Dora the Explorer is a very young Latina who speaks English peppered with
Spanish words. She stars in an animated children’s television series that
premiered in the US in 1999.

In Dance to the Rescue , Dora and her little monkey sidekick, Boots, have to
rescue their fox friend Swiper from his imprisonment in a bottle. He’s been
trapped there by the (not very) mean Dancing Elf, and to set him free Dora has
to enter the King’s dance contest and win One Big Wish. But first, she has to
learn the latest dance moves, and that’s where you come in…

As a new player you are taken to the sign-in screen, where you pick a color
and stickers to decorate the Dance Adventure Center, type your name, and then
click on the vamanos button (Dora icon) to pick your level on the next
screen. Every action in the game is performed with the mouse – clicking on
items and occasionally moving the mouse. During the game you have two constant
icons – the map, which allows you to visit different areas and helps you to
keep track of where you’ve been, and the level icon; if the game level is too
easy or too difficult you can change it mid-game.

You and Dora and company must visit five locations on the map and learn
several different dances before you can go to the castle in your quest to free
Swiper. At the culmination of the game you are able to visit the Dance
Adventure Center and create dance videos, listen to music, and print out your
favorite dance moves.
