It has become the world’s most powerful weapon, capable of incredible good as well as incredible evil. Just imagine what would happen this technology fell into the wrong hands.

It’s time to put Dance Magic to the test! A powerful dancer plans to use Dance Magic to take over the planet. People will die and the power of dance will be used to destroy, not to heal. Now you and your friends can take part in the most important dance-off’to save the planet and the human race!

To save the world, an entire arsenal is at your service. The game comes with more than 20 musical tracks, plus you can purchase new songs for your personal track-list from the PlayStation Store. Dance Magic has seven diverse dance styles, characters whose accessories provide special abilities during dancing duels, and various playing modes including a campaign mode. And PlayStation Move support provides an even more genuine dancing experience.
