Dance in Second Life Challenge
This week’s Monday Meme is going to be a photo and/or video challenge. I thought it would be fun to see what kinds of dance animations are your favorite in Second Life and where you like to buy them.
Meme Instructions: Share a photo and/or video of your avatar dancing in Second Life. Also answer the following questions and share your favorite dances and animation stores with us. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments and share your pictures in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.
(this is where I got the song in the video)
I used Camtasia to capture this video. If you’re looking for a screen capture software to make a video of your own, you’ll be able to find many options listed in this plurk. You can also just trying making a gif for a few seconds if you prefer. I tried using gyazo and it turned out a bit choppy. If you are unable to share a video, then try to see if you can just take a picture and answer the following questions.
- Which dance are you sharing in the image/video and where is it from? I thought it would be fun to try out one of the Latin dances from Henmations. So I logged ManBerry in and let him woo me.
- Which is your favorite dance in Second Life? – I think it’s still the bellydance one from Animazoo that I bought in 2008. There is a video of it at this link.
- What are your favorite dance animation stores in Second Life? – I don’t dance that often in Second Life anymore so most of the stores that I have animations from are very old, such as Sinewave and Animazoo. However, recently I went to Henmations, MyAnimation and Humanoid and they also had a nice selection.
- Are you a frequent dancer in Second Life? – I used to be. When I first joined SL, that’s pretty much all I would do, all day. I loved to bellydance as well as slow dance using the slow dance animations from Bits and Bobs. Those are still my favorite slow dances. I don’t dance very often anymore though. Whenever I do feel like dancing these days, I always end up at Gol or the old club I used to bellydance/host at, Habibi.
- Are you a frequent dancer in the real world? – I am. I tend to blast a lot of bollywood music and bounce around in my room. My friends also drag me to clubs/parties once in a while. I love dancing. I think it’s great exercise and it really helps me relax and release a lot of stress.
Please remember that you can participate in any of the memes/challenges at any time. You’ll find them all under my Blog Challenges category along with other memes and challenges I’ve done over the years.
I hope you guys are able to participate! <3

Hey Berry!!
Hope you are well!! I did have a moment’s panic wondering how I was gonna manage to shoot this one but TG i remembered I had old old shots!
Here is my little contribution:
http://style.angeltzara.com/2014/03/24/dance-in-second-life-challenge/
Couple of handy tips for anyone making quick videos in SL. I use the free version of FRAPS to record, and I hit the CTRL + ALT + F1 shortcut to take SL to fullscreen (remove all HUDs and start the dance going first). The free version of FRAPS will record in 30-second bursts and does have a small watermark at the top of the screen, but it’s enough to show a dance preview. F9 is the stop/start key.
Then, use the (again, free) Handbrake program to reduce the file size. Just select ‘source’ and browse for your file, then under the ‘video’ tab, select ‘constant framerate’ and hit ‘start’. Handbrake will take a 350MB file down to about 3.9MB without any perceivable loss in quality (well, enough for a quick blog preview, anyway).
Hope that helps. I managed to knock out two quick videos in less than ten minutes doing it that way 🙂
Blogger ate this twice. Hope it stays up this time. I DID make a backup of sorts after the second disappearance.
Gotta love the challenges that come with the job.

Gah, I wish I could dance something Latin-y like this RL, Berry.
I spend too much of my time roleplaying in SL to blog, but in the deep-dark forests we dance with spears:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVaBXMyC_EQ
The dances start about two minutes in and are a mix of tribal, contemporary and fire-fan animations from A&M Mocap Danceworks that somehow turned out to look pretty good while we’re all holding sharp sticks.
Ohhh Strawberry , what a beautiful Meme, I love to dance. Congratulations on your movements graceful and clothing, you’re delicious ^ ^

If I would have had more time I would have done a video but first gotta learn how 🙂 Here is my meme http://anadorkableblog.blogspot.ca/2014/03/lotd-117.html
Ty again fora wonderful challenge Berry!
thanks skell for tips ^^ i already used the combination to hide second life interface but since i bought my new laptop these keys didnt work anymore well i hope one day ill find another solution
Yas, I had the same problem on laptop. Its because of ur dekstop properties on laptop. Try this and that combination will work :
rightclick on the desktop – Graphics properties – Advanced mode – ok – Options and Support – uncheck box Enable
So fun, as always.

I did a Dancing Meme, but I have to admit I didn’t answer the questions lol… I was more excited by a bunch of not so scary bikers dressed in cute animal PJs and dancing the Harlem Shake!
http://rudhsrandomramblings.blogspot.nl/2014/03/diggin-dancing-meme-gator8-dance-routine.html
I love to dance, anytime any where but in secondlife its a bit more difficult. One has to have ‘balls’ to dance! Its alright if you join a club or go to a ballroom, they provide the means to dance but I had a lot of trouble finding some sim owner who would let me rez my own dance poses.

I did it. I figured out making a video! I feel accomplished for the Nets; fixed a broken blog and learned to make a video all in one day.

I am soooo late with this one – and there is no excuse for it but weather woes (and aren’t we all tired of them? Spring-eo, spring-eo! Wherefore art thou, SPRING-eo?!)…
ANYWAY, I did finally post something delicious (well, I think it’s delicious because Aeon’s in it, and HE is delicious!) – and then…I forgot to come back over here and post the link! YIKES!
I do want to share, so pop round when you can.
And keep dancing!
