Is Dance Dash worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Rhythm-game players who want movement-based play rather than button-only input
- PC players who want to use a webcam or mobile device for body tracking instead of a VR headset
- Dancers who want to make choreography or explore community-made maps
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a seated rhythm game may find the ducking, jumping and shuffling actions a poor match.
- Players who want a tightly curated set of songs may find the focus on community maps and music limiting.
- Players seeking a game centered on racing, sledding or driving will not find those activities here.
Our take on Dance Dash
Players who expect to use a headset-free setup without a camera will hit a wall at the tracking step: PC play relies on a webcam or mobile device for camera-based body tracking. The movement set also asks players to duck, dodge, jump and shuffle.
What is Dance Dash?
Dance Dash is a rhythm game for PC and VR that tracks full-body movement through a webcam or mobile device, or through a VR headset.
Its movement actions include ducking, dodging, jumping, hitting and shuffling. Players can follow community-made maps and music, and use in-game YouTube dance and music videos as movement references. The DD Editor supports uploading and viewing videos and browsing tags and categories. The vendor says full mod support is planned for June; it is not described as a current feature. The game also supports creating choreography for music and sharing it. A free demo is available.
