Dance Central 3’s newly revealed Story mode sends players back in time to learn classic dance moves alongside their favorite crews and characters from the series. Played solo or cooperatively with a friend, players will join the ranks of Dance Central Intelligence (DCI) to uncover a dastardly plot to destroy Dance Central. To put a stop to the villainous machinations of Dr. Tan, players must journey through time to learn iconic dance moves from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond. Can DCI master classic crazes like The Hustle, The Electric Slide and more in time to prevent the ultimate dance criminal from ending the dance party permanently?
Dance Central 3’s Story mode is a full-featured campaign experience that combines the award-winning controller-free dance experience seen in previous iterations of Dance Central with new game mechanics that’ll surprise and challenge even most experienced dancers! Unlock power moves, decode crazes from across the eras, and travel through time to save the world…all while interacting with the great personalities and unparalleled choreography that define the Dance Central experience.
Today, Harmonix also revealed that dance crew Riptide’s Bodie and Emilia have been drafted by Dance Central Intelligence to take down Dr. Tan and his army! Dispatched to the 2000s, Bodie and Emilia have been secretly studying the moves of that decade, all while rising to fame on the flashy set of the popular dance and music program, “Dance Central Live”! New in-game images of Riptide and their 2000s venue “Dance Central Live” can be found at http://www.dancecentral.com/press.
