FREMONT, Calif., November 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Digital Praise® Inc, the leader in Christian themed, family-friendly entertainment software, today announced it has begun shipping Dance Praise™ 2-the ReMix, a completely redesigned version of its wildly popular dance arcade game for the PC. Dance Praise 2-the ReMix features over 50 new songs, new steps, new graphics and new features that are sure to get people off the couch and into the fun.

Since its debut, the award-winning Dance Praise has been a huge success with families, churches, schools, and youth groups alike due to its challenging, high-energy gameplay and uplifting Christian themes. The computer game, suitable for both Windows and Mac operating systems, challenges players to match an onscreen display of scrolling arrows paced to the music. Players have to keep up by stepping on the corresponding arrows on dance pads that connect to the computer through a USB port.

Dance Praise 2-the ReMix brings a variety of fresh and expanded features to the original dance game. In addition to over 50 new songs by today’s top contemporary Christian artists, Dance Praise 2-the ReMix now offers four levels of custom-made steps--over 200 possible dances in all. Even more, players can choose random, computer-generated steps for each song to create an infinite variety of dances. Other new features in Dance Praise 2 -the ReMix include:

A customized play list feature that lets dancers select, organize and dance continuously to their favorite songs;
Exciting “unlocks” that reveal additional dances;
An arcade-style Tetris stepping game using the Dance Praise dance pad;
A revised Exercise Mode with improved record keeping that lets users dance as long as they wish, while burning a targeted number of calories. The feature makes exercise fun, not only by tracking calories burned over weeks and months, but also by charting weight loss;
Individualized sign-in that allows players to track their high scores by song and skill level;
A new super-easy level so younger kids can dance successfully right away;
Four-pad capability that allows four dancers to play simultaneously – each at their own level;
All new 3D graphics, including silhouetted characters that dance in the background;
New bonus scoring items that add even more fun.

Dance Praise has been an unqualified hit--but we're always looking for ways to make it even better," said Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise, Inc. "Dance Praise 2-the ReMix is the result of input from players, parents and youth leaders around the country. We're excited that the new features let families of all ages play together and compete at their own level. Our users tell us that Dance Praise brings them closer together."
