The main gameplay consists of many different modes depending on what pops up on the screen while playing. The order and speed of each move all depends on what you are performing. Performances like Giselle, La Sylphide, Don Quixote, and all the other games have no order in common. Just like real life, all performances are different from one another which means that speed, order, length, etc., change every time, so you never really know what to expect. There are practice rounds allow you practice the same moves, but until you get to practicing the actual performance itself, you won't know the order of the minigames until it starts which means you'll have to be prepared for anything once the performance starts. All games are played using the touch screen (bottom screen) of your nintendo DS system.
Minigames
At least 3 Minigames are required to be played a month in order to progress to the next month. Minigames give you both skills and coins to purchase costumes for your dancer.

Rhythm TouchThe girl will jump platform to platform in time with the music. On the bottom screen, touch the platform the girl is about to jump toHeart-to-HeartDraw the shape your dance partner is thinking of while their back is turned. When they face you, pause. When they face their back towards you, get as many shapes done as you can in the given time.Capture the FlagTrace the given shape twice with your stylus before the time runs out. Outline the shape right, the less dizzy your character will be which makes the game easier. Make-UpFollow the example on the top screen to see what make-up to give the girl on the bottom screen.
