| | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Dance Dance Revolution Solo - Gameplay details The core gameplay of Dance Dance Revolution is retained in DDR Solo: a player steps on plexiglas arrows to the general rhythm or beat of a song, following the arrows displayed on the game's monitor. A judgment is displayed for each step, depending on the player's timing: "PERFECT", "GREAT", "GOOD", "BOO" or "MISS". These judgments affect the player's score and determine whether he or she will be able to continue playing.
Unlike standard Dance Dance Revolution machines, DDR Solo only has one dance pad. This ...

| | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - History of dance - Pre-history of dance Throughout history, people have danced as part of religious rituals and social celebrations. It is traceable through many prehistoric documents. Court dancing has existed perhaps as long as there have been kings and queens. A brief outline might include folk, social, ballroom, religious, and experimental dance forms. One major branch of dance is Theatrical Dance as it has evolved in the Western World. However the dance that we can recognize and know now is ballet, which first evolved ...

| | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Belly dance - Male belly dancing There is much debate over where and when men became part of the belly dance world. Many believe that men have no place in this art form, which is frequently and erroneously mistaken to be historically female. However, dancers such as Carolina Varga-Dinicu, Tariq Sultan, and Jasmin Jahal have produced ample evidence to the contrary, with male eunuchs guarding the Ottoman Sultan's harem's often being dressed up to danc ...

Dance Dance Revolution ULTRAMIX 3 - Game Mode.
This is the main mode of DDR Ultramix 3. It plays similarly to the version in the arcade, where a song is picked at a certain difficulty (beginner, light, standard, heavy) and is played through. If you run out of health before the song is completed, the song ends and you fail it. After the song, you get a rating depending on how well you did (AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E). Game Mode may also be played with two pads instead of one, but it requires more skill and is not reco ...

| | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Dance Dance Revolution - Gameplay details In Dance Dance Revolution, a player must move his or her feet to a set pattern, stepping in time to the general rhythm or beat of a song. During normal gameplay, arrows scroll upwards from the bottom of the screen and pass over stationary, transparent arrows near the top (referred to as the "guide arrows" or "arrow casting"). When the scrolling arrows overlap the stationary ones, the player must step on the corresponding arrows on the dance platform. Successfully hitting the arrows in time with the music fills the "Dance Gauge", or li ...

| | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Dance Dance Revolution - The DDR phenomenon Many players would tell you that playing at home is an excellent way to practice, and it saves money in the long run compared to playing in the arcade. However, many would also say that a large part of DDR is the experience of dancing in public, and becoming part of a local community. Two players can dance together side-by-side in friendship, the better player offering encouragement to the lesser, or in competition. Crowds may gather while the dance is in progress and become involved. Some players enjoy showing off by looking away from the screen, and dropping to the floor to press ...

The "spinning CD" loading screens from 1st Mix have been replaced with text displaying the player's progress (such as "1st Stage", "2nd Stage", "Fin ...

| | | | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Belly dance - Health and belly dancing The benefits of belly dance are both mental and physical. Dancing is a good cardio-vascular work out, helps increase flexibility and focuses on the torso or 'core muscles'. It is suitable for all ages and body types and can be as physical as the participant chooses to make it. Individuals would be wise to consult a doctor before starting belly dance, just as with starting any new exercise routine. It is also advised that one talks with the instructor to see what level his or her classes are geared for. Mental health benefits, for many bellyd ...

| | | | | | dances: Encyclopedia II - Caller dancing - The Round Dance Cuer Round dance cuers recite rehearsed, pre-choreographed sequences of figures. Unlike callers in Salsa Rueda or modern Western square dance, who invoke an execution of figures in an unexpected order that vary from one run of the dance to another, a round dance cuer only "cues", i.e., hints each subsequent figure of a predefined sequence, possibly already known to the dancers.
The cuer, rather than being expected to call out original, on-the-fly choreography, is expected to know many (sometimes lengthy) dances and lead the floor through e ...
