Strangetown Extras: Smustle dance competition

Ripp recently gained enough enthusiasm in the Music and Dance hobby to have access to the secret lot, so he decided to visit, and he invited Johnny and Ophelia along.







All three friends sign up for a smustle dance competition, and the dancing begins.








That's some good smustling.




Soon it's all over, and Johnny starts to second guess his moves.




Ophelia anxiously awaits the results. Ripp does his best imitation of a shy person.




Johnny receives the bad news first.




Ripp is the champion, and he doesn't mind rubbing it in. Ophelia just can't tolerate her defeat. Ripp wins bragging rights and $500. Pretty sweet. That's an easy way to make money.




Ophelia gets over the loss pretty quickly. At least she's not as bad as some of the other dancers. They all have a good laugh at the lame dance moves of the other competitors.




Then Ripp heads upstairs to further his training.

Classy is one word for it. :D

It seems like Maxis cheaps out on new animations for a lot of EPs, like re-using the Smustle for dance competitions. Partners dancing would have been great.

Oops, I mis-read "classic" for "classy"! Not the same thing, is it... :D

Ha ha! Is it just me or does some parts of the Smustle remind others of the Monster Mash?

YES! And how Mascots haunt in their uniforms and cheerleaders do as well. (In the mascot uniform, sheesh.)

Its annoying to me because I never know what their relationship is at, especially since its always 100/100 HEARTS Even if they just got rejected... Maybe I'm just a little crazy. (But the high powered flirts with people they just met are annoying.)

EEEK! Ripp doing ballet makes me all kinds of giddy for some reason. ;)

I feel a need to chime in here and say that ballet gives you incredible strength and flexibility, which I'm sure Ripp can put to good use.

A lot of (American) football players take ballet lessons to make them better on the field.
