Yes, and that's why I think we need some shared objects to be granted in our boxes for Dancers to provide at parties and such. Also for ourselves for group performances to keep us in place.

It would take some doing, as it is outside of our existing code base and (as far as I know) there are no mocaps for such but it would be very cool and might even be done in such a way as to include non-entertainers in our fun!

Well having recently taken up Matrix online i have to say SWG's social scene lacks something in the audience side.
SWG has a great Dancer/musician system for putting on shows but all the audience can do is stand there clapping, emote or do a crappy /dance emote. Most will never have a decent dance for just enjoying the party as such.
Now in Mxo everyone has 5 dances, these are pretty basic club style dances are rooted on the spot and obviously cost no skills. This is what SWG needs.
Dancers/musicians would lose nothing as the dances would serve no purpose except for effect yet it would give parties a much better atmosphere as people would be able to actually dance and look like they were dancing with someone as they dont move around.
Id love for Mxo's in game web radio system to be moved here aswell but we cant have everything can we.

I wish they'd at least make more emotes for the base dance steps....so just like /dance looks like lyrical they could have one for popular, rythmic etc. And there should be a waltz or something people could rent for weddings.

I'm hoping some things can be lifted out of MxO too now that it is being ran by SOE. Soooooo many things from MxO would work great for SWG.

Oh... I'm a huge of the salsa! Also, some classical styles like pas de duex partnering would be awesome as well

emotes that need consent is a huge one.

/agreed
MxO might actually more RPable if the SWG chat system was copied over too. No spatial balloons makes it hard to keep track of who is saying what.
The dance commands are nice idea and do make for a much more sociable evening, the cantinas really would be buzzing again.
As for machine radio, I listen to it whilst playingSWG via the website and you can request tracks through the website.
