A shame I had to miss most of it. Nevertheless, I aspire to be present next time the ball comes around! Had some lovely interactions with the people here.
Personally — and it’s just my opinion — I find the in-game /dance emotes immersion-breaking, especially for what is supposed to be a graceful, Thalassian themed ball. It was why my character left early: I saw no way to participate in the event and remain in character, and I’m sorry for that.
An example of a good, immersive dance event style, in my opinion, is the dance nights Acrona hosts in WoW in FFXIV. They involve choreographed group dances composed of simple, short emote animations according to the dance master’s directions.
If having the dance master shout directions IC feels too immersion-breaking, perhaps they could be made in raid chat for those willing participate.
We had a few solo dances that were without the use of /dance, unfortuanly I’ve never delved into choreographed dances, but I will look into making one next time. We just barely had the time to get things all together, spent months preparing the event, the guild and assessment program!
I am still glad you came and participated, even for a while!
