Abranimations Dance HUD Instructions
This is a personal dance HUD that allows you to add dances and have them play in sequence. You can load your animations and play them straight from the HUDs inventory or you can setup play lists with specific animation lengths and play order. Each notecard can hold up to 12 play lists. Once a play list notecard is loaded the different play lists can be triggered instantly by pressing a button along the top or via a drop down menu.

QUICK STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO LOAD DANCES
1. Drop the Dance HUD on the ground. Do not try and add dances while it is attached to your avatar, SL will not let you unless they are full perms.
2. Right click on the Dance HUD and select edit to view its contents.
3. Drag the animations from your inventory into the dance huds contents.
The Dance HUD will now reset itself loading your animations. You can play them now without setting up any play lists at all! If you wish to set them up in a specific order, give them specific play times or group them into separate play list groups you will need to edit the notecard inside. The default play list notecard loaded is called 'MyPlayList' (you can create other ones as well however)
SETUP A PLAY LIST
1. With your Dance HUD on the ground still, right click on it, select edit and then open the MyPlayList notecard in its inventory.
2. Create a new play list with the line *Playlist=Name of your play list
3. Below this, on separate lines enter the name of the animation and its play length separated by a comma. If you do not enter a time the HUD will assume the dance should play with the huds default animation length.
4. When you have finished setting up your play list save the notecard.
5. When the HUD has reset and loaded your settings the row of buttons on your HUD will light up. Each button is a different color and represents one of your play lists. Clicking the button will instantly change to its respective play list.
INVITE GUEST DANCERS
It is possible to invite other people to dance in sync with you.
To do this click the bottom right button with picture of people dancing on it. This will then display a drop down menu listing avatars near by you can invite. Clicking their names will send them invites, if they accept they will start dancing. You can remove them by clicking the minus sign next to this button. If you wish to do a mass invite go to the options menu (bottom left button) and select 'Invite All'. This will attempt to send invites to the 12 most local dancers.
Please Note: In this edition of our dance hud all dancers will dance in sync with you and have no separate control over their dances. If you wish guest dances to have more control check out our wearable dance machine 'DanceSphere' . This gives guest dancers more control allowing them to pick dances manually etc.

I have been through quite a few dance huds... this by far is the EASIEST and most organize out there. TY I love it and ill be buying more dances too
It Stops All the Time
Nice interface, simple to use, great functions but it stops all the time. VERY ANNOYING.
Agreed ~ maybe 3 years old BUT
Its amazing, simple to use, drag and drop config, or you can create playlists in NC's very easily
Abranimations never disappoints...
I just love this store. I can't say I've bought a LOT of things from Abranimations, but I've picked up a few things over the years and I've always been happy with those purchases.
So, as I went looking for a dance HUD, I spotted the Abranimations name, I figured I was onto something good. At half the price of other comparable HUDs, I just went ahead and bought it. Now that I can see it in action, I'm glad I got it.
And not only is it half the price, it's also half the number of running scripts as other HUDs in this class. I saw a review of one complaining of the 37 active scripts. Well, I can tell you this one's running 19. I'm no expert on dance HUDs, and maybe there are some out there with even less scripts, but from what little I know about it, I'm quite happy with what I've got here.
Abranimations is a brand I've come to trust.
