"…part dance game, and part work out. Which can help kids who have sit down at school all day, and then come home to eat and sit in front of a television.

Nickelodeon Dance has very safe dance moves for kids. This is one way that this Xbox 360 Kinect game excels. There are various backgrounds used in this home console game. All of them are friendly, and match something in the song. I noticed that the Kinect was taking pictures of the children while they danced. This is a neat, and cool feature of this game.

The thirty songs include theme songs from the character's te­levision shows. There are also songs like Limbo Rock, Down by the Bay, and the Lion Sleeps Tonight to name a few. I found these songs to be safe. There are also a few Christmas related songs.

…The dance moves will give them exercise. I tried a few songs myself and it got my heart rate going. Multiple children told us how tiring Nickelodeon Dance actually is. Parents will take special note of that, as they are looking for ways to expend that energy…

The main lesson in Nickelodeon Dance is exercise. Kids will learn to move in ways that circulate the blood flow. I recognize many of the moves in Nickelodeon Dance, since they are used as stretches in various exercise videos, and video games. I appreciate that 2K Play is publishing games that help children exercise. This is done in a fun way too." – Yolanda, familyfriendly­gaming.com
