I've been listening to music while making some Sims in cas. It is a little bit surpirising how ballet is not added yet with Get Together, noblity with knights, Seasons skating, Sulani's mermaids, Vampires pipe organ, and the little things with laundry day and the upcoming knitting. Adding ballet to add on what a kid can do wouldn't even be a problem. If I have it right it's like the Gurus are waiting until ballet is asked for than just giving us the small obvious piece to add to this poetic orchestra. I'm feeling excited just by thinking of ballet, while I'm still listening piano music. Where is ballet? It would be great toddlers can do that, too. That makes me think they should get a tiny piano like the Peanuts kid, as well.

I'd really like an overhaul that gave us better, actually musical theater style dancing in get famous, as well as usable partner dancing, with maybe a new "school dance" event to go with it. And then a playable dance career, with ballet, and maybe some other styles added, like tap and jazz. It's SUCH a neglected aspect in the game, and someone who was deeply into dance from age 4 through my mid-20s, it's somsehting I find myself feeling frustrated by in basically every save. Dance is a such a big part of so many people's lives...how can you add all these new music stations on the radio, but still ave the same tired dance animations for basically all of them?

Since they like to re-use animations, they could use some of the moves for both.
In Alphabetical Order
Argentinian Tango
Ballet
Brazilian Samba
Clogging
Cha-Cha
Charleston
Cuban Rumba
Cuban Salsa
Dominican Merengue
Electric Slide
English Waltz
Foxtrot
Hula - Mermaid already know the dance and have mastered it
Hustle
Lindy Hop
Paso doble
Tap
Viennese Waltz
> I would for one like the Sims to take dancing seriously. There are tons of different dance styles with some styles needing a greater level of expertise to develop skill in. My take is that Levels 1-10 allow you to learn new dances. Then there would be three hidden proficiencies Beginner, Intermediate, Expert that would determine how well the dance steps were performed once learned. My suggestions for learned dances.

Great idea, unfortunately, doing the animation for all these dances alone would get you probably about 6 EPs...I have yet to see two Sims dance the Rumbasim Together...
A simple slow dance, a ballet and a tap dance would go a long way! ;)
I proposed this idea some time ago and someone said they wouldn’t want every sport or physical activity separated into its own skill, because then it would make the Fitness skill useless.
I hope we one day get a dance overhaul there is sooooooo much that could be done with this.
> I would like a whole expansion to dance in the game honestly. I was so disappointed with the "dance" animation included with the "musical theater" bits in the Get Famous pack--it's basiclaly just the same as the dance work out from fitness and doesn't fit a musical theater style at all. Dance is only a 5 level skill, and level 5 barely looks any better than level 1. At least Jungle Adventure gave us some "Selvadoradan" dance animations...

I absolutely agree with this-- I would love even a few new radio station-specific dance sequences. Like the Jazz station from Dine-Out, sims could do the Charleston? Jazz is obviously broader than this, but I think something bite-sized like this would be in the realm of possibility for The Sims 4.
Something with an abundance of hobby and skill building items.
