Over ten years ago, global video game publisher KONAMI  launched the first dance game to hit in-home consoles, DanceDanceRevolution.  The game was so successful at combining fitness with gaming that today, over a decade later, thousands of people have lost weight and the game has even been integrated into the West Virginia School system’s physical education program! Tune in to The Balancing Act November 12th at 7:00 am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television as KONAMI Senior Brand Manager Lauren Faccidomo introduces the new DanceDanceRevolution, which will be released to the public this fall.

The new DanceDanceRevolution will be available for both Wii™ and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system gaming consoles and boasts a variety of updated features including Choreograph Style mode and a new multi-player mode that functions with or without the gaming mat.  KONAMI has also included an even larger music selection and managed to increase the physical nature of the game while still making it accessible to any fitness level.

“Not only is DanceDanceRevolution fun and challenging, it also has tremendous health benefits,” Faccidomo says.  “The game will get your kids off the couch and moving, and has even helped adults lose pounds when combined with a healthy diet!  The Balancing Act is a great opportunity to show viewers how DanceDanceRevolution can fit into a healthy lifestyle and even help to keep the whole family fit.”

Faccidomo appears during The Balancing Act’s 2nd Annual Tribute to the American Family episode, and will be taking part in a sweepstakes where viewers have a chance to win items that have been featured on the show.  One lucky viewer will go home with a gaming package from KONAMI that includes a Wii, the Hottest Party Bundle, and an LCD TV.

“Having Lauren Faccidomo from KONAMI on ‘The Balancing Act’ has brought yet another great solution to women, one that will have a real impact, and help them balance their lives.  This is the essence of solutions-based programming, and we are proud that we could bring this innovative technology to our viewers” says Doug Campbell, Founder and Executive VP of Programming for The Balancing Act.
