How is the Kinect 2 ????

I think it works great! ...for the most part. The camera often has issues identifying me from my brother, so it'll often sign him in instead of me & vice versa, but then again, we're twins & look a lot alike, so that may not be the fault of the Kinect. Also,
if you have a loud sound system, the Kinect may not hear you give the commands, but other than that, it works flawlessly as long as you learn & know the appropriate commands to get to where you want to go.

^ this. As long as you learn how to use it properly, it works exceptionally well. I don't really ever use it for games, I just love it as another controller. But it does have fun uses like flicking zombies off you by shaking the controller instead of just
pushing a button. So I really like it!

it works around 90% of the time on first try, for voice commands.

as for games I have had no troubles playing the kinect games on the X1 other than them being hard from time to time.

When Dance Central is announced for Xbox One we'll get a forum up for it but 24 is correct, It works pretty good with Just Dance and I see you've asked about it there.

I'm not sold on kinect 2 yet - seldom works when I ask it to. Kinect 1 works fine however. The jury is still out however as the 360 kinect is mounted on top of the tv, whereas the X1 kinect is on the TV stand. Near the TV speakers. & the screaming kids.
Which is what I put ti down to. Gonna get a TV mount for it then make a proper judgement call then.

I find kinect 2 not much better then kinect 1, it's still slow but more accurate and currently i don't find any use for it that it is just turned off.

Overall good, but of course does not come with minor issues. Sometimes won't read your commands or the hand pops up randomly on the screen. It is a great start though very handy. Have not played any dance games.
