So, you love music, you love dancing and you love gaming but you also do not want to be in a traditional physical therapy environment? If you answered yes then Positive Gaming - iDANCE2 software is for you!

This game is great because it marks the most advanced dance game ever introduced because it contains an array of features that make it ideal for creating a fun and engaging environment for players of all ages while also providing cognitive, social and physical development benefits. So with that being said it is perfect for Ablegamers because the system was designed specifically to promote and improve several aspects of your life.

For Example, playing this game you will improve your physical abilities with the areas of Agility, speed, balance, coordination, reaction time, and cardiovascular endurance.

You will also see positive benefits in your cognitive performance while playing the game. This will manifest itself by improving your ability to order, faster sequencing, quicker pattern recognition, which can all be applied to your daily life.

From personal experience, as someone who had 15 plus years of physical therapy; I always loved when I could play a video game and also improve coordination, reaction time and cognitive ability.  Because after that many years of therapy just plain exercise can get pretty boring!

So, with that in mind iDANCE2 Software was specifically put in development for places such as the home, fitness centers, schools, YMCAs, park districts and leisure centers. Because the software is so good for people oriented, it is perfect for social opportunity.   And since it allows up to 32 players it is perfect for a large group. Why not exercise and have a blast with friends at the same time!

Now, that you have heard about all of the health benefits, its time to discuss the gameplay. This game is perfect for any music lover or dance enthusiast because it has over 130 licensed, energizing songs. The software contains licensed music from a variety of genres and from musicians around the world, such as, Japan, Australia, Russia, Germany, and Finland, United Kingdom, USA and many others.

It also offers Real-time, individual performance feedback – Each player can see their performance in real-time and can view in-depth overviews and charts showing precision, timing overview (early vs. late steps), percentage accuracy, and a variety of other information at the conclusion of each song.

Best of all, the game is suitable for all ages, offers training tutorials and all the songs are fun/appropriate without questionable lyrics. My favorite feature is that it is suitable for all levels of players – Allows for up to 3 difficulties at once. Beginners can play alongside advanced players without affecting the level of challenge experienced on an individual level.

Which is perfect for Ablegamers because it allows everyone to feel included without the added pressure of having to perform at a difficult level?

Overall, this game is great for Ablegamers of all abilities. I myself could not really play because of my need for my wheelchair. But with some adaptations I bet I could play for just a few steps. In addition, people with hearing impairments may have some issues.

This product fits the need for people who need to exercise and improve skills but do not want to do the traditional route of physical therapy!
