Dance.js - The Barchart Dance

Dance.js is dancing based on data. It's much like Backbone.js, but with a foundation for building interactive visualizations in the spirit of D3.js. It comes with Data.js, a uniform interface for handling your domain data.

Hi,
Is there any quick way to to make the bars horizontal without digging too much into the code?
Thanks!
