hi, im new to the group...do we do the three songs everyday? do we post our scores? how does the challenge work? hope your dad is better!

Thank you!!

Here is a run down of the challenge:

It's easy:

#1-We are given three specific songs to work on for the week. (ex-Dancin', Sweat, and Excited)

#2-We dance them, then post our scores for each song each time we do them. (ex Dancin-5548, Sweat-6487, Excited-3251)

#3-We start on Thursday and end on Thursday. (Sometimes new songs aren't posted until Friday AM cause we live all over the world) :happy:

#4-From now on, 2 people will choose the songs that we do: The person with the highest scores for the week will choose two, and the person that has improved the MOST with their scores will pick one.

#5-If there is a tie for the top numbers, we will look at all of the scores for the week of these people.

#6-If someone wins back to back, they are not eligible to win a third time in a row. They must wait a week to win again. This gives everyone a chance to shine! :flowerforyou:

#7-Have a great time doing this!!!

Such a noob question, but how does the whole sweat section actually work? This is my first time playing Just Dance and I am so confused lol, it's interface is completely different to Dance Central

I've got my song scores but I am confused about the whole sweat part, raagahagahaa. Sorry to bother you all with it!

Not a bother at all. I can tell you how if works for me, but I use a Wii. If you have a different console, maybe another member can help you. This is how my JD3 works with my Wii:

At the beginning screen (main menu): You have Dance, Sweat, Store, and Options.

If you choose Dance, it will go to the song list and you can scroll along to choose one. (I think there are 45 songs) When you perform the song it will give you points on how well you did the movements. This is your "Score". You also get little side comments like "Lazy" or "In Rhythm" lol

If you choose Sweat at the main menu, you see the next screen says "Free Session" and "7 Day Challenge". The free session is for 4 players. I don't know anything about this because I haven't done it yet. The "7 Day Challenge" is just what it says. 7 Days for you to rack up sweat points that are equal to other activities. Such as, the first challenge is the "Fresh Start". This challenges you to get 3500 sweat points in a week, 500 for the day and this is equal to walking for 30 mins a day! The next challenge is a step up. It's called the "Healthy Choice". This is 7000 sweat points for the week/1000 per day. This is equal to running 30 mins a day. The highest challenge is the "Sweat Explosion". This is 21,000 sweat points for the week! 3000 a day and equal to swimming for 30 mins. Choosing one of these challenges will automatically put the counter on your progress bar (where you get the stars top left of screen) The icon is a sweat drop and the points will add up! Side note: The first song you do will say (for instance) 300 sweat points. Then your next song might say 600 sweat points. That is, unfortunately, not indicating that you were totally awesome and sweating up a storm! That means you got another 300. And they are adding each of your song's sweat points together to get your whole day tally. So, as you do more songs, your points will be added together for every song. So you can see your progress!!

If you choose Store, that will take you to the Wii Store of JD3 and you can purchase extra songs for 250 Wii points each. There are only 4 extra songs at the moment. I hear there are more to come.

If you choose Extras, You will see Options, Medals, Archives, and Credits. If you choose Options you will get 4 choices to turn on or off (checkmark means ON): Display Lyrics, Display Pictograms(the little people in the right lower corner that show you the next dance move), Display help screens, and Usage Tracking (I have yet to find where this is tracked, can someone help me here?). If you choose Medals it will take you to the medal page where they are tracked. There are 16 different ones and each medal has 3 goals Such as: Get 1 star in every song, Get 3 stars in every song, Get 5 stars in every song: then you win the medal. If you choose Archives, well I don't know what will happen for you. I get an empty screen that says "wii memory left" and a number. And Credits list who made the game

Ok 2 last things then I swear I'll wrap it up: There is an option on the top right side of your screen and the top left side. The top left has a musical note. Choosing this will give you access to premade playlists of several genres: Pop. Rock, All 80s, etc. Top right has a giftbox and these are the "gifts" that you earn by getting stars performing the songs. Every star you get counts. There is a "countdown" page that will tell you how many stars you need to get a gift. They start out small like you need 5 stars, then 10, etc. When you hit the number that you need you get "gifts" like Mash-ups. These take a specific song and add dance moves from other songs. So if you get tired of the regular moves in that particular song, you can do the mash-up and mix it up a little.

I won't quote you because it is quite long lol, but THANK YOU! :flowerforyou:

Here are my scores
Venus: 10,151
California Gurls: 9,969
Pump It: 10,098
Sweat points: 3126

I actually found Pump It to be the easiest one? For some reason I can't break 10k on California Gurls lol.

WOW! That is amazing! In all these months I can't break 5000 on Pump It. It is the hardest one for me!

I couldn't figure out how to chose my own songs in the sweat section, so I don't have sweat points for all 8 songs that I did today...however, I did 30 mins total, and am definitely sweating!

Teri, did you see my reply to another question about the sweat points? You have to set a challenge for yourself, then it will always monitor your points! And, best of all, you get to choose your own songs!

I have never done these songs! I am on it though! when do you post your scores?

Lexie, we post them every time we dance. If you can only workout once this week, that is great, just post your scores. If you can workout more, awesome! Show us those scores! Doesn't matter how many times. I try to dance everyday, even if it is just the 3 songs that we are doing. That way, at least I can see myself improve my scores over the weeks. I was really struggling when I first started the challenge. My scores were very low comparatively and I felt bad. But now I know that no matter what score I get I am doing my best, I am working hard, and sweating a LOT! We all are! And, the most improved scores for the week get to chose one of the next songs!

Awesome job Jenuhfur and Godricshallow on posting!!

Welcome Liliana! Its a lot of fun!!

If anyone has anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask!
