Seeking Bento Dance Animations

[Pussycat Catnap 1,311]

My dances are out of date, and mostly splay my fingers into 'default pose' after a bit... The shops I got them for back in the day have mostly closed or look abandoned and haven't generally updated to bento...

So...

I'm looking for good 'motion capture or might as well be as they look that smooth' bento dance animations to replace my entire collection of old dances.

I found a great place with Latin dances (Paragon), but I need to get the rest of my choices down as well.

They need to obviously animate my hands / fingers and be be smooth with a longer duration.

If in a pack each dance needs to be distinct, and not like a 10 minute single dance broken up into 10 files that blend together so repetitively that #3 and #7 could be mistaken for each other...
- Each dance should be unique.

 

My preferred genres for this would be hip-hop, reggae, reggaeton, and something 'grove' / relaxed that I can play to any soft music and not look out of place.

 

Mostly looking for single animations, not couple animations.

I do see some stuff popping up in Marketplace, but I've not been fond of most of what I've demo'd... I'm super picky... but still looking for recommendations of what others like.

Abranimations is still around and has a lot of bento dances.  I go to a belly dance event every couple of weeks and replaced my old belly dance animations with some bento ones from there about a month or two ago.  I didn't get any of the other styles so can't vouch for them but should be worth trying the demos.

MOVE Animations Cologne - best I've found so far... Love that some of the dances even have cool hand and finger moves

I was looking for bento dances myself a few days ago and ended up getting a few from the Paragon place you mentioned. I searched a few places including Abraminations but went back and found some club style grooves at Paragon on the opposite wall to the Salsa dances that I thought were better. I got an IM from the store with a free bonus dance and he said they are getting new dances in soon.

I'm at their sim right now looking for a dictionary of terms. Trying to find out what styles "shake dat ass", "pushing action", and "Shakes you never seen" are. 😛

I think I've seen them at events and never been able to tell what they were so passed them by. Will come back though if you recommend them.

This is true. Already see some good dances there.
