Dance Cage

The Dutchie Dance Cage is designed as a restrained stage for movement, rhythm, and display. With clean lines and subtle animations, it offers an elegant experience focused on posture, motion, and atmosphere. Perfect for clubs, stages, dance floors, showcases, or decorative interiors where controlled movement takes center stage.

THE DANCE MENUS

The Dance Cage includes two dance menus:

• Dance – 10 restrained dance animations
• Dance More – 10 extended dance variations

These mocap dances are designed for smooth looping and visual flow, making the cage suitable as a static or animated stage element.

-----

IDLE ANIMATION

An idle animation is included for moments between dances or when the cage is used as a decorative element without active movement.

-----

SEQUENCE

A built-in dance sequence plays all 20 dance animations automatically.

The sequence can be stopped or changed at any time via the menu.

-----

BENTO HAND ANIMATIONS

All animations include Bento hand poses.

-----

TURN OTHER ANIMATIONS OFF

For the best results, we recommend turning off other animations — such as your AO or Bento hands HUD — as these can interfere with the poses.

-----

PBR MATERIALS AND REFLECTION PROBE (IMPORTANT)

This cage uses Second Life’s PBR system for hyper-realistic surfaces and lighting. A PBR-enabled viewer is required to view them properly.

For best visual results, place a reflection probe and some light sources in the room where the cage is used. This is especially important for the gold and iron.

-----

COLOR CHANGE

The metal and pillow can be colorchanged under the Adjust menu.

Temporary visual effects may occur during color changes, such as parts briefly appearing twice. These resolve automatically when you stand up and sit down again.

-----

DOOR BEHAVIOR

The cage door can be operated manually, but locks automatically during animations.

-----

There is also an adult version of the cage available, see related items underneath for this.
