How to unlock the Beat Down achievement in Dance Central 3 - Definitive Guide
Beat Down
Got this playing party mode (with 2 people) and as far as I know this MUST be done with 2 players... Let me know if you find out otherwise.
In party mode you can select they type of mode with you left hand at the bottom left of the screen. You can also skip the song on the bottom right of the screen.
After selecting "Party mode?"
Hold your left arm out at a 45 degree angle on you side and swipe across your lower torso to change the game mode.
The "Mode" is displayed in the lower middle part of the screen under the album art of the current song. You'll see modes like Perform, Battle, Keep the Beat, etc...
Keep changing the Mode until you come across Keep the Beat.
Then give your partner a high five to start the song. (I've only played 2 player so far so I will update with a single player solution)
Once the song starts it's relativly easy to get a score higher than 450,000.
The point of Keep the Beat is to simply move your 4 appendages to the.... Beat of the song that's playing. Make sure you just bounce, shimmy, jump and jive to the relative beat and you should get this no problem... keep in mind the songs are shorter when playing Party Mode too.
If you feel this solution is incomplete or missing something please comment below.

My wife and I played this together, and I was feeling exceptionally sleepy so I was just standing there flapping my arms against my side to the beat.
I not only earned the achievement, I also beat her score (even though she was trying!)

You can choose to play the full length songs in Party mode if you go to the options menu while in Party mode. There should be an option somewhere in there

I was able to Unlock this achievement just now entirely by accident while playing through story mode. It was my first time through story mode, and I was playing solo on Easy.
After facing off with Dr. Tan and the shortened crazes, you'll dance through "OMG". After clearing that, you'll be told to trap him in the timestream by dancing with the beat. This will take you to the same screen you saw each time you were sent back to a new era.
Unfortunately I had no score indicator on screen to see how I was doing, and therefore didn't even know I was being tracked. but after Dr. Tan was defeated the achievement popped. Then the final cutscenes played followed by the credits.

This requires 2 people or a fake person.
Keep the Beat can be found in Party Mode or Crew Throwdown. This mode is simply you and your partner creating your own routine to the beat of the song. You get more points by being on beat, so listen for the beat and do simple moves to the beat in order to get a large number of points. I would recommend something simple like side steps while clapping. The required score is pretty low compared to what you could possibly get.
