Sydney, Australia 20th October, 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) and international megastar Cat Deeley, presenter of So You Think You Can Dance US, today celebrated the global launch of DanceStar\u2122 Party \u2013 a new dance game from the creators of smash hit sensation SingStar\u00ae, exclusive to PlayStation\u00ae3 (PS3\u2122) \u2013 by hosting a public dance-off.<\/p>\n
Australians of all ages danced up a storm on PlayStation 3 at First Fleet Park in Circular Quay today. Cat Deeley was at her hosting best as dancers, gamers and punters alike battled it out for the title of Australia\u2019s DanceStar. The lucky winner, 14 year old Bianca Calarco, from Cecil Hills (NSW) who heard about the competition on Facebook, impressed the judges with her moves and will jet off to the US in 2012 to watch So You Think You Can Dance live filming and also take home a year\u2019s supply of PlayStation\u00ae games.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s search for Australia\u2019s PlayStation DanceStar really captured the true spirit of dance, and that is to just get up on your feet and have loads of fun!\u201d Cat Deeley said. \u201cI see so many talented dancers on the show, but the cool thing is you don\u2019t have to be a pro to play DanceStar Party. In true PlayStation style this game brings you experiences that no other game can \u2013 it\u2019s got a killer 40 song track list set to original music video clips, and a whopping 160 choreographed dance routines. Plus, it\u2019s even got the ability to create your own moves \u2013 so one thing is for sure, you\u2019ll not only get fit, you\u2019ll also never get bored! It\u2019s going to be a massive hit this Christmas,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Cat continued: \u201cUsing the PlayStation Move motion controller, you can virtually step into the shoes of artists like Basement Jaxx, Usher and Willow Smith and become a dance diva in the comfort of your own living room. It\u2019s from the makers of the smash hit SingStar franchise so you can even grab the mic and sing along!\u201d<\/p>\n
DanceStar Party will get every Aussie home into the party mood this year.
