HOW TO: Bar Dancing

I love Bar Dancing. 

Bar Dancing is dancing on the bar. Almost from the beginning of my SL I have bar danced ... first at Juke Joint Blues, then at the original Not Too Hot. Here is a photo by Wisdom Whiteberry of a group of us bar dancing in April 2008.



You can Bar Dance at the NotTooHot Club any time. It can be done impromptu by just hopping on the bar and dancing away. We used to have fun dancing and knocking people off the bar. Of course, for some getting on the bar is a challenge.

Over the years we have become more sophisticated bar dancers. With synchronized dancing through HUD's we wanted to line up and all dance together. At the old Not Too Hot we used a line up of pose balls for positioning. That made it easy to get on the bar, but had the disadvantage of looking cluttered with unused pose balls hanging in the air.

With the new NotTooHot, I have placed a Bar Dancing Positioner in the Bar XPOSE



On the XPOSE menu click on Bar DancerR or Bar DancerL to place a square on the right side of the bar or the left. Here I am looking at the partially transparent square on the right side with the lettering 'Bar Dancer' on it. 



The XPOSE rezzes this square, which is a positioner for placing people in line on the bar.

If you move your cursor over the Bar Dancer Positioner, you see a hand. Sit on the Bar Dancer Positioner and you are magically placed on the bar. If there is more than one dancer using the poisitoner, the dancers are automatically lined up. 

In addition to placing you on the bar, you see a blue menu (with Firestorm).



The menu gives different arrangements for the dancers (up to eight at one time) and allows for height adjustment also. All of the bar dancers have full access to the menu. Of course, you need a Dance HUD or the Dance Ball to dance.

Happy bar dancing!!!
