In a surprise move, it was discovered today that Team Harmonix decided to pay tribute to Konami through inclusion of the Konami Code within Dance Central. Input of the code allows you to get your groove on to three bonus songs taken from classic Konami games that used the code: Gradius, Contra, and Castlevania.

Without a controller, how do you input the code, though? Simple! On the main "start" screen, you have to "Be The Controller", as Kinect touts.

For Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start you must:

Jump, Jump, Squat, Squat, Sway (like in the picture above) left, right, left, right, then use your left hand to make the ASL sign for B, your right to make the ASL sign for A, then swipe across the menu to start. The new songs will be found at the bottom of the list.

Enjoy!
