Hey everyone! here with an update for you all.




I: Megaplex Dance Info


*** From what I've heard so far, Megaplex turned out to be a nice con! And most of all the dance activities planned to go on went well!


- The dance competition this year went pretty well from what I've seen! has uploaded all the videos to her YouTube page, so you can check all of them out HERE

Congratulations to the winners, Matsi, DaveRab, and Zoomba! And great job to all contestants, it really was a great competition.

A big thank you should definitely go to for running the competition this year once more! And providing a prize for first place as well as a stable system for everyone.

- Another big shout out to for choreographing and putting together the opening group performance for the competition. I'm so happy this went well even with the small amount of time that was provided. And thank you to all of those that joined in to help him!


- As far as the official DF cypher goes, I didn't receive word from anyone about if it happened or not. If anyone knows I'd love to hear about it and find video! I am sorry to all those that were looking forward to this, but it was very last minute and time was against us. We are going to continue to try and set these up at every con possible for you all though!

If you know of a con you're going to that you'd like to see an official cypher at. PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP, we'd love to help you get one going or give you info about it if there has already been one set up!



Here's the opening group performance!

II - Example Videos for Dance Styles


*** As many of you already know, we are planning to redo every single one of the styles posted on our front page possible with furry dancers. This is because we feel it will encourage others to learn by showing that it isn't just professionals doing it, we as furry dancers can as well! It also gives a bit of exposure to other furry dancers that may not be as well known due to not competing in competitions or having suits and such. :3


- We got almost all of the Hip-Hop styles done during AnthroCon from many of the dancers that were there during a small filming session we had. Expect those rather soon, I will begin editing those once I have finished solo videos for other dancers. c:


- We will also be seeking out other dancers to do other styles that we haven't grabbed already.



Here's an example of the solo videos I've been doing, since all the example video footage is on locks at the moment.

III - RainFurrest and other Con Cyphers Info


*** We're going to also be setting up an official cypher at RF this year too! Big thanks to for being up to help set up and run this. More info will be available soon once I've worked out details with him.

- There are many upcoming cons! And I'd like to do my best to try and hold cyphers at each one so that furry's have the chance to share the experience we have at AnthroCon every year at other cons as well. So please if you are going to a con in the near future and a cypher has not been set up for it, please note us immediately! We'd love any and all info about the hotel/convention center spacing, timing of things, and other such info you can provide us.




IV - Anthrocon's DancerFurs Cypher


*** During this years cypher at Anthrocon, a staff member named General Talon approached me and expressed his pleasure with the cyphers we've been running at Anthrocon. He really loves and supports the dance community and ended up offering me the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom to hold the cypher at next year. I told him I'd think about it, talk it over with Blue and of course, get all of your opinions on this matter. Because this is of course for you!

So I'm gonna point out the obvious negatives and benefits that have come to me so far after discussing this with Blue. And I'd love to hear all of your input, what you think, and if you have anything to add to this list!

= as a side note, this of course would only be for the official one we hold every year. There are always multiple cyphers popping up throughout the con.


- Positives:

-Less hassle with security in using loud music, speakers, outlets and such.
-Louder Music
-More recognition for the DancerFurs group and its members
-More Space (we would clear out the chairs like they do for the nightly dances)
-It would be an official panel (people would be able to find out more about it by seeing it in the conbook)

- Negatives:

-We wouldn't be in the window space anymore (due to location move inside the ballroom)
-Not as out in the open as the old spot is
-Time constraint would most likely be a max of 2 hours (we miiiiight be able to push 3 but I doubt it)
-Could possibly be confused with another dance rather than an actual Cypher.


As far as now, this is what we have. We'd really really love to hear your feed back so let us know what you think!


Here's videos of how the past three years have been!
