Twenty-one year-old Antoine Thompson, of Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, likes to dance-- a lot. The pharmacy employee spends at least 2 hours a day at Dennis' Place for Games in Chicago, stomping out his moves on a large metal game known as Pump it Up. Like its rival, Dance Dance Revolution, the goal is to never miss a step as you dance out a pattern of thumping, fast-paced songs.
