Harmonix already showed the most enjoyable and simplistic way to enjoy rhythm gaming with the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series, that--in a sense--imitated the motions and actions it took for its respective musician. Dance Central is a very obvious evolution to that.
In a world where the concept of dancing games were already popularized through Dance Dance Revolution (which wasn't really dancing, just hitting notes rhythmically with your feet/fingers) and Just Dance (which has no real guide or real restrictions), Dance Central would be the Kinect game that felt like it utilized this new peripheral best by actually teaching the players choreographed dance moves.
From what I understand, this was the first dancing game that actually required the player to get the moves and motions right to real dance moves. The que cards on the side instruct the player how to move--sometimes with not enough information--and stay on-rhythm. While some of it may look silly when you're pulling off these moves on your own, much of it is practiced in large groups of choreography dancers, where it's much more appropriate.
I'm not saying Dance Central will teach you how to become the life of the party at that wedding reception you're going to, but it gives you a good idea what it takes to bust a move. It's also a fun way to get some exercise. I always found the easiest way to get to working out for the uninitiated is to add a game-like score to it. The only shortcomings are the mandatory "free moves" segments that are in every song, and the fact that it isn't 2 players.
