Dancing in Second Life 2016 Challenge!
Back in 2014 I did a Dancing in Second Life challenge for one of my Monday Memes. Today I decided to bring it back since I’m trying to get more Second Life residents on Youtube. Last year I asked that you share an image or a video of yourself dancing in Second Life and answer a series of questions. This year, I am not going to be asking any questions, however if you would like to answer the questions from last time, you can grab them from this link.
Meme Instructions: Share a photo and/or video of your avatar dancing in Second Life. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments and share your pictures in the Blog Memes Flickr Group. UPDATE: Please remember to add the words “Second Life” in your tags or description on youtube so it comes up when people search for Second Life related content on youtube.
Here is my video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6SjlPUMrErM
I encourage everyone to please try and do a video on YouTube because we really need some other kinds of Second Life videos there aside from trolling and people giving birth (not that there’s anything wrong with that :P). I will try and add everyone’s dance videos to my Dancing in Second Life YouTube Playlist as I see them, thank you! <3
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.
Catwa Sarah Mesh Head
I have done two videos today, the second one is about the new Catwa Sarah Mesh head. Here is the video with some information about the head:
Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8sMhXtE91Wo
Information about the Catwa Sarah mesh head:
- Price: This is a basic mesh head, unlike her previous premium heads, so the price is only L$900.
- Add-ons: You can purchase several different add-ons to enhance this head at different prices. You can see a complete chart on Catwa’s flickr showing everything the premium and standard heads come with and the add-ons that can be purchased for them.
- DEMO: You can pick up a free DEMO in the Catwa marketplace store or the Catwa mainstore.
- Appliers: For a list of designers making appliers for Catwa mesh heads, see the Catwa website.
- Customer Service: If you have any difficulty with this product or have some customer service questions, I will not be much help so I suggest you contact the designer, Catwa Clip.
I am really enjoying doing videos on YouTube lately. I feel like I can explain things better and it’s fun to try something a bit different for blogging. If you have any suggestions of what else you’d like to see me cover in any future videos, let me know in the comments. I hope you guys get a chance to participate in the challenge today!
IMPORTANT UPDATES:
- If you are looking for music to use in your video that is not copyrighted, check out the Audio Library on YouTube.
- If you are looking for screen capturing software to make your video, you can find a list in this plurk: https://www.plurk.com/p/ln0b3g. I use Camtasia myself.
- Please make a note of Caitlin Tobias’ comment below and make sure you have permission to film and or take pictures on location in Second Life. I didn’t know about this rule myself, I will have to be careful and check the covenant of each sim next time I shoot images or video for the blog. If you are a sim owner, please consider adding in your sim’s convenant that you allow photography and machinima on your sim so we all know, thank you!

I love this challenge and be assured I will be doing a video too, soon!
Though, I do want to add – if you are filming in public places/clubs, there is a machinima policy, which is quite basic: if land information or convenant does not specifically mention filming is allowed, you need to get approval of the land owner first. (this doesn’t apply for pics, but for machinima it is different) See this: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Snapshot_and_machinima_policy
Hi Caitlin, thank you so much for letting me know! I had no idea. I’ve shot on so many sims before without even checking. Will have to be careful in the future!
Hi Strawberry.. May I ask what your settings (size, stretch,length) are at in Appearance for the Sarah Head? its perfect!
Thank You Tumble Fall
Hi Tumble, I never change my shape for any of the mesh heads so these are the numbers I always wear with all mesh heads:
Head Size: 58
Head Stretch: 38
Head Length: 45
Thank You!!
I have to say, the rules are odd. I wonder why there is a difference between still pictures and machinama? Wouldn’t you think it would be the same? In other words, it is ok if the covenant says “Yes” or simply doesn’t address it and “no” means no? Weird. Thanks for pointing this out because, yeah, I would have figured they were both the same.
Hello Strawberry, we made a dancing video my partner Staliah Resident and me while visiting a sim last year. It would be a pleasure for us if you think it can be shared on your blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnOD3d2wBc0
Haha I’m always doing silly things with dances on SL 😀

And here are a few with a dance group (Vanity DameZ) that my avatar is a part of:

I love dancing in SL, it gives me a freedom that I am now denied in RL.

Thank you for sharing the videos. I have subscribed and added your vids to my playlist on youtube!
Hi Berry and everyone! <3 Since I found SL first thing I loved about it is that you can dance a lot! and fun thing about learning how to video is you can watch it over and over ^_^ I love your new video! found something new to do. here's my favorite dance video. It's a cover for the song 😀 hope you guys enjoy it!

I’ve been a professional Dancer in SL for the last few years. When Chry posted about this this morning local time I just couldn’t resist doing a short video for you. I do try and film what I consider my better acts although that doesn’t always happen at the time I make or perform them. Thank you for this challenge 🙂
Helps if I add the link :/
https://youtu.be/x4nadSosnqo
Here’s mine! I made it a little while ago but it fits and I love it.
woo hoo! such a cool meme idea Berry 🙂 My plan is to do a new dance video once I get a good machinima app installed but I wanted to share this crude little video I made SIX omg 6 years ago at my home in Klein (up the hill from Alpha Auer’s old store).
I hope you get a kick out of how we all looked back then in our noob days haha
https://youtu.be/80sTV2HTlDo
Thank you all for sharing! I will continue to add the dancing videos to my playlist here as you guys share them:

I tried to take this seriously – honest I did! But these darn otters … well, you know how otters are. Big sloppy otter kisses to you all, Bay.

Ok… challenge accepted! This was filmed at Calas Galadhon Park before a captive audience…of cats and swans 😉

Hi, Strawberry! Long-time fan of your work. Here’s a video I did for the holidays of me dancing in my Reindeer Games outfit:

TOTAL NEWB at Video Capture but I did it!! You can check it out here — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooiDtdH1gNk
Unfortunately I didn’t have time to participate in this Monday’s meme but loved catching up on all the videos. Too many favourites to mention but loved the otters dancing as a couple.
I was also wondering whether you ever did a follow up on the ‘My three wishes’ of a few years ago as another one of my wishes has just come true with the announcement about lower tier fees!! Yayyyyy! It might be good to revisit them to see how far we’ve come. Just a thought…

Did one, inspired by your Ballet one:

Thanks again for participating! I have my new meme up now:
https://strawberrysingh.com/category/berrys-blogger-challenge/
This was a cute challenge! I should probably upload some of the videos I have recorded for some blogposts on youtube. Dancing on SL is fun! As always, such a great idea Strawberry 🙂
Here’s mine, I literally killed my graphic card, but had so much fun doing it 😀
https://youtu.be/hlNKCdEuVKs
And here’s me, coming up in the rear – couldn’t get a video, but I did snag a shot! 😀
http://royalscloset.blogspot.com/2016/04/you-say-you-love-me-like-no-other.html
This is old but I still like it 🙂
https://youtu.be/vX4y8h8ogKo
After taking forever I finally did it https://youtu.be/dgqhdNGP40Q
Can someone recommend the best free software to use for recording video in SL?
Playing around with different moods. I love this idea of the dancing challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SibNL9yGqc&feature=youtu.be
Bit late, but heres our dance video! 🙂
Youtube totally blocked the music on my video so I removed it. But here’s my blog post 🙂
https://kilolojenkinsinsl.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/dance-dance/
i’m sharing this for my sister Lexi Denver… she recently did this dance video and it’s awesome! she has posted another video so i wanted to post this one on her behalf. ENJOY!! <3
https://youtu.be/j1-ZnFY2xvg
Wish I’d seen strawberry’s post earlier. But oh well. this is a dance i did a little a ago using the Liquid Felon dance animations. Had to load to viemo b/c copyright restriction with this music on youtube
https://youtu.be/XALfrBX2uLg
Meu primeiro video! Adorei a ideia, sou fã de animações no Second Life!
This dance was my first machinima and that’s why it means something special for me. 🙂

Well I came late to party here, but this is an example of what we do as dance performers.
Why in God’s name are you dancing with avatars??? Go out and Dance in Real Life. That’s what is wrong with you people that play that stupid game, you do to because your real lives are lacking. Go live real life!
Thank you for the suggestions Tomas! I do dance in real life, quite often. Yoga and dancing are two of my favorite forms of exercising.
I do want to point out though that just because we’re dancing in Second Life, doesn’t mean we’re not doing it in the real world.
Also, please remember that there are many people that are disabled and/or too ill to be able to dance in real life. Second Life gives them the opportunity to be able to feel free enough to do whatever their heart desires, even if they are not able to do it physically in the real world. Please take 5 minutes to watch this video about a resident that has Parkinson’s and what Second Life has done for her: https://youtu.be/nyiiWxNguGo
I hope this information gives you a new way to look at Second Life and what it can do for people.
I am always the last to know about these things i swear.
