The accelerometer mode is the best among the bunch! It’s perfect for a house party. It would have been better if you could bring the lights to a bar. Hehe. At least, if he owns one, he can install as many lights as he can.

You could even use some noise reduction techniques to increase the influence of those who move in sync and decrease the influence of those who don’t have very good rhythm. Some “interestingness” heuristics could be thrown in to give talented dancers their own “light solos.” Lots of potential here for a very cool dance party app.
