''Dance Central'' is a launch title developed by Creator/{{Harmonix}} for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}'s motion controller, Kinect. This dancing game involves moving your body according to the indicators, but thanks to the sensors on the camera, it can read your whole body. This both adds more movement required for the player, but also means the moves had to be simplified compared to other dancing games to avoid physical strain.

** [[BirdsOfAFeather Jaryn and Oblio]] receive some tease as well, although much more [[{{Subtext}} subtly]] than the previously mentioned pairs. There is a dance move in-game called "Mrs. Tan" which '''only''' appears on songs that Jaryn is the default dancer for. [[spoiler:Tan is Oblio's last name]]. The tease gets a little more texty in ''VR'', where [[spoiler:Dr. Tan texts the player that]] Jaryn made an offhand remark at work about how she has an "interest" in Oblio. What that "interest" is, has not been clarified yet.

Added DiffLines:

* ColorCodedMultiplayer: The flashcards in ''[=DC2=]'', ''[=DC3=]'', and ''Spotlight'' are colored purple and blue to differentiate the routines for player 1 and player 2. This is especially helpful for players that select different difficulties. The game also will add the second character on the same side that the second player joined from rather than always having player 1 on the left, preventing any mid-routine confusion.
