Welcome to the Practice Room, where you can help the Generation Girl ™ friends get
ready for the big show. Each girl has her own deck of Dance Cards. Each card is a
cool move. When you share moves, each girl's deck grows. You can also play a cool
Dance Challenge with each Generation Girl ™ to win more dance cards for your
routine and special effect cards for the Set Shop. The more you play the more dance
moves and special effect cards you have to use for the big show.
10
When you want one girl to dance alone, simply click through her deck of Dance
Cards to choose her moves. Then click and drag the moves you want from her deck
of cards out to the edges of the screen and put them in the order you want her to
dance them. Move the cursor on or around the chosen dancer. The cursor will
change to a yellow musical note, click your mouse and the dancer will begin
dancing, her music will start and shell do the first move.
The Dance Card will pulse while she dances to help identify which move is
happening. The cursor also turns to an orange musical note while she dances her
move, then returns to a yellow musical note when the move is completed. The dancer
will continue doing the same move until you click on her to start the next move. Keep
clicking until you come to the end of the dance. If you want her to quit dancing at
any time, simply move the cursor to the edges of the screen until it becomes an
arrow and click again.
To put together a dance for both girls drag out moves from each deck of cards and
put them around the screen. You can move the cards around and put them in any
order you choose by dragging them. Click on a girl to get started, and the girl will
dance the moves in the order you chose! While each girl dances her own card, the
other girl will groove to the beat.
11

5. When you put a move that both girls know into your routine they will dance the
move together.

card the dancer didn't dance, she'll give you another chance to see the routine. Click
on her to see it again and then try again!
If
you miss again in that round, the cards will flash to help guide you!
If
you miss clicking the correct moves more than 3 times in the Dance Challenge, you will
return to the Practice Room. However, you can select the Challenge Card again right away
to try as many times as you want.
If
you win all the cards from all the girls, you can still
keep playing the Challenge to show your skill!
When you win, the Challenge Card will turn over and reveal what you won!!! That
card will appear on the top of either your dancer's deck in the Practice Room (if it is
a Dance Card) or the deck in the Set Shop when you qo there next (if it is a Special
Effect Card).
