Another advantage of DanceTown is the potential to exercise at home, with a simple technology that does not require a large space. Moreover, since two dance pads can be connected simultaneously, people can play at the same time.

 

All these characteristics of DanceTown may help inactive middle age and older people to become more active. While we do not know of any formal studies of dance pad games in healthy middle-aged or older adults, the program has been shown to be safe in children and young adults.
