dance games
Movement-based video entertainment
Dance games are video games where players move their bodies to match on-screen prompts, typically synced to music.
The genre emerged with arcade cabinets like *Dance Dance Revolution*, where players step on pressure-sensitive floor pads, and expanded to home consoles using motion-sensing cameras or controllers.
We played dance games at the arcade until we were drenched in sweat.
