The question is in the thread title!
I need the following HUD ...
* Can store an arbitrary number of dances, which I will add myself.
* Lists dances by the name I give them.
* Functions as a 'chimera' (I think that is the right word), so other people can synchronise their dance with mine.
* Is not outrageously expensive.
Not too much to ask, I think.
Which dance HUD do I need?
Which dance HUD do *you* use?

I use HUDDLES Deluxe, which not only does all that, but can be used as an AO as well. It's not super cheap, but I think it's worth the cost.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Huddles user here. The dancers version of the Swiss Army Knife It will cost more than some lesser HUDs but then again you are unlikely to ever need another

I thought the Huddles seemed a bit over complicated somhow, ended up going with Sensations Dance Promenade which does the stuff you want, Chimera is also popular and I don't think they are overpriced at only a few $US
When is someone going to make one you can layer special moves over base dances like the abrimations ones so you could really dance freestyle.

That's determined by the creator of the animations, not the script that runs them. |

Ah I suspected pirority had something to do with it, whough the hud would have to be able to run 2 animations at once or switchback to the main animation(but that brings the stand between dances thing) I guess custom dancing would be great, rather than just playing loops.

I like the Huddles because you can have several notecards with specific dances in them. Just load a notecard with "Salsas" and you do only your salsa dances. Load one with "Easy Babcock" and you do your Easy Babcock dances. You can interchange them, make new notecards and load them up, i.e.all your salsas plus your Easy Babcock. Also, it comes with a chimera which you have control over, so people click on you and can dance, and you can change everyone's dance style as you see fit, and not have to issue invitations to everyone in the vicinity. They also work in "No script" areas, not sure why or how, but they do. <3 for Keiki |

From: Sansarya Caligari They also work in "No script" areas, not sure why or how, but they do. The Lindens introduced a back door that lets AOs and vehicles work in no-script areas. I won' post exactly what it is here, because it could be abusable, but anyone can use it and if you're making one of these objects you'll naturally do the thing which triggers it. |
