In Dance Aerobics, follow what the Instructor does and says. Progress through
all 8 classes in the exercise studio, from the introductory class right up to
the most advanced level. Your room will change into a aerobic studio whenever
you want it to. You can enjoy a work out with your family, friends, or by
yourself. But remember, it's important to work out at a pace that's just right
for you.
This game is designed for use with the Power Pad. It gives you the thrill of
real Aerobics as you use your body energetically on the Power Pad. With Dance
Aerobics, shape up using the "B" side of the Power Pad. Plug the Power Pad
Connector into the No. 2 socket on the front of the Control Deck.

(1) <- (12) for entire game once started.

Pad. In either case the Main Menu Select Screen will appear.
When you step on (1) (2) (3) or (4) of the Power Pad, that
particular game or game menu will appear on the screen.

Follow your instructor's movements and aerobicise on the Power Pad. There are
eight different classes, each more challenging then the last. For every mistake
you make in the timing of your steps or where you move on the Power Pad, the
number of coins will decrease. Once you have lost all of your coins you can not
afford to make a mistake. If you do, the class is over and you will not get a
Pass Stamp to the next level!
First of all, the instructor will show you a series of steps or "Routine".
Here, the coins will not disappear if you make a mistake. Learn the steps
while matching your movements to the Instructor's.
Try not to make any mistakes in your movements! Follow your instructor's
movements as if you were looking in a mirror. If your Instructor raises her
right arm, you raise your left arm. When you're exercising in a seated position
on the Power Pad, the position of your hands and feet will be checked. You may
sit on (6) & (7) or (10) & (11).
Introductory Classes 1 & 2 | Beginner Classes 3 & 4
The Instructor will give the message "WATCH THE WAY I MOVE" to allow you to
practice the routines. When the message "FOLLOW ME" appears, judging will
begin. If the message "RELAX AND ENJOY" appears, the judges have determined
that incorrect moves are being made.
Intermediate Classes 5 & 6
In these classes, you exercise together with your instructor without
practicing. You're not judged for the first eight beats of the class.
Advanced Classes 7 & 8
These are just like the intermediate classes, but, you are not judged for the
first four beats of the class. If you complete the final class (8) you will be
crowned An Aerobics Superstar!
Once crowned, press the Reset Button and the Routines will change to make it
even more of a challenge. Each time you make the mistake of moving out of time
or misplacing your hands or feet, you lose a coin. Once you lose all the coins
your class is over. So watch carefully what the instructor's doing!
The next time you work out with Dance Aerobics, you can start from the next
class if you input your Pass Stamp Number. Read the next page for details on
how to input the Pass Stamp.
*Pass Stamp*
The code entry screen which allows you to begin at the higher levels in Dance
Aerobics.
For each class successfully completed in Dance Aerobics you will be shown a
number. This number is your Pass Stamp. You can advance to the next higher
level class using this number along with Pass Stamps from earlier levels (if
any). To input your Pass Stamp first select "Pass Stamp" on the Menu Selection
Screen.
The Pass Stamp screen will appear. Use the corresponding numbers on the Power
Pad to enter your Pass Stamp(s). Enter your Pass Stamps in the order received.
Once your Pass Stamp(s) is entered, press number (6) on the Power Pad to start
your class.
*Pad Antics*
You can choose Tune Up, Mat Melodies or Ditto.
(TUNE UP)
In this game you make music with the Power Pad. The screen shows you the Power
Pad, and where the notes are. When you step on a note on the Power Pad (except
(6) & (7)), it will show up on the music score above.
(MAT MELODIES)
Mat Melodies is similar to Tune Up but in this case you play along with the Mat
Melody tune. Move your feet around the Power Pad just as the green dots move on
the screen. Be aware, your errors are being counted and if you make too many,
your game will end.
(DITTO)
In this segment of Pad Antics you are challenged to match the computer's green
feet and hands. It's not easy. The positions for placing your hands and feet
will appear one after the other. Any body position is fine, but you have to put
your hands and feet on the points indicated. The quicker you are at placing
your hands and feet on the designated points on the Power Pad, the higher your
score. If you score more than 80 points, the pace gets faster.
*Aerobic Studios*
There are four different Aerobic Studios. Studio 5, 10, 15, 20. Using (1) (2)
(3) (4) you can select a 5, 10, 15 or 20 minute workout.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Studio Studio Studio Studio
5 10 15 20
-------------------------------------------------------------
Your score for each studio workout is determined by how well you keep up. Play
is very similar to that of Dance Aerobic Classes. Your score begins at 100 and
will decrease if you make mistakes. However, if you manage to complete the next
Routine correctly you can bring your score back up.
Remember, every time you hit Reset the Routines will change their order, then
you can enjoy a whole new aerobic workout.
