We are thrilled to announce, after months of intense development and 3D modeling/animation, that the much anticipated dance feature has arrived! We've got a wide variety of dance moves for you, from moonwalk to moonwalk! And, since Watts continues to tease the Mayor for his severe lack of moonwalk-ability, we thought we'd make it so easy that you literally don't have to do anything to dance...because you are now ALWAYS moonwalking! Also, we hooked everyone up with some new outfits to match. Enjoy!
