The original Just Dance is a breakout hit on the Wii. It's sold over two million copies in just a few months. Never played it, but I actually really liked their Just Dance commercial:

From the many sponsored dances on YouTube, here are some good ones:

Can these types of releases actually be called games? The controller is only being held in one hand taking in a fraction of the movements and the game just assumes you're moving that way. If it had a camera to record your entire body movements would the scores reflect accurately. But maybe that's missing the point. These games look like a blast to play to embarrass visiting relatives or to try out at a party, no different than karaoke or Rock Band.
