What is the most amount of flourishes you have been able to get in a dance?
I believe you will get 8 hearts around the big one before they repeat. If so, then the best I have done is 11 flourishes in a row. |

The most I ever got was around 12 to 13 flourishes in a row.
I'm not a very good dancer. I'm one of those people that gets the rhythm down without ever realizing it and get a long string of flourishes going, and then I do realize what's going on, and that's when I make a mistake. |

I'm the same way Cussler. It's humorous, you think to yourself "whoa, look how good I am doing!" and then you screw up. |

I usually miss the flourish on the first move of each sequence. Once I know what is coming - and when I have the Calfskin Boots - I typically get a flourish on about every other move. Occasionally, with the right piece of music and a kind partner, I find the rhythm. I've filled two circles of hearts but not much more.
I think my keypad is part of my problem. On my brother's computer I can get long sequences of flourishes much more easily. But on his computer I always stumble on the final move when the music slows down - which is my best move on my own computer. |

My personal record so far is 8... well, I never was any good at dancing and I think that the lost city maps would better come from Mendoza, and the diamond necklaces. |

I've had 20-24 flourishes before, with the 3/4 time tunes (not the 4/4 ones- yet!)...it's a most satisfying feeling- or relief-to be on that kind of roll, when everything goes right.
I've got rhythm, I've got music, I've got my girl, who could ask for anything more? _________________ Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves;

The most I've ever had was 13 and then I fumbled and screwed the whole dance over. _________________ Vive Le Liberte! |

I've done better than this, a time or two, but this is the best I've captured in a Screen Shot:
That is a total of 25 in a row.
