FREMONT, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Praise, Inc., a leader in family-friendly entertainment software, today added even more variety to its top-selling Dance Praise(TM) dance arcade game via the release of Dance Praise Expansion Pack, Volume 1: Modern Worship, a Dance Praise add-on.

"One of the most-requested genre additions among Dance Praise users has been Modern Worship. This pack comes through with the best artists, the best songs, and the best moves," said Tom Bean, Digital Praise president and CEO. "Each song comes with three dances, Expansion Pack, Volume 1 giving players over 100 new dances in all. Families and churches alike will appreciate the uplifting lyrics and spiritual integrity of these songs. Glorifying God through interactive gaming has never been so active and appealing."

New Features

Digital Praise's Dance Praise dance arcade game for PCs has been a top seller due to its playability and innovative features. As the arrows roll by in time with the music, players must match the pattern by stepping on corresponding arrows imprinted on the game's dance pad. The action is fast- paced, energizing and most of all, loads of fun.

The Dance Praise upgrade included with Expansion Pack, Volume 1 makes Dance Praise even more enjoyable. To make it easy to tell the source of a particular tune within the Dance Praise product line, songs appearing on the "Select Song" screen are color coordinated-green for the original Dance Praise, blue for Modern Worship. Other colors will be used to identify future expansion packs. Players can sort songs by playlist as well as artist, title or difficulty level.

By simply clicking on an album cover or artist's name, users have the option of going onto the Internet to learn more about the song, album, artist, concert dates and more. It's possible to even purchase the song's CD directly from the EMI Publishing Web site, http://www.hearitfirst.com/ .

Finally, the Dance Praise upgrade offers conveniences that make attaching the dance pad, identifying a dance's difficulty level, or competing in two- player mode easier than ever.

Pricing and Availability

Dance Praise Expansion Pack, Volume 1: Modern Worship is priced at $24.95 (Expansion Pack requires Dance Praise for operation and is not included with Expansion Pack). The pack is now available for purchase from leading Christian retailers, Amazon.com, or direct from Digital Praise.
