combat people stack the special attacks so we can fluidly move from one flourish to another, so this way we wont have to even see the broken base dance and it will be so much easier for us to wait till you figure out how to fix it.
Now I just can’t wait till it goes live

yea I knew about these a while back just we couldn't say anything about them....but since the cat is out of the bag try some of these.
/rude "gives an unknown salute"...you will know what it is.
/hot "you lick your finger and touch your butt all like....ohh damn I'm hawt!"
/model "you walk around like a model showing off your clothes"
/rofl "well you roll around on the ground.....funny as hell looking".
/soapbox well....you now float like there is an actual soapbox under you....weird looking
actually there are quite a few more.....just hit the ctrl a screen and look thru. some of the newer unenabled ones are there just flashing and with no description. I saw a dancer dancing and had to ask...what the hell dance is that? poplock. /rofl
after I do /rofl I yell man down when I am on the ground.....its funny....to me.
the emotes were fun for me. lasted about 2 hours of me trying them out with other people. give it a go.

YAY, I CAN talk about it.
Even the musicians can stack flo's....for some reason the dancers can't though. That wouldn't certainly be a welcome addition to our repertoire so we can avoid the ugliness of the broken base dances, and we'd be able to use them in performances.
And, I agree, some of the new rhythmic and footloose (has anyone tried basic, /flo 8 yet? lol) are a bit over the top. But, overall, this expansion brings with it some very cool new /flo's for us! I can't wait till they go live. In fact, even though, some of the /flo's are a bit odd, the fact is, every single dance (except exotics) is now completely filled out with unique flourishes. So, that's a good thing!
/worship devs
(worship being one of the new emotes).

I was glad to see this too. It offsets the current travesty with the new dance they provided.
I'm not overly fond of the footloose flourishes, but the new poplock flourishes...wow. I'm just glad they decided to do something for dancers in the expansion.
Of course, my guess is that you don't need to buy JTL to get these changes, so I'm still trying to figure out exactly why I should dump $30 for it...
Pretty sure that's the case, I'll lick a frog for MD on my non-JTL enabled accounts and double check though.

Yeah I'm not in beta and was able to get them.
It offers me a chance to create on spacebeta1 server when I go to the TC char creation but I haven't tried it, I figure if I do then it will say NO FOR YOU.
I'm sure I COULD have gotten into beta but considering how much time I am able to dedicate to testing on TC I figured I wouldn't waste a beta space for me to end up not using

You don't need JtL, I did the new dances and createdthe new clothes without it on TC-Bria. So, I think it's safe to assume you won't need it when this goes live.

Yep, these are being billed as "fixes." They are actually from the mocapping that took place many moons ago. For the record, Ravenmist told us these would be coming out with JTL a long time ago. I'm glad everybody has gotten to see them now, I've been busting to talk about them forever and was actually hoping for a leak. heh, bad corr! *slaps own hand*

So, that's what we'll be asking for attention on and will hopefully see before or during our pending prof revamp.
I'm pretty fond of the "butt hop" in footloose now personally. hehe
