Barbie - 12 Dancing Princesses has 16 game levels and four unlockable mini-games and is the story of Barbie as Genevieve, one of 12 sisters who live happily ever after with her father, the king. Because the high-spirited, independent princesses need more structure to become suitable princesses, the King invites his cousin, Duchess Rowena to move to the castle. Rather than helping, Rowina forbids the sisters from singing and dancing and squelches their individuality. The princesses discover a magical and enchanted world and escape from Rowenas tyranny. But when Genevieve finds out that her fathers life is in danger, the sisters must unite to save the king and his kingdom.
