Dance Central Fact Sheet
Short Version: Dance yourself silly to songs by many top rate artists and Lady Gaga. Only this time, instead of trying to hit the right floorpad in Dance Dance Revolution, you have to actually perform the moves. Whether this will improve the standard of wedding parties in the late evenings or not is hard to tell.
