If you use /changedance then it appears that almost 75% of the time it will FORCE you into doing a random flourish, I personally cannot STAND this I don't use macros other than "/changed basic2; /flo 1" and such, and this screws them over, making any hope of some cool, complex dances impossible >_<

Anyway, maybe pass this on to the devs if you can? I reported it with /bug already...

My other pet peeze is the movement/dance transition. When you're dancing and need to move across the floor slightly to reposition, even a single step, you end up standing there for what seems like forever getting messages saying 'You cant do that while running." that makes ANY movement other than turns impossible to integrate into a dance because you end up with a ridiculous looking pause in the middle of your dance.

There needs to be some kind of toggle that will let you overcome that pause.

Actually, from what I've noticed the flourish is not random. When you changedance while currently flourishing you'll do the same # flourish from whatever dance your changing too, even if your mid flourish. In most cases this looks really silly because the dances don't match, but I have found some combinations of switching even more then once per flourish that looks really awesome.

So yes it can be a pain, but it can also give you some great variation on your current dances if you play with it and find things that blend well.

Excellent raven, I'll try to mess with this this afternoon, Ibet you are right, because usually I change dances to keep it going smooth without returning to the stupid "wait" animation, such as on footloose where you sit there and look like a retard after spinning around and such, so I try to make sure that the retard turning thing never happens - it does make sense, because I have noticed that depending on what I was doing it seemed to always be a certain flourish, hah, thanks for the info =)

There should still be 2 changedances, one with that feature and one without...then again, all you have to do to do the same effect is type "/changed rhythmic2; /flo 4" and you should instantly do the twirl jump dealie, usually this isn't so...anyway..thanks again for the insight =)
