How to play Nickelodeon Dance on Mac

Game summary

Nickelodeon Dance is a whole new kind of Nickelodeon play experience allowing kids can dance along with Dora, Diego and the Fresh Beat Band for the first time. Gamers big and small will get up off the couch and twist, shimmy and shake to 30 songs sung by Nickelodeon friends including theme songs and Nickelodeon hits like \"We Did It,\" \"Al Rescate,\" and \"Here We Go.\" In addition, popular favorites like \"Dancing In the Street,\" \"We got the Beat\" and \"Rhythm is Gonna Get You\" ensure fun for the entire family. Parents focused on increasing their child\'s physical activity will appreciate the workout feature which promotes heart healthy activity as kids ratchet up the dance action and are graded for their accuracy as they dance with the Nickelodeon gang. And since nobody wants to dance alone, Nickelodeon Dance supports two players on every song, with song lyrics posted at the bottom of the screen along with easy-to-follow visual oriented dance move prompts that players duplicate with their bodies using the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360.

Play Nickelodeon Dance on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Nickelodeon Dance on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Nickelodeon Dance installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Nickelodeon Dance like you would on any PC.
