Parents need to know that this game doesn't have an official ESRB rating, but we would recommend the game for ages 13+ due to the online chat component and some mildly suggestive lyrics and skimpy outfits. The game has open chat with a built-in language filter which blanks out common curse words, but users seem to have found creative ways of circumventing the filter (such as spelling the curse word with a slight difference). Players can marry other players of the opposite gender in the game, or "divorce" them by buying a "dump potion." The game is free to play, but players can use real money to buy an in-game currency called Acclaim Coins, which can be used to purchase new clothes and items. Items can also be bought using Points, which players earn through dancing, but it will take them longer to save them up. Players get 1005 Acclaim Coins for $10, and a complete outfit costs between 600 and 1500 Coins.

Families can talk about whether they prefer to use the keyboard or a dance mat. Which is easier? Does playing a dancing game make them want to learn some dance moves in real life? Do they think that this game has improved their rhythm or dancing skills?
