Dance Central Spotlight
open-in-new
<h2 id="gameplay">Gameplay</h2> <p>Similarly to previous installments in the franchise, players must mirror the dance routine of an on-screen dancer,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> as instructed by "flash cards" indicating specific moves in the routine. Players are judged and scored on the accuracy of their performance.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> Each song includes up to eight routines, including four difficulty levels of the standard routine, along with two fitness-oriented routines and two "alternate" routines.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> Additional routines and difficulty levels are unlocked for songs by collecting flash cards by getting "Flawless" ratings on individual moves.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p><p><i>Spotlight</i> includes songs from artists like <a href="/facts/Rihanna/SVplktjf">Rihanna</a>, <a href="/facts/Lorde/SdHCVszJ">Lorde</a> and <a href="/facts/Pharrell_Williams/z04fEWSv">Pharrell Williams</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> It focuses primarily on the core gameplay of the franchise, with a simplified offering of standard and fitness modes, and no story mode or other <a href="/facts/Minigame/vctUJsPm">minigames</a> like past versions. The practice mode was overhauled to use a dynamic, "on-demand" approach, rather than the "regimented" approach used by previous <i>Dance Central</i> games: players can now jump to training mode in-game by using a voice or controller command. Once activated, the player can practice the relevant portion, slow down the routine, and go to different parts of the song. When the player exits practice, the song continues from where it was left off.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> </p><p>The following ten songs are bundled with the game:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> </p> <table><tbody><tr><th>Song</th><th>Artist</th><th>Year</th></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/That_Power_(song)/SNQRNIrt">#thatPOWER</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Justin_Bieber/3yR2amA3">Justin Bieber</a> ft. <a href="/facts/Will.i.am/D0z1u6uB">will.i.am</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Counting_Stars_(song)/1es7UQCn">Counting Stars</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/OneRepublic/KTehmDMI">OneRepublic</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Diamonds_(Rihanna_song)/qjGjYhzb">Diamonds</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Rihanna/SVplktjf">Rihanna</a></td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Happy_(Pharrell_Williams_song)/RBpqvMl3">Happy</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Pharrell_Williams/z04fEWSv">Pharrell Williams</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/I_Wish_(Cher_Lloyd_song)/7mAsSWd8">I Wish</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Cher_Lloyd/D7HETAnL">Cher Lloyd</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Royals_(Lorde_song)/JC3jNgwq">Royals</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Lorde/SdHCVszJ">Lorde</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Show_Me_(Kid_Ink_song)/vmRkqbeK">Show Me</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Chris_Brown/bhsTcNUG">Chris Brown</a> ft. <a href="/facts/Kid_Ink/zb4HrQX1">Kid Ink</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Talk_Dirty_(Jason_Derulo_song)/bqoz6ADp">Talk Dirty</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Jason_Derulo/hJHq0XpY">Jason Derulo</a> & <a href="/facts/2_Chainz/MuEHYBKo">2 Chainz</a></td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Titanium_(song)/NpHK6wRU">Titanium</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/David_Guetta/FjJkhx4I">David Guetta</a> ft. <a href="/facts/Sia/HMyD6umf">Sia</a></td><td>2011</td></tr><tr><td>"<a href="/facts/Wake_Me_Up_(Avicii_song)/L9UeySkD">Wake Me Up</a>"</td><td><a href="/facts/Avicii/2Kb0uWpt">Avicii</a></td><td>2013</td></tr></tbody></table> <h2 id="development-and-release">Development and release</h2> <p><i>Dance Central Spotlight</i> was unveiled at <a href="/facts/E3_2014/qrK6e7Mm">E3 2014</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> The overall gameplay of the <i>Dance Central</i> franchise was enhanced by the increased capabilities of the Xbox One <a href="/facts/Kinect/dD5P9XDW">Kinect</a> sensor, which has a higher resolution camera and better gesture recognition than the Xbox 360 iteration.

Emphasizing that players wanted to have quicker in-game access to <a href="/facts/Top_40/vHTAW2M6">current hit music</a>, Nordhaus stated that Harmonix would now be able to release new songs as DLC while they are still <a href="/facts/Music_chart/Ae8LNm9B">charting</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> </p><p><i>Dance Central Spotlight</i> was officially released on September 2, 2014; unlike other installments in the series, the game is only available via <a href="/facts/Digital_distribution/9gbe83sK">digital</a> means.
