GETTING STARTED Package Contents PC The game is pre-installed onto a PC and when turned on, the game starts automatically, opening directly to DanceDanceRevolution ® : Classroom Edition. Keyboard The provided USB keyboard can be used to navigate through the menus by pressing the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT arrows as well as the ENTER and BACKSPACE keys. You’re also required to type in data for session names and student or class information. Monitor A standard PC monitor is included.
FAQS 1. Do students have to stand in the middle of the dance mat? a. No. They can stand anywhere they want on the mat. The most important thing is to have a solid base by placing your feet shoulder length apart. This will set you up to perform the dance moves well. 2. When do I step on the arrow? a. You should step on the arrow when it reaches the clear, stationary arrows at the top of the Dancing Lane. Do your best to feel the beat and you’ll get more accurate as you keep trying. 3.
