Dancing

I've walked and walked and walked with Walk it Out.  I wish they'd come out with a new version or that somebody else would create a knock off.   I'm tired of the same old thing.  I've read so many posts that say the same thing.  Fans of Walk it Out are very supportive of a new version.

So I've tried some of my dancing games.  Dancing on Broadway is still fun, but I don't want to do it for 30 - 60 minutes.  I'm sure if I did it more I'd get better at the dances, but even though it's hilarious and is very lenient in scoring (picking up motions where I go that away when the dancers go this away) it makes me feel very uncoordinated.  I mean even more uncoordinated than I actually am.

The last 2 workout days I used Dancing with The Stars and it's fun but there's a lot you have to skip, like the judging because once you've heard it a few times, you've heard enough.  And it's frustrating some times because it has difficulty picking up a few of the gestures especially the mashed potato and bang the door.  I can't tell what I'm doing wrong because I can't see that I'm doing anything different when it reads it than when the Wii doesn't read it.  I have learned to do the up motion which is more of a gentle flick than the down, left, or right movements.

What a hoot!

I bought Dancing on Broadway this weekend.  What a hoot!  I crack myself up trying to do the dances.  I can't wait to get a group of "girls" together to see how funny other people look.

Pros:

1. The game is easy enough that I can almost keep step with the dancers.  At least on the easy routines.
2. It's good exercise (for an old lady) because I'm always going in the wrong direction and moving double time trying to get in sync.   Which seems contrary to # 1, but I get "great" a lot even when I'm not so maybe I'm doing better than I think I am.
3. Up to 4 people can play together.  They don't follow the same routine.
4. The dance routines are rated by difficulty and effort.

Cons:

1. Only 20 songs and routines
2. The little stick figures that are supposed to tell you what move is next aren't all that helpful.
