- Explore the lobby find where the dance lessons, photocard collection, group creation, and contest entry are all located.
- Run the tutorial learn the controls and get a clear picture of how dancing, roleplaying, and group features all connect.
Dance practice and photocard collecting
Tips
The two things you'll spend most of your time on are dance lessons and gathering photocards. Each genre — K-POP, American, and VOCALOID — has its own rhythm and feel, so it's worth trying all three before settling on a favourite. Photocards are earned through dancing and completing missions, and they raise your intimacy with characters while also unlocking group options.
- Attend dance lessons across all three genres before deciding which one you want to focus on.
- Keep collecting photocards through lessons and missions — they raise character intimacy and open up group features.
- Once you have a decent card collection, start thinking about which group lineup you want to build.
- You don't need to spend Robux to collect photocards — playing through normal lessons and missions gets them for you.
How groups work and playing with friends
Table
You can enjoy the whole game solo, but forming a group changes what's available to you. In roleplay mode, a group gives you characters to build a story around. In contests, you can enter as a group. Good communication with your members — leaning into each person's strongest genre — makes both modes work better.
| Solo play | access to dance lessons, photocard collecting, and roleplay with no coordination needed. |
| Group play | shared dance contest entry, collaborative roleplay storytelling, and a natural reason to keep practising together. |
| Roleplay mode solo | you control the characters and story yourself. |
| Roleplay mode with a group | members each contribute to the story. |
| Contest with a group | everyone drilling the same genre together helps your performances feel unified. |
Getting better at dance contests
Tips
Dance contests are a rhythm-based event where you score points. Each of the three genres has a different feel. Finding your strongest genre and drilling it repeatedly is a core approach.
- Identify which genre clicks with you earliest and make it your main focus for contests.
- Replay the same dance stage multiple times — repetition is how you internalize the timing.
- If you're entering a contest as a group, agree on one genre and practise it together so your performances align.
Staying safe while you play
Warn
Roblox games attract scammers who try to trick players into handing over account details or personal information. No legitimate player, group leader, or message from inside a game will ever need your password or your real-world details. If something feels off, stop responding and talk to a parent or trusted adult straight away.
