    Someone want to tell me about Just Dance... I bought it for the Wii its sitting there, unused... what is it ... will I like it... do you burn lots of calories doing it?
  • Baby Girl is my favorite on the entire game but I highly doubt I'll be able to beat my own high score of 12254...I'm sure going to try though! I only missed Perfect 5 or 6 times (my daughter was keeping track) and I've been trying to get perfects the entire time, but that's probably a bit unrealistic. We played for hours yesterday with my family and this ended up being my nephew's favorite song, so we did this a million times! LOL!

    I do like all three of this week's songs - YAY!

    Well why did you buy it if you don't know much about it silly?! How would we know if you'll like it? YOu select the song you want, and mimick their moves as best as possible. Eveveryone is different on calorie burning. Many just select general dancing for their burns, others have heart rate monitors. Open it up and give it a try, and if you don't like it, then either try to return it or sell it on ebay, the game goes quick! Good luck!


    *sorry, didn't mean to sound rude if I did! Was trying to be funny. :ohwell:

    Haha not rude at all, definately funny! I like your style... your right, I should just put it in and try it. I was a big fan of DDR and I was pretty decent at it too and it was a great cardio workout... maybe I will plan on trying it on Tuesday

    I have a HRM and personally burn about 520 calories in an hour. The days my daughter has been up all night and I can't face the treadmill I'll turn it on an the time goes by so fast!

    Can't wait to give these a shot...I am really finding this challenge is helping me try songs I would normally pass up. But I am finding I like A LOT of them!!! Baby Girl is one of my favorites that I do all the time just for the workout...but I don't think I can come close to cracking 12K on it. I am somewhere in the 11K range though!

    May have some time to try this evening...but may to be tomorrow! Happy Dancing everyone!

    I only have the chance to do the Wii Just Dance on Sundays when my little sister has gone to church. :) Otherwise, she's usually on it. LOL

    I try to squeeze in some exercise on it when I have a chance. But, that's not very often.

    Well. either chuck her off or challenge her!!!!!! Get her in on these high scores!!!

    If you are anything like me, I love to challenge my family. My 2 teens have to be dragged kicking and screaming to play with me because I usually beat them!!!! It's the only game on the Wii I can beat them at!!

    Hello,

    I've been following this thread for a few weeks (bumping) but never posted my scores as they are so much lower - usually in the 6 thousand something - than the highest. This week I'd like to join you and at least as you say - try to beat my own scores. I'll post the actual numbers after I dance tonight.

    That's awesome - beating your own high scores is what it's all about at the end of the day! I'm going to try to beat mine in a little while :)

    OK here are my scores for tonight

    Hey Ya! = 8501 - Beat my old score :happy:
    Mugsey Balone = 6173
    Baby Girl = 6252

    It was a great work out as usual. I do 2 of each of the above back to back - then end with the shuffle thing - not sure what it's called but it lets you pick 5 different types of dances.

    Ok ladies I am proud to tell you that I finally tried the game (after day 1 of P90X tonight) and I LOVE it.

    I did

    Its Raining Men
    Tik Tok
    When I grow up
    Toxic...

    Loved the first two - Tik Tok was my fav ... thought WIGU was boring... and got so annoyed with Toxic that I turned it off!

    Someone please tell me you were this bad when you first started! :)

    I was worse than bad, I was pants!!!! Although, I did manage to beat my daughter's during our first days playing. My girlies then didn't want to play because I could beat them!!!

    Just keep dancing, you will get better! Try the 3 I've posted and let us know how you do!

    Hi everyone!
    I just bought Dance 2 and tried it last night. It kicked my butt and I love it.
    I don't have any score to give because I didn't keep score. First time doing it was
    last night. Can I join this group. When do you track your scores. Can someone
    let me in on the details. :tongue:

    Yep, I was. I was bad because I couldn't figure out the move at first and just laughed at myself. Then brought my brothers and cousins over (oldest is 14 youngest is 3) and we all had a blast, mostly laughing at ourselves! Now, when I hear certain songs outside of the game, I start doing the moves..which aren't the greatest form, but in my head they are! I've caught myself dancing at Walmart when Jump in the Line came across the speakers...lol

    High scores today...

    Hey Ya: 10987 (beat my old high score)
    Mugsy Balone: 10905 (a few points off my old high score)
    Baby Girl: 11909 - quite a bit off my old high score

    When I Grow Up is one of my least favorites, too. I'm pretty sure I've only done it twice and the only reason I did it a second time was to get a better score! I would think a *****cat Dolls song would have more actual dancing in it!

    I've definitely improved after having played the game a few times, but as a dancer myself, I started out pretty high (I should hope so). There are still some songs that I just can't master - Satisfaction is one that I just cannot get (talked about it during last week's challenge since that was one of the songs last week). Monster Mash completely hates me, too! My son loves that one (he's three) so I do it only to appease him! The most important thing is that you are having fun and getting a good workout in the process! I am competitive, so I am always trying to beat my own high scores, but really, I love playing the game because I love to dance!

    Oh, and I've started P90X as well. Plyo is tiring, but I love it. The strength training ones are the ones that kill me! Good luck with P90X! :)

    I didn't have class today so I was able to sneak in some Just Dance 2.
    Amazingly, I beat my high scores which I'm proud of.

    Hey Ya! - 9434
    Mugsy Balone - 9756
    Baby Girl - 9482

    I'm nowhere close to beating yours but, this is fun anyways!

    I try but she refuses. I do play Kinect with my nephews though and they have Dance Central. But, boys are up for a challenge more than girls are. I think it's cause girls are afraid of getting beat. I'm going to try to get her in on it again and I'll keep trying til she gives in, LOL
