MORGANTOWN -- People in Morgantown were busy dancing, Monday, with "Dance, Dance, Revolution".

The popular video game is part of a study meant to benefit people with disabilities.

Rescare, West Virginia University and the Special Olympics are trying to find out if the interactive video game, "Dance, Dance, Revolution", can help people with disabilities.

Participants will play the game three days a week, for eight weeks.

If it is successful, the Special Olympics may consider making "DDR" a competitive event during its annual games.
