Dance Fabulous Blends Music and Gaming

Dance Fabulous, published by Nokia, has been released today (June 11) on N-Gage. It’s stated to be the first cross-services game by Nokia that incorporates both a music and gaming experience and offers players a new way to enjoy and listen to music.

Through a collaboration between Nokia, Interscope Records, and music legend Dave Stewart, Dance Fabulous introduces a pioneering artist, Cindy Gomez, including a dancing Gomez avatar and her brand new songs.  

Players of Dance Fabulous perform their own choreography and collect points by creating cool moves and dancing to the music. In addition to customizing their own avatars, players can mix and match between a variety of dance styles and dance sets and share their moves with friends and other players via the N-Gage Arena. N-Gage is a connected mobile games service by Nokia. 

"Dance Fabulous is a music game where players can use any music they have stored on their mobile device and download more of their favorite songs from the Nokia Music Store," said Mark Ollila, director of X-Media Solutions, Media & Games, Nokia. 

The Canadian Cindy Gomez is said to be the first artist to make her debut in a mobile game. Dance Fabulous features five of her songs, including the debut single "Again & Again". And it's not just Cindy's voice you hear echoing through the title – as well as recording unique songs for Dance Fabulous, Cindy's motion-capture studio involvement brings her own dance moves to the game in appearance of her own Dance Fabulous avatar. 

Cindy Gomez's debut single "Again & Again" has been released in Nokia Music Store and has already made its way into the charts. Her debut album coming later this year will also be available for download in Nokia Music Store.
