Think I might still have one I can send ya, if Gremlin Linden didn`t walk of with it.
Though takin gifts from strangers is not exactly a good idea :)

Forgive me if I'm too basic and you know all this already. MAking it simple in case other's are wondering.

The Dances are simply animations. You can not attach them directly. They need to be placed in a Dance Animator (or chimera aka chim).

Chims can be found in various places. I use Amythest's chim, which I beleive can be found at Sensations store.

To add dances to most chims, you simply need to follow these steps;
1) Rez the chim (be sure to be at a place where you can rez).
2) Edit the chim and go into the Contents tab.
3) Drag/Drop the dance animations from your inventory into the Contents section of the Edit pane for the chim.
4) Take the chim back into yoru invbentory.
5) Wear chim. (or you can use the "Attach to.." option to change the attach point to any place on your avatar. Most use hips, pecs, chin, or mouth as these are seldom used locations)

Some chims require you add the dance animation name to a notecard, or to reset the chim before new animations are implemented. Be sure to read the documentation for your chim FULLY before adding dances.

Dude, you are a true and good friend, and I love you like the brother that my mom claims she never had, but you are in fact acting like a flaming douche on white toast with a side order of dickknob salsa..maybe you should reconsider this course of action and we go find something else to do.
