A female ? Rotate the device upside down to gain a better view of your (red) feet on the dance floor and observer the cloud notes (the red ones) in the correct position so you can read it. A couple ? Even better! Put the device in between you two to learn the steps together! - When you feel ready to move your feet along the rhythm, press the Play button and watch the feet figures moving on the dance floor according the beat of the music. Keep up with the rhythm beat and wake the dancer inside you! Visit http://www.noveltyview.com for more information and additional products.
