Time to Get Up And Dance

By Mir
January 23, 2012
Category Contests

I think it’s time for a contest where you can work up a little sweat. (What? No! Sheesh! Minds out of the gutter, people.)

What’s better than trying to dance along with your favorite songs and looking like a complete dork? Dancing along with your favorite songs and looking like a complete dork while swinging a wiimote. Obviously. (I would also accept “dancing along with your favorite songs and looking like a complete dork in front of your teenager’s friends” for that one. Either way.)

I have in my possession three brand-spankin’-new copies of Get Up And Dance for the Wii, and it looks crazy fun. Play with up to four players at a time, and either just dance away or set it to Shape Up mode and get a serious workout. Please note that due to the lyrics contained in this game (artists include Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, and other hit pop stars), this title is rated T for Teen. (Read: please do not win it for your small children and then send me hate mail.)

Want to win one? Of course you do! First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 for an entry. I’ll use my handy-dandy random winners picky plugin to select three winners, and there shall be much rejoicing. And dancing.

Ready? Go!

  15. Evil, evil Christmas cookies are still hanging around…my rear end and thighs, that is. It’s also really tough to get my Asperger’s kid moving, but for some reason Wii games (especially dancey ones) work their magic on her. Especially when she’s kicking my previously mentioned (ever widening) rear end! Also. We’d love to win one of these. Beautiful, beautiful, Mir.

  155. Oooh, we would love this. And I’m not concerned about the lyrics. My kids hear their Dad watch the Patriots. As my youngest, age 6, says, “Don’t worry, we already know all the swears.”

  156. I’ve been looking at dance programs!

  157. I adore your blog. It is fun to read and i’m tempted to buy stuff I don’t even need because of it. I love a deal. thanks for being there for me!

  158. This makes me want to sing that Laurie Berkner song “I really love to dance, dance, dance, dance…” which would cause my children great embarrassment. I would soothe their mortified souls with this new game! Thanks for the chance. 🙂

  159. WOW! Great prize!

  160. Ooh, fun!

    Thanks, Mir!

  161. Wii! Fun!

  165. Too fun!
    Pick me, please!

  191. No kiddies in my house, just me and my dorky dancing friends 🙂

  192. My daugher would LOVE this!

  193. Ooh! I want this!! Maybe I’d learn how to dance and not look like such a dork! Maybe I’m hoping for a little much….

  194. sounds like fun!!

  195. There are a bunch of people here at my house just wanting to get their dance on.

  196. Looks cool! Go go lucky number generator!

  197. I so need this! We have been scouring the web for an inexpensive copy! Free is right in my price range!

  198. I get wiped out after three songs. And my 7-year old already knows all those naughty songs from the top-40 station her bus plays (yep, music on the bus). Sign me up!

  216. Pick me please! I could use a boost getting back on the exercise wagon!

  217. Would you believe my kids’ elementary school is now using Wii dance games as PE curriculum?!?! I’m officially the uncool mom because I have no earthly idea what they’re talking about (but gym days sure are happier occasions around here these days!).
