CHRISTMAS EXTRAVADANZA by EUPHORIA Dance Troupe
This week (December 17th - 21st, 2014) has been the spectacular concluding set of four shows by the SecondLife® Euphoria dance troupe that was granted access to Linden Lab's LEA12 sim for the past 3 months.
Euphoria's CHRISTMAS EXTRAVADANZA production showed that they wanted to leave LEA12 with a super-nova bang that wow'ed all those that experienced it.
Toy was lucky enough to experience the Saturday afternoon show and wanted show you all a small glimpse of this amazing show!
The Christmas ExtravaDanza is a major production / show whereby guests get into and take a magical two hour Santa-guided Christmas sleigh ride tour through the LEA12 sim that was beautifully transformed into multiple Christmas themed stages. The ride is very similar to taking a long guided ride through a real-life adventure theme park.
The sleigh rode the show guests through the entire sim, stopping at each holiday stage where members of the Euphoria dancers performed a choreographed dance to perfectly selected music. When the dance completed, our Santa tour guide moved the guest laden sleigh to the next stage to witness the next music / dance / stage performance. I counted 11 stages where the Euphoria team performed for the sleigh guests !

| The sleigh itself is an amazing feat of SecondLife engineering as it held over 25 riders - some guests actually sat on the reindeer and the edges of the sleigh when there were no more seats! To create a form of transportation that could even attach and move over 25 laggy avatars is amazing. The sleigh was pulled by Santa's reindeer and other than a couple laggy hesitations / stops during the rides between stages, it went quite smoothly. Even when there were unexpected pauses, our Santa tour guide entertained the audience as did the audience itself in fun entertaining local chat! |  Click to enlarge and see the sleigh - stopped at a Toy Factory stage |
The entire tour, the selection of all the music between stages, the fantastic choreographed dances by several of the Euphoria members that created and performed, the sim build by the talented RestlessSoul Blackheart, the creation of the entire concept produced by SexyS Quintessa. It all came together to provide the audience with a spectacular Christmas holiday experience not to be forgotten.

I have been a HUGE fan of the extremely creative and talented individuals in SecondLife's large an growing community of the staged dance performance community. Their talents rival what anyone would see on a real life stage or a Hollywood production. We are blessed to be able to witness their works in SecondLife! For those in SecondLife that were not aware of this community or that believed it was just some tacky dances of avatars on an animation.... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALL MISSING !
