Dance Central Spotlight — educational musical arcade game. As in previous installments in the franchise, players must mirror the dancer's dance routine on screen according to the instructions of "flash cards" indicating specific moves in the routine. Players are assessed and scored on the accuracy of their play. Each song includes up to eight exercises, including four difficulty levels of the standard program, as well as two fitness-focused programs and two "alternative" programs. Additional exercises and difficulty levels for songs are unlocked by collecting flash cards and earning "Flawless" scores on individual moves.
