Dance Central 3 - settling into a groove?

Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love Usher

We're pretty sure we'll never forget Usher appearing at Microsoft's E3 showcase this year to tell a room full of jet-lagged, jaded journalists that he wanted to see them "on their feet." As he demonstrated a few of the moves he choreographed with Harmonix, occasionally yelling "Get up!" because most people hadn't, many wanted to hate Dance Central 3 just to get back at him. Yet at a recent Microsoft expo, we felt all the cynicism wash away in a flood of joy and time travel.
