The one with Dance

It has been an incredibly busy week; I was hoping for something which was fun & would help me to unwind, & I found just that!! My cousins got Just Dance 2 on Wii for Christmas, & convinced me to try it with them after work. This is more fun than I can possibly begin to relay. I'll be the first to admit I have NO rhythm; however, that certainly won't stop me from getting into it! Though I was able to get very high scores -- several High Scores if we're going to be honest -- it was much more entertaining in a comic way than it was an inspired form of "dance". Between the cardiac activity, laughter, & sincere unadulterated fun, it can't be beat!

The music is all feel-good as well! Just Dance has a great mix from Techno "Satisfaction" straight from the clubs of Prague, to the soul-shaking Tina Turner's "Proud Mary". Then you can get into the 90's with Fatboy Slim's "Rockafeller Skank" or even try an Indian dance which reminds me of a wild video entitled "Really Crazy Indian Music Dance Video - Kallorri Vaanil" which makes me laugh uncontrollably EVERY time!

The songs continue with great dance moves to go with each such as follows: "Hey Ya" by Outkast, The Beastie Boys "Body Movin'", & a great African themed one which may be my fav!

I could probably win AFV (America's Funnies Home Videos - for those not brought up in the late 80's - 90's) with how ridiculous my moves look, especially when rocking leggings, a sports bra, & a white-neck-cut-out-off-the-shoulder T, but what matters is it gets you moving, is an adrenaline rush of fun, & allows bonding time with friends or family!
