Dance Game in Arcade.

Flashing blue lights dance along with the beating techno music. Two young girls laugh and press a red button.

Immediately their faces turn stern and eyebrows narrow. The screen quickly scrolls through hundreds of combinations of arrows pointing in every direction.

The girls don't seem bothered by the rush or distracted by the head of the blond Anime character spinning behind the commands. Their feet make an atrociously loud beat as they stomp.

As the yellow and orange spotlights from the game stare them in the face, one girl steps in a different direction than the other. She grunts, then struggles to catch her footing again.

The song comes to an end and the girls step off of the flashing blue stage where the words "Take Dance to the Next Level" are displayed as a warning to those brave enough to play.

Wiping the sweaty black bangs away from her face, one girl jokingly tells the other there will be a rematch later.

The game is left alone, flashing bright colors and blaring quick beats of techno music, begging for another chance to come to life again.
