Adventurers wanted. No dancing talent required.

Welcome to The Top Secret Dance Off, an underground network of otherwise ordinary people seeking to activate the dance secret -- an elusive power said to be hard-wired into our brains, and requiring highly unusual dance experiences to unlock it.


Find more videos like this on Top Secret Dance Off

As part of an alliance, you'll complete dance quests and win dance-offs to develop Choreopowers and to unlock new dance battlegrounds to explore. Your progress toward activation will be tracked on the super-secret Quest Board.

Your first mission is to complete Dance Quest #1: Disguise Yourself. New dance quests and dance-off battlegrounds will be revealed every few weeks throughout 2009. But you don't have to complete every quest or battle in every dance-off. Just pick your favorites, and dance at your own pace -- whatever gets you closer to the secret.

And remember: You can start your dance-off adventure any time. The quests never expire, so you can't fall behind in TSDO. Dance at your own pace! If you miss one dance-off, there's always another one coming...

About the adventure

Top Secret Dance Off is an adventure you can undertake anywhere in the world. No dance skills or talent is required. In fact, you may find yourself rewarded more for awkward dancing than for a virtuoso performance. Activating the dance secret isn't about being a good dancer. It's about being a clever dancer, a brave dancer, and occasionally a stealthy dancer.

You will need 1) music and 2) a way to capture digital video in order to participate in everything. Some quests will work better with Mp3 players, but they're not strictly necessary. If you don't like the music you have, use our common soundtrack found in the left sidebar of this page. And if you are missing video gear, you can join us as a super-secret or shadow member.

Adventures will involve undertaking a variety of challenging, top secret dance missions on video, sometimes in the privacy of your home, and sometimes in the most unlikely environments. You may play alone, or with up to four friends. Mask-wearing or other disguises is required.

GrooveMoove!

I've been meaning to post on this and Like a Starflower was kind enough to give a friendly nudge.

At this year's Come Out & Play festival in NYC a group of game designers developed a great game called GrooveMoove. It's essentially a group DQ3 involving all too innocent bystanders.

The rules, as you can read in more detail on the event page, are that… Continue

Seriously LONG TIME on the 3rd.

My camera battery charger was LOST, and so while I could use my iMac camera, I can't go outside to shoot! I will come back at this site with a renewed vigor once I get my new charger in the mail. It's been ordered.

Weather. Bah.

I am waiting for the weather to cooperate so that I can back up LaS' fabulous challenge. Having put out the dare, it would be unsportsmanlike not to do my part for the alliance and back up the challenge. However, I can't really dance with my over-sized prop inside my house (it *is* over-sized, after all), so I'm waiting for it to stop raining so I can find a nice outdoor space. Meanwhile I am examining crosswalks around my house for the right combination of danceability and not-getting-run-overa… Continue

Music and DO1

One of my biggest problems in coming up with new videos is picking music. I have a very limited knowledge of music--but the awesome thing is that TSDO is making me really expand my horizons. (I'll take fun music recs... anybody? anybody? Bueller?) I've finally picked music for DO1, so I'm hoping to get the video done this weekend. Wheee!
