We did get a new song. The other songs were fine. Would be nice to get more new songs but after a year and a half waiting for this one I am not going to complain at the moment. My understanding from previous posts is songs are tricky to add due to copyright reasons. I hope they continue to add more new simmilar to how they added this one. I appreciate their work on this.

Because this thread is about musicians giving kudos for dancers, at least it began that way. Occasionally we have a thread about non musician stuff in the musician forum.

Yeah wonder why not one mentioned the new song before.

And isn't this one of the saddest things? I know that it appears to be true though. I would really like to think that a reasonable discussion of pros and cons of changes would carry the most weight, but all too-often, it seems, it's just who cries the loudest. My best guess is that this is really just the most visible and noticable way that change comes about though. Well, I really hope so... 
And yes, just to clarify my earlier post above - that was justmy reporting of what I've seen to be the general response of all this stuff from Dancers. Not my personal beefs or gripes or whatnot; the question was raised as to what dancers thought about all this, and that was this reporter's observations.
By the way... Western rocks!

The change in turning-while-emoting affected us too, didn't it? I kept trying to turn by /grinning and whatnot at a gig last night, and I kept failing. Also, I couldn't turn in third-person view, only in first-person.
I do like some of the new JTL emotes, though. /airguitar, hehe.

Not being able to turn in place is a huge drag IMHO. =( i really hope this gets fixed if it truley is a bug. *fingers crossed*
My girlfriend is a dancer and she was quite bummed when she realized this was no longer available. She does however like all the new flourishes.

Ack, the turning thing is happening to everyone? I thought I just messed something up on my keyboard. I have a workaround, though: turn on Chase Camera by using the keypad Delete/Period (.) key, move using the mouse, and then turn it off again when you're facing where you want.
I ended up having to do that in the Theed Cantina the other night.

Doing a /smile or /grin was still snapping my facing to the target as of last night. I haven't noticed any change with this part of things. Anyone else having any issues with /smile not turning your character to face your target?

I find that to turn on the spot I have to turn the Chase camera on by pressing the . (period) key on the numpad. this then allows me to rotate, but it moves the camera with me. If i then want to re-align my camera once my char is facing the right way, I turn it off again by pressing the . key on the numpad.
Its a workaround of sorts until they fix this annoying problem.

The turn on /smile, /grin, /wink all worked for me as recently as last night.

I'll also add my observation that the emote turning is working for me. We used it last night to get 4 of us dancing to surround and face a musician in the middle for some nice syncronized worship action.
My favorite method of changing my direction, though, is to zoom into first person view and face the camera where I want.

Which keys? I tried it with the right and left arrow key and I turned but I stopped playing also.
