B-Dancing with the Kinect Lina Alaoui Mar 2011

Dance Central Steep learning curve Demands accurate moves from the player Good Break it Down tutorial mode Hip-Hop vibe Avatar mimics dancer’s moves

Dance Paradise Dance is more technical Takes a bit of getting used to the “lanes” system Includes the original music videos to each song Cartoonish feel with Avatar

Dance Masters Places a video image of the player on the screen so they can see themselves in real time Moves are fast and frantic Tutorial is not as in depth – or song specific – as Dance Central A lot of footwork involved in each dance Scantily clothed dancers A grown-up club feel to it

We present Dance International Featuring Oriental “Belly” Dancing Focus on Dance central and Dance Masters features – Seeing yourself on TV is like dancing in front of mirror Evaluate possibility to teach belly dancing on the Kinect
