Welcome to Sultrina's dance school.
Novice course:
So you just got your dancing shoes and are eager to try them out?

/startdance will bring up a list of dance styles at this point you have Basic and Rhythmic click one and you will start dancing.

Under the commands menu/other add the flourish 1-8 commands to your quick bar.

Now it's boogie time, have fun play with your flourishes!

TIP: Start making a dance card now, list all your flourishes and a brief description of what they do so you can find that special move for a special customer easily.

Intermidiate course:
Click on the bottom of your short cut bar and drag it down so you have two sets of bars.
Now make the following macros (if you don�t know how to this read the manual)

This macro gets you dancing basic fast.
/startdance basic;

This macro alows you to shift gears fast make one for each of your styles.
/changedance ;

Example:
/changedance rhythmic;

I can not emphasize this enough PLAY with your dancing and have fun with it there are tons of little goodies and secrets to discover and the more fun your having the more fun your customers will have.

Advanced course:
Now lets talk about /bandflourish
What does it do?
For a dancer it works like this: anyone currently dancing and using /bandflourish <1-8> will cause all dancers that are not already doing a flourish and do not have their /bandflouish off to do that flourish.
EXAMPLE: If all dancers are doing Basic and you do /bandflourish 7 all dancers will suddenly moonwalk in unison. If a dancer is doing another style they will still do flourish 7 but from that style.
How can I use it?
/bandflourish should only be used to enhance the show. With that in mind it�s a good idea to work with other dancers on putting together routines and not just start /bandflurishing them without warning. As with all dancing timing is the keys to making it look good. Any dancers who have not completed their last flourish will be left behind on a new flourish so you will have to watch all members of your troupe to time things corectly.
Can I turn it off?
Yes you can simply /bandflourish off. I recommend a macro for this comand because every time you stop dancing the flag will reset to on when you start again.




Professional dancing tips:
Flourish, chat and change outfits often. The first thing on your mind always should be how do I entertain these people?

Second thing on your mind is healing customers, why not the first?
1. Some customers aren�t there to be healed they are there to have fun.
2. No matter how good your healing skill customers heal over time so they deserve some entertainment
3. Flourishes boost your healing and your entertainment value.
Do look at your customers blue bar and see that it is going up (we cant see their fatigue) if it�s not patiently explain how the healing works

Last thing on your mind is your tips, XP and finding new clothes too wear. That�s right it is dead last, if your not doing the first two things on the list your not earning the goodies!

Never beg for tips, it's a good idea for one of the band members to have a macro instructing people on how to use the healing and how to tip though.

Should I macro my dance routines? No not really, I have one routine macroed so I can keep the boogie on if I�m bogged down in chat or a trade but that�s it.

Drifting:
Ah that unsightly drifting! We�ve all seen it some poor dancer with dreams of stardom suddenly finds themselves in the middle of a chair, table or plowing over other dancers. This problem shows up most often in Lyrical and Formal, but in fact all dances drift. Correcting drift is a simple mater of timing and timing is the building block for every dirty trick hidden inside the dance code. Ok let�s get started.

I call the dance animation that loops when flourishes are not performed �base� dances. It is in fact the base dance and NOT the flourish that causes drift. The reason is that a flourish always returns us to the spot we started the flourish from and not the point we started the dance from. This is actually a really good thing, but I won�t go into that now. Let�s pretend for a moment that we have a base dance that is a jump to the left and then a step to the right now if we start a flourish on the jump to the left our dancer will return to that position at the end of the flourish. This leaves us drifted one step to the left. In this case we can prevent drift with timing but we can�t correct it because the base dance doesn�t allow for it, but if we always flourish on the step to the right we will never drift in the first place!

Ok Sultrina so what? Well try this experiment, find a nice quiet spot and pick a spot on the floor. I like two use the nice + where cantina tiles meet. Fire up the ole formal or lyrical and watch your dancer stray all over the place moving back n forth over your starting point. Now try to start a flourish when your dancer is exactly on that spot and watch your flourish. When it ends your back to the same spot you started your flourish and if your timing was good you right back where you started your dance with no drift. Keep doing this until you mess up and get off your �mark� now the fun begins watch the base dance and until you cross back over your mark then bam hit a flourish! When that flourish finishes you should be back on yoru mark. Of course if you get to far off mark you will have get as close as you can and drift tword your mark then hit it the second tiem around.

The other cause of drift is certain emotes /smile being a good example because it forces you to auto face your target and �warps� the flourish. There are ways to fix this, but I�m not getting into that in this lesson. The only way for you to be sure to avoid this type of drift is do untargeted emotes.

Thanks for reading,
Sultrina

Dance like it matters Posted @ Sun, Nov 23rd 3:41 PM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] I dance because it is fun, and the tips are nice.  My largest tip was 30k, which was a real suprise. But I don't dance for the money, its the connections you make when you dance. I have been given free houses, clothes, jewelry all kinds of things. But its the interaction with other "customers" that makes the game worth playing. I can find new hunting groups, (I am a budding Master Rifleman) new pets (novice CH) and since I like helping newbies, it is a logical place to hang out. I started dancing on a whim, but got hooked real fast. As far as being part of a hunting group, yeah, its nice, because you can help the group out and you kinda get priority healing. I wouldn't say you need one on your hunt, but its not difficult to get a basic skill. Twileks get better stats for dance, but humans seem to attract more attention. Mind buffs I usually give away for free, not because I don't need the cash, but because it keeps you on the customers mind, which leads to some decent tips and MUCH attention. Wearing a fleshwrap helps also... My 10 rules for good dancers... 1) Play the role. (If people wanted reality, they wouldn't play the game...) 2) Find a good tailor and show some skin!! 3) Smile, laugh, giggle.. be the girl next door/boy down the street... 4) Always greet the "customer" 5) Never dance in your underwear. Its just wrong.... 6) Always try to help the newbies. They will remember you, and they won't be newbies for long... 7) Change your clothes and hair often. Boys too.. 8) DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB.....a girl has gotta pay the rent!! 9) Once you tell people your character is engaged or coupled, they will turn away. Word travels fast, and nobody, I mean NOBODY wants to talk to a soccer mom that moonlights... 10) Lastly, have fun. Be an extrovert. And never (NEVER) tell people who is really behind the keyboard. It doesn't matter anyway, and it may ruin your character's reputation if the BH that tipped you 20k last night finds out that your a 15 year old high school freshman that works at Burger King...yuuuck!!

Infinite Dancing Macro Posted @ Wed, Nov 12th 7:27 PM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] I am a Wookie Entertainer, I go by the name Anare ok Bria server, To create a macro that loops infinitely simply follow the proceedure below. Step#1 Create the macro, give it a name, and an icon. Step#2 decide what flourishes in what order and what tempo your flourishes will have. For example. Macro name is Dance Example Macro /pause 10; /startdance footloose; /pause 10; /flourish 1; /pause 30; /flourish 2; /pause 30; /flourish 3; /pause 30;/flourish 4; /pause 30; /flourish 5; /pause 30; /flourish 6; /pause 30; /flourish 7; /pause 30; /flourish 8; /stopdance; /pause 120; /macro dance The macro above pauses for a few seconds, starts the desired dance, and does one of each of the flourishes then stops, and rests for 2minutes, the reason for rests are simply because you will mostly never have a medic healing you, so what I do is after a period of time say 10 to 15minutes is generally how long my action lasts I chain enough flourishes to allow nearly all of my action to be drained which gives plenty of exp to medics that DO need exp (which is who we also want to help.) So the second just after the dance starts is what I call my routine, the command "/macro dance" activates the macro called dance that you created above, by putting that /macro dance statement at the bottom of your macro you allow your macro to loop infinitely, and since the macro is continually going, you can edit the macro before it loops back around and edit how often you flourish or increase the delay between flourishes. My macro is about 4 times longer than the one above, plus I extend the duration between each flourish to allow full EXP to be gotten from the action points expended. Step #3 YOU GET MORE EXP IN A BAND, by joining a band of other entertainers you gain more dancing AND entertainment healing EXP, also if you are new and your not exactly the subjects type that walks into the cantina, they may or may not listen to you, which means you will not benifit from that person... which is WHY you need bands, by banding together you gain more dancing and healing exp AS well as healing people quicker which is a win-win situation for everyone involved. Step#4 If you are AFK (macro dancing.) Avoid putting spam statements into your macro, as this will get you quickly ignored by other dancers who allready get annoyed enough by the redundant songs of the musicians... =) they dont need "welcome, enjoy the show" spammed fiftybilliontimes over the period of 5 hours of AFK macroing... Its a common courtesy and only fair for the people who are actually at their keyboards. By all means if you are at the keys feel free to Say hello, greet people, remember their names, welcome them back!, hug, wookiehug, etc.. it makes people enjoy the show, and REMEMBER you =) plus you are more likely to get tips if people remember and like you. Step#5 the whole reason for the entertainer is to have fun, help people, and talk to people... Most entertainers run around to different planets and cantinas trying to find a large band to get exp with, I consider this a form of entertainment power gaming... and honestly I dont frown on it, I just wish more entertainers were in smaller cities to heal the battle fatigue of desperate adventures instead of congealing in one city or one cantina like Corellia, coronet... =) I hope everyone benifits from this macro tutorial, if you like it feel free to stop by Bria server by the Tyrena Cantina on Corellia and thank me (Anare The wookie) for the time spent writing it, we can allways use more good entertainers in the world!. /wookieehugs YOU(hugs you soo hard she lifts you off the floor and nearly snaps your spine.)   0 Replies

It's not just for fun Posted @ Mon, Oct 6th 7:54 AM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] For those whom say dancing is only for fun your sorely mistaken. Belive it or not an entertianer can make a very healthy living never leaving the cantina if they so choose. What most fail to realize is that they are not making money because they are not entertinaing. Many seem to think that just hitting a macro button walk away and come back you'll have money. I say that AFK / macro performers (baring bands macroing a specific song  for bandflo's) are not entertaining at all. They are simply creating a droid. I make a VERY healthy living entertaining in the local cantina. It's simple really TALK to people. Entertian them , tell jokes , ask them how their day is going , flirt if you want. Point is make it FUN to sit there and be healed. If all they are doing is sitting there waiting watching your AFK toon spin around of cource they are not going to tip you. And even if they do it won't be much. Macro's I feel are simply not taking the craft seriously. So what if you fall on your rump once or twice miss timing flourishes or the band has one of those odd out of harmony monents , thats what makes it feel like a live performence. I have had lots of people tell me how much they liked the songs I play , they do because they have never heard someone just jam out and do it on the fly before in most cases. Entertianing is one of the funnest things in this game once you get into it you would be suprised. The jokes the puns the laughter , you'll know what I mean when you someday trip across a cantina like mine where the majority of the performers are live and laughing and talking it up. That 10 minutes till you heal passes a lot quicker with something to laugh and joke about. I have never EVER asked for a tip and I make a tone of them usually in the 4 digit numbers. It is bad form to ask for tips , people tip just like in the real world when you provide them with exceptional service. In this game that means making the cantina a place they like to go and relax after a hard day grinding whatever xp they where after.   0 Replies

Not my favorite look, but usually real cheap. Wrinkled Pants (100-250cc) Form fitting and much better than the desert crawlers you start out with.

the money is there... Posted @ Wed, Sep 3rd 9:07 AM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] "You will never get rich as a dancer. Do it for fun or go find a different profession." I disagree with this one. I've never said in /say hey, what about my tip. What I do is every once in a while, say once every 15 mins, is I shout that the cantina is open and announce the presence of someone else in the band. Then I say tips are welcome. But I never advertise for just myself. This technique has earned me over 23K in a month of off and on playing. I don't play all the time. If I have to go on an extended afk outing. The first thing I say is don't tip me while I am afk. I don't earn anything by being afk. For those who say I shouldn't dance while afk, I guess they haven't tried gaining 225000K entertainer healing experience or dancing experience. That takes a longtime. That's my 2 credits worth. Take it or flame it.   0 Replies

Recursive Macros: How To Posted @ Wed, Aug 13th 4:38 PM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] Lilu, you can write a recursive macro by having the macro button call itself: /action ui toolbarSlot01; (I believe this is correct- I'm not at my game computer now, otherwise I'd be playing) This command activates button 2 (not 1) on the toolbar (buttons number from 0, so Slot00 is F1, Slot01 is F2, etc).  You can even have your macros activate a different row using: /action ui toolbarPane00; Again, Pane00 is row 1, Pane01 is row 2, etc. So, you could repeatedly call your first three flourishes by making this macro, and putting it on F1: /flourish 1; /flourish 2; /flourish 3; /action ui toolbarSlot00;   1 Reply

More tips Posted @ Sat, Aug 2nd 10:40 AM 2003 By: Marionette Scholar 15 posts Score: Decent [3.00] * Go all the way up the Dance Knowledge branch before bothering with Dance Technique.  Dance Knowledge gives you new dances at each level. * Each new dance you gain gives more exp. * The larger the entertainer group, the more exp you get. * As you reach the top of each skill column you get a new title. * Macros can be used creatively. You can build whole dance routines for special occasions that would be near impossible to perfect on the fly. * Underwear dancers - just don't do it. * I never ask for tips. All but newbies fresh off the shuttle know how it works, and to beg for tips every 5 mins is just likely to piss people off. In my experience if there is a tip begger in the group my earnings go down rather than up. * You will never get rich as a dancer. Do it for fun or go find a different profession.

Remember, not everything revolves around combat... but... Posted @ Wed, Jun 25th 4:26 PM 2003 By: Taavetti Scholar 15 posts Score: Decent [3.00] Battle fatigue!  Yes, this is something that only entertainers can fix. Well, time can, if you're in the right place, but that can take a long time. When a player looks at their character sheet (control-C) and sees a number appearing in the battle fatigue box, along with any wounds in Mind, Focus, or Willpower, it's time to visit the cantina. Going into the cantina, having a seat, and either using the radial menu on an entertainer or targeting them and typing either /watch or /listen will allow the player to start healing all those "psych" wounds. And this should be done BEFORE trying to heal the physical wounds that are no doubt alwso present. Significant battle fatigue lowers the effectiveness of medicines used for healing the physical wounds (health, action, constitution, quickness, strength and stamina), so it's best to get in the habit of going to the cantina first. As for combat situations, dancers aren't equipped with combat skills - it's not their forte. However, they are not prohibited from learning any other novice skill and working up some skills in another area. A marksman who has entertainer skills can indeed be useful in a camp helping to reduce battle fatigue and other psych wounds (that's how it's intended to work, but it hasn't always been working properly during beta - it's being fixed, I believe). There, too, the other players need to /watch or /listen to the entertainer tobe healed. Though you can do your dance or music routine anywhere you want to, entertainment healing doesn't work outside of a cantina, camp, hotel or house (I heard it works in hotels, but haven't tried it yet), but it's essential to keep your friendly neighborhood hunters and fighters up to par.   1 Reply
