    Note: by 'every song' it also means challenges, including the Grand Finale.

    Some songs are extremely active and have a lot going on, Break it Down mode is invaluable here. It's always worth trying the song on Perform it First, then I'd advise running through any songs in particular that you struggle with on Break it Down Hard. This makes the songs much, much less overwhelming than just sightreading, as some of the harder moves can be quite hard to follow from just the flash cards.

    The two songs that I particularly struggled with are Don't Sweat the Technique & Teach Me How to Jerk. Both of which are very active, but Break it Down helps piece them together.

    However, PLEASE make note of the slight Break it Down glitch though, as described in this guide:

    Hope this helps!

    BasanakinDont have the achievement, but 2 moves in Days Go By (by Dirty Vegas) are simply impossible. I did the Break it Down soooo many times on those moves, but with no success AT ALL. Seriously tried 1 of them for 30 minutes, and never got the 3 green flags for it. 0.-

    KinectKid333Once I Complete this game, it will seize the spot for highest TA ratio for a game, highest TA ratio for an achievement (something to prove), and highest overall TA for a game. Plus it will be my 4th retail game completed (May not sound like a lot but I only have around 30)

    Once again, comment if you have a lower score that still is 5 stars. And good Luck!

    Also, here is the order that I would attempt the songs
    If you don't have hard unlocked, break it down on hard and then perform it until you get 5 stars.

    If you have Hard unlocked, attempt the song on hard twice. If you haven't gotten 5 stars by then, break it down. Then keep performing it until you get 5 stars
    Showing both comments.
    MattiasAndersonThis is great! Thank you! I will let you know if I get 5 stars with lower points. :)

    MattiasAndersonTeach me how to jerk = 564.538 will give you 5 stars. Perhaps but the lowerst known like this next to your score (564.538)

    PS. Not sure I will be able to beat Don´t sweat the technique on hard. So tough!

    If you can´t get 5 stars even if you perform, break it down and perform again, I recommend this:

    1- Get a friend/family member to watch your moves, the game's moves and your shadow in the kinect bar. Sometimes you don't see your wrong moves, or don't see the little details that break your combo.

    2- Search the song that you failed in youtube. Look for 5 gold stars and watch closely the shadow in the kinect bar.

    3- If you have DC2 or 3, try to practice, especially in DC3 because the feedback is better and you can record a video of your moves.

    Practice a lot and with patience you can do it.
