Country Dance All Stars on Kinect for Xbox Review

I’m a city girl and not much into country music, but when you combine dancing with the Kinect for Xbox, then even this city girl will throw on a pair of cowboy boots! If you have a Kinect, then you know its all about being interactive and letting you move hands free. I love these types of “games” that get you out of your seat and moving, especially on cold rainy days when it is hard to get in some much needed exercise. Speaking of exercise, it isn’t much fun anyway, but dancing is fun and gets your heart rate up, so it’s a win-win!

Country Dance All Stars features more than 35 tracks from the best names in country music including 18 CMA 2011 award winners like Male and Female Vocalists of the Year Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, Album of the Year winner Jason Aldean and Vocal Duo of the Year Lady Antebellum.  Songs from mega stars Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown Band, Brooks & Dunn and Eric Church will also headline the dance party.
