“The popularity of Dance Dance Revolution in West Virginia is reshaping our youths’ mindset regarding what constitutes physical activity,” said West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin. “I am proud of the positive impact Dance Dance Revolution is having on family time with children and adults across the state.”
