Dancing with the Stars for the Wii

[Rikkuffx]

So,I got a wii for christmas,they didnt have the game in store so i bought it online. I havent had a chance to play it yet,but I was curious about something. I was reading the customer reviews on the game and a few people had stated you cant use the dance pad with the game,so while i'm in Gamestop getting tons more games for my new Wii,I decided to ask the guy that was ringing me up if I could use the dance pad with the game,he said yea and got me a dance pad. I havent been able to try it yet but I was wondering if anyone here has played it and played it with the pad? Even if I cant use the pad with Dancing with the Stars,I know DDR is out on Wii too and i'll prob get a copy at some point,at least I have the dance pad even if I cant use it with Dancing with the Stars.Oh and the guy also gave me a universal dance pad he said you can use it on the wii,and online it does say its compatible with the wii but on the box it says only xbox,gamecube and ps2,so it is wii compatable too right?Thanks in advance and sorry for my stupidity.
