I need a "Shimmy" animation

You've seen Shakira dance. If you haven't, you're missing a marvel in human physics. Every joint in that woman's body is built with oiled ball bearings. She could cause minor localized earthquakes just with her hips.

I'm putting together a nice collection of dance animations in my Owenimations chim, but the one step that I'm missing is what I call the "Shakira shimmy". Mostly shoulders and butt vibrating very quickly while the arms move away from the torso to keep balance.

It's been done in SL, I know. While playing around with the animated tables in a club, I found one table that actually had this dance move. That got me excited about finding it somewhere, but to tell you the truth I don't even know who built that table. I've gone to so many dance animation stores now that I'm seeing the same stores twice. And I think I have Owenimations' library memorized.

Do any of you have such a dance among your animation scripts? Anyone seen such a beast somewhere? I'd really appreciate your help!

hmm I think I saw this one in a slave shop.... it's a basic bellydance move.... could check the middle eastern and (oddly enough)bdsm centric shops for it... next time I'm inworld I'll ask around.

Thanks, Jessica. I found it at last, but it was in an unexpected place. Checking the table in the club where I first saw the animation, it was discovered that the animation was for sale from inside the table object (thanks to Zalandria Zaius for discovering this for me!).

The original author of the animation does not appear to be in SL any more. Her store is a hole in the ground and she doesn't appear on "Find". But she's indirectly made me happy, since this appears to be an animation no one else has done. It's now in my dance ball!

could you share the club location? I didn't manage to get anything from anyone I was able to talk to... and I'd kinda like that one myself =)

I'm not sure you can find it on the in-game search, but it's the "Bad Intentions" club, owned by Shonda Marlowe. The table in back of the main area (across from the entrance) has it. Right click, Edit, go to contents, right click on "fast shimmy" and "Buy" -- the money goes to Shonda, the table owner.

If you can't find the club, IM me in game and I'll be happy to send you the Landmark :)
