TWO Move Controllers & Camera

As an alternative to buying the SingStar Dance Game, you can do it this way:

• Use any SingStar disc with the latest patch applied (5.01 or higher)
• You will need Move Controllers & Camera too of course.
• In the SingStore, go to Extras, and download the Dance Update (currently free in NA/EU)
• Buy a song with the dance add-on for that particular song. To see available dance tracks, go to the SingStore, click "Game-play Types", then "Dance", and you will see the tracks available to purchase. In N. America, the songs are $1.49/ea and the Dance add-ons for them are $0.49/ea, so $1.98 to get a single song with the dance add-on to it.

Road Map

Step 1: Two for Tango

Start dancing to Normal (full length) songs with a partner in "dance partners" mode, and keep dancing till you dance at least 100 songs total. You and your partner can repeat songs as often as you'd like, it doesn't need to be 100 distinct songs. Also, it doesn't have to be in one session. If you do this with the track "Baby Love", this step should only take about four hours.

After your first song, you will get Dance Starter. As you are doing this with a partner, you will also get Swing your Partner.

After 50 songs, you will unlock Dance 'till you drop.

After 100 normal (full length) songs danced with a partner, you will get Let's get together


Step 2: Dance your butt off

Look at your high scores, and see which song you scored highest in. You need to step up your dancing till you can get 9323 (or higher) on hard difficulty. When you beat the score, you will get I love to watch you dance, Tony.


Step 3: Your golden shoes

If you haven't unlocked Golden footsteps yet, dance away on Easy mode, and be sure to dance properly to the section of the song with the floor glittering gold. There are 10 of these segments in each full length song. After you performed 1000 golden moves successfully, you will get this trophy.

Trophy Guide
(Trophies are ordered in the manner suggested within the road map.)

Dance Starter
Play your first dance song

Simply dance to any song, and you will get this.


Swing your Partner
Play on any 'normal' length song in dance partner mode

See Let's get together.


Dance 'till you drop
Perform 50 songs

Self-explanatory. You will get this while going for Let's get together.


Let's get together
Perform 100 'normal' length songs in dance partner mode

Click "Play Singstar" > "play with friends" > "dance partners" and then pick any dance enabled song in "normal" (full) length. Note that songs under three minutes long will not have a choice of short/normal and counts as normal length. Once you have danced 100 tracks with a partner, this will unlock. You can keep dancing to the same song if you'd like, it doesn't need to be 100 distinct songs.

In the core game, it only counted progress of tracks with each singer obtaining at least 1000 in points. There is no in-game method to check your progress, but it is presumed to also only count if each dancer obtained at least 1000 points. For the record, if you play on easy with two move controllers in one hand rotating in a circle constantly, you will obtain that easily.

I suggest starting with whatever songs you like, and if/when you get bored, grind the rest out with the shortest track. Dancing "Baby Love" 100 times will take around four hours; while dancing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" 100 times will take seven and a half hours...

Here is a list of tracks from the disc, ordered by song length
2:36 Diana Ross and The Supremes – Baby Love
2:43 Kid Cudi vs Crookers – Day ‘N’ Nite
3:00 The Jackson 5 – I Want You Back

I love to watch you dance, Tony
Defeat our resident dancer! - achieve over 9322 points on hard mode on any 'normal' length song

Select the hard difficulty, and match your "dancing" movements to the on screen prompts. You don't need to actually move anything except your right hand (with the move controller) to match the hand on the right side (stage left) of the avatar on screen. Think of it like a mirror of your right hand, and get your actual hand to mimic it's mirrored hand on the avatar.

This trophy is hard, unlike the rest of this DLC. You need to not only move your hand to the correct spot in height, depth and width - but you also need to angle the controller precisely and match the timing.

Try to find a song with a minimal amount of actual dance movement, so you can master a smaller segment of movements to get this trophy. See Let's get together for info on track length. Also consider the dance style and speed. For example, if you are a robotic ramp agent (who's job is waving in planes with orange light sticks), the tracks by La Roux and Lady Gaga have been choreographed with you in mind!

maca3000 got 9882 on OutKast - Hey Ya! on his third attempt
j_marv got 9391 on Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
adamsternik got 9415 on Chris Brown - With You after about 25 attempts
davidecit suggests Supremes - Babylove


Golden footsteps
Performs 1000 golden moves successfully

Each "normal" (full length) track has 10 portions designated by SingStar as "golden". You will see the floor (under the dance avatar) sparkle in gold (where it is usually blue and pink). Simply perform those dance steps and you will see gold glitter sparkle into your score! Once you have done this 1,000 times total (can be multiple sessions), you will get this trophy.

Best to play on easy, so you can perform the dance move easily to register it as a successful golden move. 10 per song means you can get this done in exactly 100 songs. See Let's get together for info on which track to select, and you can grind both out at the same time!

Thanks for the guide, looks like I'm going to have to get fit to get my 100% back

[TigerLust]

Well, to get 100% back you need to:
Import SS Guitar from Europe.
Buy a PS3 Guitar
Buy SS Dance
Buy TWO Move controllers
Buy the PS3 Eye
...and then of course actually do all the new trophy requirements!

[princess_shelzie]

This is honestly taking the piss now.. these little "add on" trophies should be optional, esp if you have to pay for them!!!! It's shit, making us little trophy heads go out and buy the new games, I,honest to God think it's getting stupid!!!!!

[TigerLust]

I agree, it is pretty stupid that they are releasing full retail games with only DLC-style trophies. It is also bad for their business too, as this is a big factor for many people in whether they will buy the game or not. But our choice is really just whether we will support this sort of crap by buying the game...

Wow, I actually had the game on my wish list for Santa... Thanks very much for the info!

Which song did you buy, and did you find it easy to get the trophies with that?

[ShmenonPie]

What's the easiest song to get these trophies on? I only want to have to buy one song.
