Dance into the Holidays with The Balancing Act-- as they Welcome DanceDanceRevolution®!

It’s a workout, it’s a video game, it makes your feet move in directions you wouldn’t think possible!  It’s DanceDanceRevolution® Hottest Party 3 for your Wii™!  With the holidays quickly approaching, The Balancing Act went on a search to find one of the most innovative video games on the market— the search ended when they found Konami Digital Entertainment Inc, creators of the hit dance game DanceDanceRevolution!  Grab your dance shoes and join The Balancing Act as they showcase DanceDanceRevolution’s latest game on their new show, which will air December 4th at 7:30am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television.

 

Konami Digital Entertainment’s Senior Brand Manager, Lauren Faccidomo helps kick off the show by telling us about DanceDanceRevolution. Is it a workout?  Or is it just a fun game? Lauren says, “DanceDanceRevolution is the rhythm and dance video game that combines fun with fitness.” She adds, “DanceDanceRevolution has been making families and friends step to the beat for a decade, and with millions of players worldwide, DanceDanceRevolution continues to be THE best dancing game on the market…and the workout is the added bonus!”

 

Well, I guess that answers that!  It’s fun AND it’s a workout all in one!  It’s like sneaking in a fitness session with your kids—but they’re having so much fun they don’t even realize it!  Genius!  DanceDanceRevolution is something the whole family can enjoy together.

 

This year, Konami released DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 3, which takes the game to a whole new level.  Lauren adds, “One of my favorite features of this new version is the compatibility with the Wii Balance Board! We wanted to develop something specifically for the ladies and by incorporating the balance board-- whereas you use your hips rather than your feet on the DanceDanceRevolution mat controller!”

 

With the hippest music from the Black Eyed Peas to Coldplay-- there’s something for everyone in the family to “get down and get funky” too!

 

DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 3 is a sure fire way to get your kids off the computer and into the coolest form of working out they’ll never know!
