The entire reason that I even wanted to get Kinect was this, for after watching them demo it on stage live at E3 I had full hope in what Kinect can do. I was not disappointed. From start to finish this game is a lot of fun to play and because of downloadable content I have a feeling it will have a long shelf life. Let me see if I can break it down to explain why this game is as amazing as it looks.

Menus: Menus are easily navigated and, because of a certain situation where my mother had friends over for the evening, even they were quickly able to pick up how to go through the menus. Its simple, hold your arm out to the right or left and make a slapping motion to select. This already made the game better. I played Kinect Adventures and I found the menus a little frustrating because you have to hold your hand there while it figures out that's what you want, but with Dance Central its just a quick swipe and you move on. Outside of that, all of the menus are very clear and easily navigated to find what you want, that hardest part of which was selecting songs (going up and down the list).

Gameplay: The no control experience is really shown off at its best here as you actually get a good workout moving your body to the beats. Yes, you will have to get off of the couch and start moving back and forth to the rhythms. Overall the Kinect cameras will do a wonderful job at figuring out your motions and, because the game was designed this way, you won't notice any lag. That's right, you dance in time with the person on screen (literally mirroring their actions) and then the game will take a moment (to which you won't notice because you are dancing) to decide how well you performed the action. In other words, don't worry about lag time because Harmonix has already factored that in perfectly, thus making gameplay smooth and easy to pick up on for even a beginner. Again, my mother's friends were very quick on picking up how to play the game.

Difficulty: This game ranges from anyone can do this easy (the first song) to ridiculously hard yet really cool looking moves (last song). It will give you a workout and it never tends to bore because of the variety of songs as well as dance moves. One thing that I also like about the game is that it forces you to start on easy and work your way up to hard. For a pro dancer (almost no one who will buy this game), that means you are forced to learn the different basic moves for the dance and then they get more complicated. That's right, the difficulty is actually used in this game to teach you the set-up for the next step. It works beautifully at getting you dancing to what was in the music videos.

Visuals: From start to finish this game is amazingly colorful and even the opening movie is rather fun to watch. On the other hand, none of the visuals block or distract the player from what is going on or seeing the next move. In fact, the set-up is so perfect that when you start getting your friends in there to dance along side you, it just feels natural for everyone. Now, I will also give this simple argument for visuals as well, because I am a fan of the hip-hop look the game sports (and thank God for that, Classical dancing would be so boring in a party game). If you don't like the hip-hop sort of streets style, then the visuals might not entertain you as much.

Overall: This game does what it says. It will teach you how to dance the moves from the music videos and it will go fairly smoothly along a learning curve as well. The use of the technology is impressive and it is probably the best party game out there since Guitar Hero became known as a party game (Honestly this one is better, because anyone can just start dancing and having a good time). It works great among all ages and all backgrounds since everything is done with visuals and because of the no-controller feel anyone can easily pick it up and start playing (though don't get me wrong, it is not easy to master).

I can't dance... no seriously, I can't. That said, I have a lot of friend who love to go to clubs and love dancing. So I figured what the heck, I will give it a try.

This game ROCKS! It is one of the funnest games I have ever played. Let me break it down for you.

PROS:
1) Anyone can play. The game teaches you the dance moves. Then it gives you some practice trys. Then you get to "Perform".
2) The game gives really good feedback. When you miss a move, it shows you which part of your body wasn't moving right by outlining it in red.
3) The tracks are pretty good. There is a lot of music you would hear at clubs today and some that you haven't heard for a while.
4) The sound and visuals are pretty cool. I thought I would get bored listening to track during practice, but you really don't because you are concentrating on what is happening on screen.
5) Watching your friends play this is AWESOME. If they are good dancers (particularly hip-hop) it is a great way for them to perform. If they are not good dancers... well it is fun to watch them pretend.

CONS:
1) You are going to need a lot of space. That should go without saying (this is a dance game).
2) Don't let your friends record you playing this game and then post it on youtube.

If you have a Kinect, you must buy this game.

I'm a short little white guy with virtually zero dancing ability, and up until now dance games have held no interest for me. I have watched my little nieces and nephews scream and jump about playing Just Dance on Wii, but honestly the less than accurate Wii controls and lack of tracking anything but hand movements made me view the whole thing as a huge gimmick. Last week, however, my wife found out about Kinect, and of course demanded I get her one.

This morning I picked one up along with Dance Central, and for a guy who plays "serious" games, I am truly knocked off my feet by the technology and fun. You can't cheat your way through this game, standing still and waving your arms in just the right motions like my little relatives do with the Wii games.The Kinect sensor actually reads your hands, feet, hips, arms, legs...everything. The Kinect even knew if the back of my palm was facing the camera or I was simply holding it sideways.

The sound is fantastic coming through 5.1 with the subwoofer cranked up, and the track listings should please just about everybody with songs and rountines covering hip hop to disco. Plus, the game has promised downloadable tracks, and seeing as how this was developed by Harmonix (Rockband, which has an astounding download library) I think it's safe to assume plenty of music is coming down the pipeline.

And for all of you other guys out there like me who just stand like trees swaying in the wind when you go with your wives/girlfriends dancing, each song has a fantastic tutorial for every single move. The game will walk you thorough each motion, slowing it way down if need be. After a little practice and several runs through Lada Gaga's Poker Face, I actually felt half way competent and actually scored four stars (out of five) on medium difficulty. For the first time in my life I actually felt like I could dance. Sure, I know I must look insane shaking about my media room, but that's besides the point.

Most of all, though, I had an outrageous amount of fun...this coming from a guy who wouldn't be caught dead dacing around to Lady Gaga. So yes, I did in fact close the blinds as I boogied down for an hour...but dang, what a tremendous amount of fun. I can't imagine a better way to show off the technology of Microsoft's new peripheral, you're guaranteed to work up a sweat, and what better way to get a solid workout than by having some honest to goodness fun? Highly recommended.

I think that if I had to name my favorite developers over consistency, fun and quality I would rank Harmonix at the top of my list. Over the last 10+ years they've consistently produced product after product that has not only pushed the boundaries of what is expected from them but evolved the music game genre as a whole. As a "hard-core" gamer they've surprised me title after title in their ability to capture my (typically short) attention-span and Dance Central is no different. It's the first and currently, only game that I own for the Kinect (I don't even have Kinect Adventures which typically ships with the device), and it has made me a firm Kinect believer.

The game's just fun... from the moment you boot it up. Even the menus are simple and fun to use - right hand selects menu choices, left hand takes you back a screen - though the game might actually benefit from slightly larger or spread out menu select buttons - and while you're systematically waving your hands you're already realizing that this feels something like the future. A few futuristic waves of your hands later you're ready to dance. 5 seconds into the first dance-breakdown, which is like dance practice before the performance, I was already smiling ear to ear... six seconds later I was giggling like a school girl.... and let me tell you... I'm a large man - not prone to giggling in this manner... and I didn't stop giggling for almost an hour... your results may vary. Dance Central is a very special sort of game... no let me take that back... Dance Central is a special sort of EXPERIENCE.... the sort of experience that feels silly and immature and may even be embarrassing at times, but not the kind of experience that you'll feel ashamed of... en' contrar ... you'll want to tell everyone you know about it... you'll want to throw parties focused around it... it's the rare sort of experience that may actually end up being as fun as it looks on TV. And it will stay with you... which is perhaps the scariest thing I've noticed about it so far... I'm still waiting for the moment when my brain over-rides my pride in a public place, let's say the bank, or jury duty, in favor of a quick dance move combo set to the tune of The Commodore's "Brick House" ...playing in my head... oh please don't let this happen.

That said, it's not without it's annoyances... as I mentioned before the select menu buttons would be easier to trigger properly if they were represented as slightly larger icons on the screen... but this is really just a minor annoyance... A more significant annoyance, at least for me...you're mileage and taste may vary...is that the song selection is somewhat lame... mostly a collection of songs you're more likely to here being played at a Bar-Mitzvah, Quinceniera, or sweet 16 then what you would find at todays clubs. In fact I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a song on the list that's still getting consistent play. Aside from the 2 songs from Lady Gaga and the one song from MIA, most of the rest of the song list seems to be composed of 70's and 80's hits, the Commodores, Bil Bev Devoe, Erik B and Rakim (Sweat the Technique... not my first choice but what can you do), Kool and the Gang... the list goes on and on. (perhaps your memories of these songs are better than mine?). In addition to the 70's/80's blowout:

5 electronica songs (mostly from the late 90's and early 2000's - including a Kylie Minogue song (which is arguably pop music)), "Satisfaction" by Benni Benassi (Which is maybe the most overplayed electronic song ever? You'll recognize it, trust me.), and "Days go by" by Dirty Vegas (Overplayed but at least it's good)...no BT? no Daft Punk, no Chemical Brothers, no Justice?... I mean come on guys, give me something... I thought it was a Harmonix tradition to at least include a Freezpop song?... a few hip hop songs (most of which I had always thought were best left forgotten), like Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like it's Hot" and Pitbull's "I know you want me"... I mean WTF!... no Kanye? or Jay-Z? no Dr Dre? and no Eminem? ... and no Rock and Roll...at all... in any form... unless you consider No Doubt's "Hella Good" in that category, in which case... well, there's no reasoning with some people.

and despite what some may consider a sizeable disappointment on the music end here the game is still fun... really fun... really, really fun. And I wouldn't worry about the track list just yet, DLC is on the way... already a Missy Elliot song and a Blur song (a rock song, yay!) in the dlc list after a cursory glance. This is a great game... a great launch title for the kinect and a great accomplishment for games in general.

Now that i said all these nice things about you Harmonix, where the hell is my Amplitude/Frequency sequel?

thanks for reading,

-Ben

I've played Dance Central for Kinect in Beta testing and can tell you that Kinect is great and this is my favorite game. Its so much fun!

Each song has its own choreographed dance, your job is to perform it correctly. You can start in easy mode and do the practice session where you learn a couple of moves at a time, then when you're done with that move on to performing the dance. Each dance can be done in easy, medium or hard with more moves being added as you try a harder level. The dances also get harder with each song, so if you start at the beginning of the list you do the easiest dance and they get harder from there.

The dancer moves as you move, if you do a move incorrectly the body part that you had in the wrong position will light up on the screen. It makes it easy to see what you're doing right and wrong.

I absolutely love that there is no controller. Theres nothing to hold in your hand or wear or anything like that. You even control the game options with your body, choosing options by hovering your hand over the button on the screen and even pausing by standing in a certain position. Kinect is great, I highly recommend it!

BACKGROUND ON ME: I'm a 29 year old female, married with two kids, 5 and 8. I wouldn't say I CAN dance but I like to.

Overall, the game is a lot of fun. I've played and enjoyed Just Dance 1 and 2 on the Wii but I like Dance Central better for a number of reasons.

SONG LIST: First, and I know this is a personal preference, but I love the song list on Dance Central. It is more hip hop than Just Dance but still very mainstream. There are tons of songs that I listened to as a kid or teenager as well as some newer ones I like, so I feel like it's a excellent mix of songs over the past few decades. In my family, there's something for everyone.

Here are the songs that come with the game:
* Audio Push - Teach Me How To Jerk
* Basement Jaxx - Rendez-vu
* Beastie Boys - Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim Remix)
* Beenie Man - King Of The Dancehall
* Bell Biv DeVoe - Poison
* Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
* Cascada - Evacuate the Dancefloor
* Christina Milian - Dip It Low
* The Commodores - Brick House
* Craig Mack - Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)
* Dirty Vegas - Days Go By
* Eric B. & Rakim - Don't Sweat the Technique
* Fannypack - Hey Mami
* Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne - Down
* Kool & The Gang - Jungle Boogie
* Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head
* Lady Gaga - Just Dance
* Lady Gaga - Poker Face
* Lipps Inc - Funky Town
* M.I.A. - Galang '05
* Nelly Furtado - Maneater
* Nina Sky - Move Ya Body
* No Doubt - Hella Good
* Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)
* Quad City DJ's - C'mon N' Ride It (TheTrain)
* Rihanna - Pon de Replay
* Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
* Snoop Dogg/Pharrell - Drop It Like It's Hot
* Soulja Boy Tell 'Em - Crank That (Soulja Boy)
* Wreckx-n-Effect - Rump Shaker
* Young MC - Bust A Move

DANCING: The moves are real dance moves with some talented choreographers behind the scenes. It never feels cheesy where as Just Dance sometimes does. Now I will say Just Dance seems to be easier for the kids to pick up the moves on, but I much prefer the actual dancing. I'm certainly no fantastic dancer but the game has a fairly quick learning curve. Once you've played a handful of songs, you get the hang of it and can score pretty high on the Easy songs. It's a nice confidence booster, keeps it fun and does really make you feel like you can dance. Medium ups the challenge perfectly, adding in more moves and combos. Easy feels like your just dancing where Hard feels like an actual music video routine. The progression is just right. The game is very responsive. I've never felt like it didn't recognize a correct move.

There is a tutorial mode (Break It Down) but we never use it. We think it's more fun to just throw yourself into the performance and see how you make out. But it's nice to know it's there in case it's needed on the more difficult choreography.

SOCIAL ASPECT: This is a fantastic party game. Fun to watch and easy for anyone to jump right in. We usually play with "backup dancers" so nobody feels self-conscious about performing in front of everyone by themselves. Guys and girls alike have a good time with it. We cheer and crack up for hours.

WORKOUT MODE: If you're not looking for a workout, then you'll get off the couch and burn a few calories. If you are looking for one, then the Workout Mode leaves much to be desired. I want to use this game as a supplement to my exercise routine on lighter intensity days but the only thing Workout Mode offers is a time and calorie counter. The biggest issue is that you must go back to the menu and select a new song after each one ends. That, along with waiting for your score to add up and intros on every song, means lots of down time between actual dancing which brings your heart rate down and hardly provides an effective workout. I get around this by doing jumping jacks or running in place in between but you still have to stop to navigate the menu. An easy fix to this in the next edition is to be able to create a song setlist for back-to-back dancing. Also, in Just Dance for Wii, the songs are noticeably longer. In Dance Central, the shortened versions are just right for casual play but an option for a longer version or full song wouldn't be bad.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS: While it's perfect in a social setting, playing by yourself can become somewhat monotonous after you've run through the song list a few times. The lack of worthy solo play makes this great game lose a star. Adding some sort of Career Mode would help make it more entertaining. Again, some adjustments to the Workout Mode would also increase its replay value. And with all the great character customization we've grown used to in Rock Band, I would have hoped Harmonix would have brought a little of that over to Dance Central. Unfortunately there are no face/hair/body customizations and you can only unlock one extra outfit for each dancer. A limited amount of additional clothing is available for purchase in the online store. I personally would not pay real money for this and would like to see more options come with the game.

Another feature is the Freestyle. The game takes a video of you during the Freestyle and plays it back. Note you can turn this feature off if you want but it would be nice if the camera could also shoot you while you are actually doing the routine, then you can see how you look doing it.

BOTTOM LINE: The few issues don't take much away from the whole experience. The game is still a blast and worth the purchase even if only as a party game. The choreography can be more difficult for the smallest children but older kids to adults should have no problems. I expect Dance Central to follow in line with Rock Band: improving with each new release, and downloadable content ever expanding your song list. Harmonix has another winner.

I'll try to cover some things in this review that other reviewers haven't so far.

Similar to how the Wii Fit sold a ton of Wiis and Halo sold a lot of XBoxes, I believe this game will be the killer game for the Kinect.

GIRLS OR GUYS? I would confidently say both. While some dances, like a couple of the Rihanna songs, have very "girly" moves, other dances like Soulja Boy's Crank That have more "guy" type moves. As a guy though, I can say both are a lot of fun. (Yes, it teaches you how to "Crank That" and do a "Superman" :) )

IS IT FUN? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE! Yeah, don't worry. First, the thing teaches you how do the moves (you can put each song into a "break-it-down" mode where it teaches you all the steps. You can also have it teach you the moves you're having trouble with in slow motion. It's really helpful in correcting you as well, as it highlights the body part you're getting wrong). Second, the weird thing about this game is that you have fun even when you're not doing so well. From the moment you start learning the moves to when you actually do the whole dance in Expert mode, the whole experience is just ridiculously fun.

MUSIC: Many of the tracks that comes with Dance Central are songs you've heard on the radio over the past couple of years (Rihanna, Soulja Boy, Jay Sean, Pitbull, Lady Gaga...), while other tracks are songs that were popular 5-10 years ago (Cascada, Kyle Minogue, Young MC, M.I.A, etc.). They're all billboard top 20 songs from the past decade though: all really catchy, even if you haven't heard a few before. A total of 32 tracks, arranged by difficulty, are included. You can download more for $, but I think the original 32 should be sufficient for a while.

This game is a great example of a game executed with finesse from start to finish. Little things, such as how it starts giving you extra tips on a move you stumble on, start to count. The menu interface is aesthetically pleasing, fluid to control, and controller-free of course. You can pick your stage "venue" and "character" (sort of like Rockband), and the graphics are really good.

If you're thinking of buying one game for the Kinect (aside from Adventures that comes with it, of course), get this one. (The exception would be if you're buying Kinect for an 8 year old/pre-teen audience, in which case I'd go with Kinectimals.)

GREAT FOR PARTIES (Updated 11/8/2010): I had about 20 people over at my house for a BBQ Friday night. Let's just say that I briefly turned on the Kinect to show my new toy, and the whole evening turned out to be about Dance Central. One of my friends commented on how the place might as well be featured in a Microsoft ad, and surely enough, I turn to see one person dancing to the Kinect, while another four people stood at the side also trying to imitate the dance moves, and a few others were simply watching or singing along. I had people over from 8 pm to 3 in the morning dancing to this thing!

So you think you can dance, huh? Well, the game will definitely put you to the test. My wife and I have two boys, one 15 and the other 9. The 15 year old thought he knew how to 'Crank Dat' and do 'The Jerk' but realizes that he needs to put some work behind it. He also says that he is going to practice some moves with this game for the next school dance...how funny. Next, my wife and I were having problems keeping up with some 70's and 80's dance move, even on the EASY level.

This game is really good and responds very well with the Kinect. It will notice if your right arm is folded below the left arm when it shouldn't be. The only thing I wish it could do was use my XBOX 360 avatar for the dances and not the built-in characters. But, I guess you have to give up that to get the smooth flowing action that it has.

I am an inactive, 33 year old, overweight American. I prefer watching tv to jogging, pasta to salads, and driving to walking, and I have a list of excuses a mile long as to why I don't exercise. I've tried it all, the turbo-jams, the pilates, the Zumba, and I even bought one of those Dance Dance Revolutions mats (horrible on carpets, even with non-slip pads) and they all collected dust after a week....until Dance Central. This year, in desperation I joined Weight Watchers and after 5 weeks of watching every morsel going into my mouth I've lost 2 pounds....sad, demoralizing, and yet somehow inspirational.

Despite being an obese white-chick I like to think I have rhythm, a little soul, a little shake to my groove thing. I don't. Really...I can sway my hips and shuffle my feet, but I have no concept of any dance move that happened after the Running Man. Yet, when I saw the commercials for Dance Central and saw those cute little teens bopping about I was inspired. I imagined myself dancing around in cute little outfits, and finally getting to a club and have moves I wasn't ashamed of. So I bought a Kinect, some games, and specifically Dance Central.

I'm in LOVE! I began over a week ago, sneaking the disc in and making immediately for the first routine, and Lady Gaga's Poker Face. I took it easy, selected easy levels, and within minutes I was moving and grooving. Even better, I was sweating! I practiced, I performed, I even battled against myself (sad, but true, I kicked my own butt). Then I moved on to the next song, and repeated the process. Before I realized it I had spent an HOUR shaking my sad little groove thing, laughing, and groaning as the camera on the Kinect took pictures of me dancing and displayed it for me in full horrific form (a motivator for weight loss if ever I saw it).

I had a blast! I spent an hour dancing and sweating! And I thought about it every day until I could get home and do it all over again! I even downloaded the four songs I had been working with (I've moved to MEDIUM!) and listen to them on the way to work, imagining myself dancing to it. Sure, I have aches where I didn't know it was possible (my elbows? really?) and my neighbors are probably sick of hearing Hey Mami and Evacuate the Dance Floor, but I'm having a blast. Me. Sloth-incarnate.

Is it sustainable exercise? Oh yes. Will it grow with me as I (hopefully) shrink? Why yes, as you move up in your abilities you have more music and dance routines to choose from. If you get far enough you can even download new songs and routines from Harmonix if you choose.

I can't say enough about Dance Central. Easy to control (without controllers either), easy to navigate, a blast to do, and incredibly addicting! I'm even thinking about inviting friends over to play....can you say Dance oFF!? Electric Boogaloo watch out!

2 more hours of work before I can go home and DANCE!

I think every Kinect owner should have this program. It doesn't matter if you dance or not, you just have to get it.

Why? Because somewhere deep inside of you, whether you understand it or not, there is part of you that wonders what it would be like to move like those sassy people you've seen on tv and in the clubs. Whether you have been jealously watching dancers for years, or sat in judgement of them for some reason or another. Now is your time.

*So you think you can dance*
In the privacy of your home, you can let your inner Deney Terrio or JabbaWockeeZ come out. Just for one little step, arm movement, or for a whole evening of dancing. And you LEARN how to dance.

This is to dancing what Karaoke was to singing, but better (which reminds me, *that* review on Dance Masters DanceMasters needs to be written...)

*Overall*
Music is great, recognizable, multi-generational.

Dance moves are simple or complex, depending on your choosing.

Avatar outfits are fun, insane (please unlock "Dare's" crazy arm warmers when you get a chance), yet not feeling like you're looking at something you shouldn't. It's not as risque as some other games.

*Scoring*
Game design is good for newbies or seasoned dancers. If you have two left feet, the easy levels will give you some decent sense of achievement. The "Break it down" mode will really give you opportunity to learn how to do it right, and I know, I've seen, people who have done these routines, start doing them in the grocery store when the music came on. People that their only form of dancing was probably swaying back and forth like hugging a tree if they were lost in the woods. Now their fun factor is up.

If you do a half-decent job, you get feedback with the color rings around your "feet," you see the point meter go up, the multiplier increase and the star count go up. Each one of these act as motivators regardless of your level of dancing prowess. But as you get better, you really can push your flare and accuracy and get higher and higher points. The gameplay works well, more than "one-and-done."

*Crowd pleaser*
It's fun to watch. So far, we've never had less than a fantastic time when in a group, with people cheering others on and gently correcting people. True, you get the know-it-all (who may not dance that well themselves) acting like stage-moms and telling others what they're doing wrong, but you don't care, you're lost in the beat and groove with your overly-cocky avatar speaking your attitude for you.

I originally thought that since it was (basically) a one-at-a-time player game (even in battle mode), that those not playing would be bored, but it's gotten a good response. Sometimes people jump up and do the dance to the side themselves, and it even allows people to sit and talk while you do your thing (which is harder to do if you're doing karaoke-because you're expected to sit in awe of the "awesome" singing performance).

*Addictive*
I thought Kinect Sports Kinect Sports was going to be the big go-to game, but many people are breaking this one out quickly, and staying with it. With the XBox live component, I'm competing with my friends when they're asleep, trying to outdo their scores, sometimes in amazement that I didn't recognize they had any dance moves in them.

*DLC*
The downloadable content/songs have been good so far, and I could see myself nickle-and-diming (they're not that expensive) myself into a bad addiction..


*Things we've noticed:*
-Boys/men are more into this program than we expected. Very surprising. And decent dancers

-At a party, often fun just to throw it into performance mode without the lesson-oriented "break it down" mode. Just kinda fun to see people trying to work it out on the fly, plus"break it down" can take a while, especially if you get a perfectionist/performance oriented person trying to get it just right. That being said, there have been parties when they've stayed in "break it down," switching out people just so everyone can learn the moves.

-this is a fun game, by yourself, or with others and at parties.

-sometimes we just stand and let the first demo of break it down go through so we don't accidentally do it "correctly" and miss out on our practice sections.

-I have learned that people that don't regularly dance make very large sweeping movements.

*Good Good Good*
There are a ton of upsides, that most of the other reviews have mentioned. I agree.

*Now here are some caveats/wish lists:*
-Wish I could XBoxLive Dance battle with someone. If that were possible. I'd love to take the dance battle experience and have it transcend physical location

-wasn't quite clear (at first) how to slow it down in break it down mode (get ready to swipe/select that top left hand corner)

-people over 35 should stretch out a little bit before this

-you might think you're doing the right move, but we've found out that the game is often correct. We've had people (okay, me) adamant that they were doing the right move, only to realize they had their arm in the wrong position (I went so far in my accusation to recalibrate the kinect sensor).

-those dance moves you've seen people do on tv? they're harder than you think. (But you'll learn how to do them)

-I'm sadly very comfortable with the disco-era moves.

-The people that have the most fun with this are the ones that loosen up and have fun with it. Not the ones trying to get the most perfect move.


*Bottom Line*
Get it. Seriously, just get it.

Even if you don't dance, your friends or family will, or will want to try it out. But it's more group-fun than a ping pong table or pool table
