Dance Dance Revolution!

For those of you who don't know what Dance, Dance, Revolution is, let me enlighten you...

The kids have a Playstation (Video Game console) and Dance, Dance Revolution is one of the games that you can play. It has a mat that you play the game with where on the screen there will be arrows that come up and you have to hit the corresponding arrow on your mat. There are different levels ranging from Beginner, to Basic, to Difficult, to Expert, and finally Challenge. She has moved on to the Basic level, which doesn't sound like much, but when you see her going, you can see that there are a lot of moves in a short period of time. This past little while, Melissa has been trying to get an A on one particular song (which isn't even in English, but it's hard and she likes it) and here is her attempt:

The amazing thing is, there are times where she will kind of stumble, but she is so focused, she gets right back into it, and hardly misses a beat!

And here is the finish...

The reason for the reaction?

You need a score of at least and 8,100,000 to get an A. And her score was 8,056,871. That is the difference between five perfects as opposed to greats. Yeah, that stinks...

{side note: I videoed this because I thought for sure she was going to get her A that time and I thought it would be fun to capture the victory. Although, her just barely missing it was a great reaction too. She did actually get an A the very next day, I just didn't get it on the video. Now, she is on to Difficult, and THAT is just plain crazy!}
