“Just Dance is a dance game, the easiest way to explain it is as “dance karaoke” Anton, the organizer of Just dance parties, tells about the super popular computer game and how to arrange an exciting dance party with its help.

I got acquainted with Just Dance in 2009, even before the release of the first part of the game, when I worked at the Igromir exhibition at the demo stand of this very first part. Since then, I have been developing the Just Dance community and do not miss a single new part.
JD is very easy to play. One of the tracks presented in the game is selected. Players are placed in front of the camera, or pick up controllers, and repeat the movements of the dancer on the screen. The game puts a "score" for each movement performed and sums up the result at the end. Depending on the platform, 4 to 6 people can play and earn points at the same time. nine0007

A variety of events related to Just Dance are constantly held all over the world and in Russia as well. Some of them are supported by Ubisoft, the company that released the game, but most of the tournaments and parties are organized by the game's community, those people who love to dance in JD. We don't like the term fan club. We have a group of initiative people who organize events, and there is a large community of ordinary Just Dance lovers - guests of our events. nine0007

There are unspoken "rules of etiquette" that are familiar to experienced Just Dance players - for example, all participants must be sure to dance for the same dancer in the game, judges must ensure that participants do not cover each other or move closer than others to camera, or, for example, you can not compare numerical results from different songs.
But in fact there are no officially approved rules. If the tournament is hosted by people who are not associated with Ubisoft or who do not have much experience in organizing Just Dance, then anything can be on it - they can both violate the above rules, and, conversely, add some stricter ones of their own. nine0007

At parties, unlike tournaments, we try to take a backseat to earning points, and all participants just dance for their pleasure, repeating the movements from Just Dance. This allows you to involve an almost unlimited number of participants at the same time.

In official Ubisoft tournaments, the rules are documented immediately before each tournament. Sometimes they count not only the points of the players earned in the game itself, but also, for example, the score of the judges who evaluate the dance component and the accuracy of the players' performance or the audience vote. nine0007

The greatest interest in Just Dance is shown, of course, by children and young people under 30 years old, but this is if we talk specifically about those who attend parties or somehow try to express themselves through Just Dance.
But people of absolutely all professions and ages love to play at home with family or friends.

Of course, in our community there are famous people, their own stars. First of all, these are the winners of championships of different levels, as well as YouTubers and streamers who make Just Dance content. nine0019 There are also those who organize events or gather people around them, like us. The same people exist in other countries. This also attracts some attention.)

Each part offers 40 songs to players, plus additional dances and dances from old parts are available by subscription. Just Dance features many different styles, but most of it is contemporary pop and dance. In the playlist of any part, there are older songs, and dances for Latin lovers, and children's dances - but these are single tracks. There are themed playlists in which songs are grouped by style. But, of course, you cannot choose a style for each specific song - all the dances in the game are pre-recorded and cannot be changed at the player's request. nine0007

If you set a goal, then using the game you can pump yourself well in dancing. But for this you need to devote a lot of time to training, and also receive adequate feedback - participate in tournaments, go to parties, dance in front of a mirror, or record yourself on camera.
But, even if you just sometimes play at home and learn dances, this can already give a good result - help you open up, help you gain flexibility, endurance and a sense of rhythm.

Just Dance Party Supplies

• TV or Projector Screen
• Audio system or speakers
• Game console or computer
• Controller (can also be a smartphone)
• Just Dance Software
• Dance space

Just Dance is primarily a game that is intended for entertainment at home in your company. You can buy a disc with Just Dance for any modern game console (even for the Nintendo Wii). For some platforms, you may need to purchase additional controllers, but, for example, for the Nintendo switch, everything you need is already included in the console itself. nine0019 If there is no console at hand, then you can use the Just Dance Now application on a computer or Apple TV - in this case, instead of controllers, players can use their mobile phones (on current generation consoles, the phone can also be used as a controller).

In order to play at a party, you can simply put on a TV and allocate a small space (literally a few meters), and then 5-10 people can comfortably dance. Or you can put up a huge plasma screen or a projector, connect a powerful sound and not limit the space - and then dozens of people will be able to dance at the same time. nine0007

We love this game and have been doing it for so many years, because it's a great combination of physical activity and gaming experience, and it's really very interesting.
Just Dance allows even those who have never had a love of physical exercise to join the dance. In addition, dancing, especially in a large friendly company, is a great emotion and a great way to socialize. Every day we watch how people find themselves, find friends and become more confident in themselves thanks to Just Dance. nine0007

Wii Fit - for a healthy lifestyle

To call a full-fledged article a description of the bundle, from which the world gaming community has long been delighted, the language does not turn. Therefore, I propose to consider the review of Wii Fit just a listing of its capabilities :).

System Requirements

TV
Nintendo Wii
Sufficient space not cluttered with furniture
20 to 60 minutes of free time per day
Weight from 16 kilograms (but even 16.5 kg are very poorly recognized by the board)

Wii Fit official website - http:/ /www.nintendo.ru/wiifit

Overview

Even if you are not a fan of game consoles, preferring a personal computer to them, I do not blame you. But if you spend all your free time at the keyboard, convulsively squeezing the mouse with your hand, and the whole sport lies in pressing the pedals in eternal traffic jams and rooting for ours on TV, it is time to decisively stop the destructive lifestyle. The advantage of the method is that you do not need to leave the apartment and make superhuman efforts on yourself in order to break away from the computer. For, Wii Fit is an accessory for the Nintendo Wii game console that makes players swing not only their arms, but also their legs. And other parts of the body. nine0007

The box includes the actual Wii Fit game and the Balance Board, which, as experience suggests, can be used with other games. For the domestic and European markets, the boards were made with a weight limit of 150 kg, for the Asian - 130. In addition, in the box you will find a user manual and promotional offers from sports and sports companies. You don’t need to make any special settings, just insert the disc into the set-top box and put the board in front of the TV in a free space so that you can practice comfortably. The only negative is that the game is completely in English, so a translator may be required. nine0007

For a full-fledged game, you need to have your own character - Mii. You can create it from scratch or choose from the ready-made ones in the menu of the console itself. After you decide who exactly will be your incarnation, proceed to compiling a personal program. To do this, you will need to enter your age and height, perform a few simple exercises. The program will calculate the weight itself and give several recommendations. Don't wait for food lists, diets, and the like. First, it's still a game. Secondly, the game is sports, but you have to move, I promise. So take Wii Fit as the only way to lose weight is not worth it. nine0007

Physical fitness test

As many days of practice shows, the tests in the game are as diverse as the classes themselves. The primary test calculates your body mass index...

...(if you wish, you can see the weight itself) and balance, but with an increase in the load, a check for agility is added to the standard exercises (20 steps and knocking down squares by throwing weight from one foot to another), as well as athleticism and immobility. Which test you choose most likely depends on which workouts you focus on the most. You can view your preferences in the form of graphs by highlighting your Mii Athlete and selecting the appropriate menu item. nine0007

According to the results of the initial testing, you are given a sports pig - a counting rhyme of the net time of classes per day. The more you do, the more new types of training you open up. So everything depends only on your legs and endurance :).

Game for play and more

Before starting each exercise, a diagram is given so that you can see which muscles will be involved.

And before the countdown, the coach will show you how to perform this exercise correctly. The exercises are arranged from easy to hard. Some exercises are complex. nine0007

So, there are four sections in the game: yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance exercises. The fifth section - Favorites - allows you to quickly get to your 10 favorite exercises. In order to open all the exercises, I had to spend more than one day on the board and lose more than one kilogram of live weight :).

Unfortunately, not all titles were translated into Russian either by intuition or by study.

Yoga

Deep breathing (the most difficult thing is to breathe deeply and keep balance). Crescent (lateral muscles) - very similar to side bends from the school physical education curriculum. nine0019 Warrior (thigh muscles) - a very pleasant stretching exercise.

Tree (all currently unoccupied muscles - it is not easy to maintain balance while standing on one leg).

Tilts (muscles of the arms and thighs).

Standing Knee (muscles of the thighs) - standing on one leg, the knee of the other must be pressed to the chest without losing balance.

Palm tree (back and calf muscles).

Chair posture (load on the muscles of the back, legs, abs).

Triangle (lateral muscles) - I highly recommend, just stock up on an assistant who will then return you to your original state :)

Downward looking dog (back stretch).

King of the dance (lateral muscles of the back, spine).

Cobra (back muscles).

Bridge (body muscles).

Lying back stretching exercise (hip muscles).

Birch (oblique muscles of the back, abs).

Power loads

Stretching of the leg muscles (complex with the King of Dance and Standing knee).

Push-up with a load on the lateral muscles - done in combination with the "Dog looking down". nine0007

Bent over crunch (abs loading) compatible with Triangle.

Scissors (performed lying down, with a load on the abdominal muscles) - a set of exercises: a bridge, an exercise for stretching the back while lying down.

Hip Load Squat - Compatible with Warrior.

Half squats (hips and back) - compatible with chair pose.

Single leg twist (oblique abdominal muscles) - intricate leg swings.

Leg swing (muscles of the shoulders and sides are involved) - compatible with Incline. nine0007

Stretching of the back and abdominal muscles.

Triceps Stretch - Complex with Palm Tree.

Raises of arms and legs (buttocks and shoulder muscles) - compatible with Beryozka.

One arm raise (abs and thighs) - compatible with Wood.

Plus three competitions that are open to real athletes, which we have not brought up in our ranks yet :).

Aerobics

Hula hoop (not only the number of full turns of the hoop is taken into account, but also the speed and the number of the hoops themselves, which good Mii friends throw at you). nine0006 Step (it's simple: feel the rhythm, look at the screen and repeat all the movements to the music).

Jogging (the main thing is not the speed, but the pace!).

Jogging with a friend.

Super step (advanced version with side steps and change of legs).

Super hula hoop (twisting the hoop in both directions).

Rhythmic boxing - do not forget to stock up on a towel and a dry t-shirt in advance to work out at an average level of difficulty!

Free step (according to the count, you need to step back to the platform and back for 10, 20 or 30 minutes, depending on the chosen level of difficulty).

Balance

Heading balls (beware of sneakers and panda heads that hurt your head and take away precious points!).

Slalom.

Ski jumping.

Balancing the surface of the board (goal: roll the Mii ball into the hole).

Walking on a tightrope - keeping balance at a height is not the main thing in this exercise. Harder levels add side wind and traps! nine0006 Soap Bubble Journey - Move in different directions as you control your Mii floating in a soap bubble.

Sliding penguin - by transferring weight from one foot to another, you need to swing on an ice floe that is slippery for a penguin and catch a lot, a lot of fish.

Snowboard - the board is turned over to the appropriate position, and tacking is carried out back and forth. The inconvenience lies in the fact that you can only go forward on the left side.

Zazen meditation - sitting motionless (in the literal sense of the word, without being distracted by external sounds and incidents) in front of a candle for 180 seconds until it burns out. The slightest rustle will lead to early completion of meditation. Unfortunately, there are no difficulty levels here. nine0007

Additional exercises are unlocked gradually, so you won't be able to create a program from the full list of activities soon.

Some Wii pictures

Great results for a beginner can stimulate anyone to further studies.

Balance exercise - bubble journey. Really difficult!

In ski jumping, the main thing is to maintain balance on the screen and in life. Bend over like a real athlete, it will become much easier :). nine0007

As it was sung in one song: "Not only legs are needed in football! In football, by the way, the HEAD is needed!"

Sitting completely still for 180 seconds, turning the soles of your feet up to the sky so that they give off their ki energy...

Cheerfully, provocatively, to the music and very rhythmically. Not Arabic dances, of course, but also dances!

Conclusion

Wii Fit is a great way to take a break from work or idleness, tighten up, and if you're lucky, pump up muscles, lose weight and improve the mood of the whole family. If you have chosen a playful way for conscious weight loss training, then it is recommended that you regularly take a fitness test in order to follow your progress curve.
