Just Dance: Great video game to get people of all ages up and dancing
Great video game to get people of all ages up and dancing. This was designed more as a video game than as an educational/fitness resource so kids are less likely to be averse to it I would think. That being said, it doesn't offer a complete workout and parents should not rely on this as the main form of physical activity in their child's schedule but more of an add-on. Named after Lady Gaga's song! You must have the app downloaded on a mobile device that can serve as a controller as well as a large screen that can serve as the display and camera for the dance moves. Great for friends and family to enjoy with one another Would not consider this to be an educational resource. Meant for kids to enjoy themselves but very unlikely to offer any major takeaways. If your kids are really interested in dance, I would suggest other resources.
