Kyle Ward, Dance Game Legend, Positive Gaming, says:

"I'm really amazed at the turnout we've seen with IDANCE2. Having been involved in the dance game industry for roughly 6 years, I've never seen an audience build as quickly as this. Dance games continue to be a source of exercise, social activity and rhythm instruction for kids and people of all ages. I'm honored to be a part of spreading this around the globe with my Positive Gaming coworkers."
