Posted July 30, 20222 yr Unbenownst to most modern historians (a contradiction in itself, or is it?) dancing was quite popular in the age of pirates. Here you can see Swash Buck Johnny performing with "Baby" Francis. Their dance act was alway spectacular. You would never know if the final jump would work out. Everybody would hold their breath in anticipation. Later, Frances said something about a watermelon, which was kind of weird as nobody had seen such a fruit and such a brick had not been found on bricklink..
August 1, 20222 yr Great job with the dynamic pose for Johnny and Francis! And I really like the truncated cones for women's skirts. Very clever! Good job with the floor, too. And of course the array of minifigs is excellent, as always.

August 1, 20222 yr Dancing was also popular on Sid Meier's Pirates game. This is a very beautiful dance hall built with many details. Johnny and Francis can dance very well.
August 1, 20222 yr Quite the spectacular dance hall. Swash Buck Johnny must be in good with the local authorities to dance in such a fine establishment. The pose is great, and the skirt give the impression of movement.

But what inspired you to build a MOC of pirate ballroom dancing of all things? It is ballroom dancing, isn't it?

Yes it is ballroom dancing. And I am doing this myself. I had thought about those cone-skirts for some time - and now I managed to turn this into a MOC.

August 7, 20222 yr The coloring is quaint, until I want to talk more of them - but the dance has the ball.

August 8, 20222 yr Exceptional scene! It ain't all cannons and maps and buried wooden chests; maybe the real treasure is the fun they had along the way. Outstanding interior architecture!
