I’m very pleased to announce that iDANCE v2 BETA will be presented at the Club Industry 2009 show this year. (October 15th – 17th at McCormick Place in the WINDY city) Chris Foy and I will be on the show floor with our distributor and friends EXERGAME Fitness. Please be sure to come out to the event, do some dancing, and give us your feedback! We look forward to seeing all of you in Chicago!
I’m very pleased to announce that the first presentation of the new beta of iDANCE Version 2 was very successful at the Pulse fitness booth in 2009 LIW trade show in Birmingham, U.K. We were told that Pulse had a record high interest that they’ve EVER had at previous shows. iDANCE was one of four “Multiplayer dance systems” displayed at the show this year.
iDANCE features a completely new non Stepmania based engine that has been designed by our Positive Gaming team. LIW 2009 was the first time that many of the new version 2 concepts were shown to the public!
Several players had great things to say about improvements that were made from the original version that premiered a year ago at LIW 2008. iDANCE 2 will continue to make improvements off the original success of the “Multiplayer” concept that originally was conceptualized by Ole Petter Høie and the Positive Gaming crew years ago. The idea has continued to expand and seems to be the future (in my mind) for dance game products today.
As many players are aware, Chris Foy and myself have joined the Positive Gaming team to help produce future versions of iDANCE and promote the future of EXERGAMING. We’ve both spent more time in Europe than we ever thought possible when we signed on to the project. (our design work is based out of Europe) Chris and I look forward to helping promote iDANCE with all of our global distributors in the coming months. Please continue to check back for news/updates about our travels with iDANCE.
What can players expect in the future? I can honestly say that I’ve never been so excited about the potential of a new dance game product in the past years. Chris and I have continued to see a new audience build from our presentations at each event… We are both incredibly excited about the market potential and future that lies ahead for iDANCE. I believe this is the beginning of the future of dance games as we know them today. Never before was it possible to actually play with up to 32 people in such a reliable and user friendly environment. We are changing the future of dance game products with iDANCE!
I would like to encourage all players that are curious and/or have questions about iDANCE to comment on this posting. I will do my best to answer your questions (if possible) and give some insight. Please also be sure to check out some of the pictures and videos that I’ve collected from various sources below!

What does Pop art have in common with electronic music?
Pop Art embraced commercial techniques by creating machine produced art. Electronic music embraces technology in place of more organic instruments.
The Electro-Pop Art Party is one you dare not miss – Resistance is futile.
Portland band Oscillator X, fresh from their concert in Europe at the Arcade Dance International Championships in Amsterdam, will provide a world-class performance which includes their own customized light show complete with fog machine and air-powered confetti launchers in Tacoma at the Robert Daniel Gallery during the Electro-Pop Art Party.
The infectious dance grooves of Oscillator X can be heard in several video games including the In The Groove series, the Pump It Up series, iDance, Snake 360, Snowball Runner and others.
Oscillator X’s sound is often compared to artists as diverse as Eiffel 65, 2Unlimited, O-Zone and Daft Punk. Unlike many of today’s dance acts, Oscillator X is a bona fide band with both members writing and performing all of the music, both in the studio and at their dynamic live shows.
Oscillator X released their first album in late 2008 on their own record label, SCI Recordings. The first single “Dynamo” has hit #1 in several US radio markets including Tacoma’s own KVTI I-91 FM & Seattle’s C89.5 FM.
