Dancer Archive

Well, after one failure (And the 25hr wait), I got the theatrical dance at about 4am GMT. At first I wasn't sue of it, but it's grown on me. It wanders a lot, and takes up a lot of space, sure but if you try and time the flourishes just right, the wandering can be kept down a little.

One thing that's clear, though: It's not meant to be performed in a cantina. It's for the big theatre stage. If you look at the moves, they seem to have come from various musicals. A friend of mine that did the quest with me pointed out that it seems very much like musical theatre, and he was right. Flourish 6 looks like something out of Cats, the rest out of a dozen musicals I've seen. Put three or four people together and perform the flourishes, it looks even more like it. Do some singing, and voila... even though they drift apart, it's not such a bad thing. And with the marks on the floors of the city stages, you can better tell where to start flourishes to minimise drift.

I can't wait to see this peformed by a big group in a theatre, with a band at the side. Throw in some costumes,get an audience... and you can have a heck of a show.
