    This is by far the most technically challenging routine on the disc. The lyrics are the same as they were on the normal version, with lots of short phrases and a vocal lag that means you want to hit the “you” in “Annie, are you okay?” a little early if you can. The reason why this is hard is because you will start seeing a lot of single beat poses. These poses are based on full moves from the regular version, so you might have a good handle on them already, but they come very fast. But not as fast as you might think. One of the easiest ways to screw up and lose your multiplier is to take these poses too fast. Remember, as fast as they might be you are still dealing with Kinect which can have trouble detecting fast movements. As a result, if you are having a lot of trouble getting the poses to register, try half-assing them. Instead of going full out trying to get to the pose in time, go a little slower and try to get the basics of the pose. Just put your hand out a little bit and lift your knee instead of actually kicking out. You won’t get a perfect, but you will probably keep your multiplier. There are a number of other moves that will cause problems like that, so try taking them a little slower. It may not look as cool, but you will keep your multiplier more often than if you were dealing with the move at full speed. As usual, do not get behind the pace of the dancers, though. Another thing of note is that there is a quick pose before every vocal section, so you are likely to lose your multiplier going into the vocals. It’s a pain, but they seem to have the finest timing of all. The most important one to hit is the one at the end of the second dance section since right after it is the crown. Be ahead of the dancers for that one and hold it until you see a rating, just to be sure.

    In general, this one is just down to practice and knowing what comes next without looking at the dancers. In particular this is because there is a lot of head nodding in this routine. And it is often quite fast, so you will need to know how long the move lasts without being able to get a good look at the cards. For the most part, these moves all lead into the same “puppet leg” move, though.
