Put Your Best Foot Forward
Tiger Electronics' U-Dance interactive video game encourages your child to get off the couch and practice real dance moves like sweeps, jumps, slides, and crossovers without the need for a mat or any other game controller. Instead, the U-Dance uses lightweight Motion Tags that slip over your child's shoes. The reflective surface on the Motion Tags is read by the Motion Tower placed next to your television and follows the movements of your child's feet. Set-up is easy. Simply use a Philips screwdriver to insert 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment located on one of the three tower pieces, snap the three tower pieces together, and place it in front of your television. Next, connect the provided AV cables to any regular television set and slide the On/Off switch on the back of the Motion Tower to "on." Finally, slip the elastic bands of the Motion Tags over your child's shoes so that they are positioned on top of each foot. Be sure to keep pant cuffs out of the way and avoid wearing shoes with reflective detailing as this might cause interference between the Motion Tower and the Motion Tags. Now you're child is ready to get down! Get Into The Groove
The U-Dance provides three modes of dance-oriented game play for one or two players. In the beginning, your child may find the foot-eye coordination a little difficult to get used to. So, to warm up and get familiar with the game, your child may want to start with one of two mini-game modes. In the Lounge mode your child can practice moving with the Motion Tags by kicking lounge lizards out of the spotlight indicated on the screen. In the Workout mode they must step on diamonds while avoiding hazards on a moving treadmill. While both of the mini-game modes are entertaining, neither is as fun and exciting as the main game mode, the Dance Floor. In this mode, your child may choose to warm up with a basic tutorial provided at the beginning of the game. Once your child has completed the tutorial they will be sent back to the main Dance Floor menu where they can choose from three difficulty levels and several upbeat songs before heading to the dance floor. On the dance floor the goal is to match foot movements with the target feet on the screen. As the song progresses, your child's progress is scored for accuracy and timing by the Dance Meter. If they successfully dance their way through a song, they will have their overall performance scored by the judges. If not, they may choose to repeat the same song or choose another from the main menu. As your child makes their way through the various songs and different levels of difficulty their performance can be saved so they can review their progress. What's in the Box
Motion Tower, Motion Tags, and AV cables.

 Fun for adults!!!! January 6, 2009

I bought this for my son for Christmas and have used it more than he does. It's a fun way to get some exercise. I'm having the girls over and we're going to have some drinks and a U Dance off. I don't usually take the time to review products, but I feel this product deserves my time.
Happy Dancing!! Amazon.com has the best price that I have seen on this item.

Bought this for 13 yr old niece. She has taken dance classes for years. Due to economy had to quit. She has really enjoyed this and so has her dad. Her mom(my sister) said that they enjoy doing this together. I expected niece to enjoy but her dad is not the dancing type. Very happy to have gotten her a gift she really likes. Recommend this to anyone who likes to dance. Even younger age 5 would like.
 Fun for the whole family January 6, 2009

My husband and I weren't sure if it would be too advanced for our children, 5 & 7, but we wanted something that would get them on their feet, and given the other pricier choices out there we went ahead and got this game. My daughter who is turning 7 this month, has already gotten the hang of it, and enjoys more than anything else the challenge, since you either get "cleared" or you get a message to "keep practicing". My 5 yr old, is getting the hang of it as well, he gets mostly "keep practicing", but he has gotten "cleared" about 3 times and when this happens you can see the satisfaction on his face/body!.
The songs are ok, I guess it is a matter of personal preference, and there seem to be enough to choose from for different tastes. My kids like "you've got to MOve it", since its the theme song of Madagascar 1.
Lastly, although we did not buy this for the adults in the house, I have probably used it as much, or even more, than my children, and I am still only at level 1. Which is something that I think is great, because you know you won't get bored with it anytime soon, as there are 3 levels, and 3 different types of games (dance floor, lounge, work out). We have merely scratched the surface.
So I definitely recommended for most ages!
Fun to play, more fun to watch being played!! January 6, 2009
