Jim’s pretty good at it - he said it was about all he had to do some evenings last winter. He was cranking up the difficulty on almost all the songs...meanwhile I couldn’t do anything that involved more than one foot at once. ;-)
I wonder if there are any local places that sell good soft pads. The ones they had were pretty stiff and didn’t crumple - they had a thick foam part that fit together underneath the buttons.
We got the kids first soft dance pad on eBay. We ended up getting a second because when they had friends over, they liked to dance two at a time. When they got to where they were doing it a lot, we got them the metal pads for their combined birthday present. They really enjoyed them, and didn’t have to worry about the plastic pads slipping on the carpet.
