Game Play
You have to dance your way to the finish in order for your character to claim the power of the Groovetron. You can attack up to two times in a round in order to try to throw off your opponent. The way you determine who is ahead is how the camera angle is during regular dance time (not solos or attacks).

The harder movements are located in the lower bar. Try to keep up with what the bar says, the better combos, the better scores. Check out Duane's tips for more on this.

High Scoring Moves! These are moves that can be preformed during solos. I found this list on the anime playstation site.
