Where can I find some decent dance animations that are looped? I want to put them in my dance watch. I would prefer them to be no mod/no transfer yet copyable. However, I am flexible on this especially if it is an animation I really like. :D

Thanks.

I don't know what the perms are off the top of my head, but you should check out Sine Wave...the dancing robots alone are worth the trip. :cool:

I've gotten some good ones from Anomations and Abranimations as well. Two of my current favorites are 'Twinkle Toes' and 'Tipsy Groove' from Abranimations-- both slightly crazy. :D

1. Sine Wave
2. Abranimations

I didn't buy at any other place, so there may be other good animation creators out there.

The hot place for dances these days is Sine Wave Island, by Easy Babcock. Great, fluid dances, all looping.

I'm also still digging on Stormy Roentgen's dance called 'Poppin' It' which is this totally amazing booty clappin' thing. It's available in her shop (forget what the place is called).

The multiple dancing robots are extravagant, plus kinda cheating on traffic score, but Sine Wave is a good example of why I'm holding off on doing any dance animations for my store: I'm just not confident that I can animate dances that are on par with what's already out there.

Sine Wave rocks. Period. I don't leave home for a dance floor without them.

I prefer dance floors without them, so I can stand out as the oh-so-hip dancer with them. :)

I'm just not confident that I can animate dances that are on par with what's already out there.
I did buy some dances there, but with most of them it felt too much like watching a puppet on strings (unnatural, jelly-like movement) and quite a number of them have really odd movement (the right arm will twist around, dissapear into the upper body and finally the hand sticks out through the abdomen). Or I might just be expecting too much from SL animatons :).

It doesn't have to be extravagent, I would prefer simple - mostly - natural movements over what I saw at Sine Wave.
