It’s like Dirty Dancing, without the dirty. Busting into a club, gravitating towards unsuspecting victims, activating your groove, and encouraging them to join your dance line. It’s not something that always works in the real world (trust me, I’ve tried), but in Conga Master Party! you are the dance commander...
