So you think you can dance? No not on the dancefloor, can you do it on an iPad? Yes, this is what you would do when you play the latest Dancepad app of Moonshark, which partnered with international star Jennifer Lopez, to bring out the app. And the trick is you have to dance with your fingers.
DancePad is a rhythm dance game for smartphones, where you have hit the right beats with your fingers.
While it may seem an easy to play app, it is tough to master as players need to skillfully jump, slide and jive around the dance floor following dance moves with their fingers. With consistent improvement in your performance, you will be able to unlock more levels.
In total there are 100 levels of choreographed finger-dancing set to music from top artists (including Mayer Hawthorne, Vintage Trouble, Nabiha, The Whigs, Saint Motel, Shu Sho and others). Meant for users of all ages, the app offers an innovative and energetic for an unforgettable gaming experience.
"The app combines great music and cool dance steps to create a fascinating experience, so there is no one better to partner with on this app than Jennifer Lopez," said Matt Kozlov, CEO of Moonshark.
The app is the brainchild of several University of Southern California students who were inspired by finger break-dancing videos on YouTube. Besides J-Lo's charisma and charm, the app's promo video features break-dancing crew Jabbawockeez of America's Best Dance Crew fame.
According to Moonshark, the app’s developer, the idea behind the app was to take Hollywood in the amazing world of gaming with original content created with celebrities.
"We want people to dress up (their hands) and film themselves dancing and post it to YouTube, post to Facebook," Moonshark CEO Matt Kozlov said, while adding that app users stand a chance to meet some of the artists featured on the app.
Moonshark is also said to be working on an action adventure game, in assistance with John Woo, who has directed films like "Face/Off" and "Mission: Impossible 2."
The DancePad app is available for free from the App Store on iPad.
