Want to be a dancer for Britney Spears? Well, now you can. A new videogame has just hit retailers in which you can audition to be a backup dancer on a virtual concert tour.
Videogame maker THQ announced Thursday that ‘Britney’s Dance Beat’ for PlayStation 2 has been shipped to retailers nationwide. The game lets players audition to be a backup dancer on Spears’ virtual concert tour by maneuvering one of six characters through a series of practices and auditions to perfect their dance moves.
“Rhythmic pressing of the right buttons to the beat of Britney’s hit songs will unlock exclusive behind-the-scenes video footage and concert clips,” THQ said in a statement. The game also features her music, including new releases “Overprotected” and “I’m a Slave 4 U,” as well as “... Baby One More Time,” “Oops! ... I Did it Again,” and “Stronger.”
Additional DVD content includes 360-degree immersive video in which the player controls the camera at a concert with the controller, deciding whether to watch Spears and her dancers on stage, or cheering fans in the crowd.

THQ said Spears underwent a cyber-scan to create the most realistic 3D model possible. The game is compatible with most dance or beat pads so that players can watch a digital Spears dance on-screen and attempt to match the dance moves on the dance pad.
“It is so cool that I have my very own videogame,” Spears said in a statement. “THQ totally captured my dance moves perfectly. I was blown away by how realistic everything looks!”
THQ vice chairman and COO said “Britney’s Dance Beat … is a new form of entertainment that blends gaming with music, videos and behind-the-scenes access for fans.”
The game is the first to release for a next generation game system under THQ’s exclusive agreement with Britney Brands Inc. to publish games featuring Britney Spears. Britney’s Dance Beat for Game Boy Advance is also available and a PC version will ship in June.
