It’s interesting how one of the IGN reviewer’s main gripes is that “There are no buttons to be pressed, no unlockables, no tiers of songs, no progression of any kind.” This sounds pretty appropriate for a party game.

I am a dancer and I still found this game difficult ;)

Since the game only ‘watches’ the wiimote in one hand, a lot of how you move (which to me is a fairly fundamental part of dancing, goes ‘unnoticed’ – it is interesting that you note you drummer friend is good at this game, since rythm rather than movement is the fundamental aspect to succeeding in this game.

That said, I found this game to be great fun too; A friend of mine was telling me recently that at christmas his whole family played the game all at once copying the onscreen dancer (obviously only the person at the front was in control) and the none players had just as much fun as the player :)

OK – I must try it out then! It sounds pretty good.

Some reviewers have got it SO wrong, they blame the game, when it is just them who a) dont like to songs or the style and b) cant dance.. :D
Try it out, Jesper, it has such a tremendously nice social design. Lots of layers and good social pervasiveness. I would say it is one of the best games for Wii. Just too narrow song collection (goodies, funnies, but too little).
