In an effort to raise fitness awareness in schools, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be hosting a Dance Dance Revolution Governor's Challenge for all K-12 students, a nice change of air considering his stance against violent video games.

Konami's Dance Dance Revolution gaming franchise will be used as a workout facility in Marvin Elementary School's new fitness center located in Los Angeles. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will also grace the facility's grand opening with his presence in the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Aside from making normally couch-potato kids from 765 West Virginia schools dance and tap their way into fitness as part of the West Virginia Initiative, Dance Dance Revolution is also being used as an instrument in childhood obesity studies.

Will the old guv'nor show his moves as well? Do check this space for updates.
