My gals really like to dance. So far, their type of movement is in no real danger of being classified as actual “dancing.” Nevertheless, they do it as only the Wee Set can: with wild abandon. (I’ve been taking notes.)
Nora was beyond thrilled to help me review the new Just Dance Disney Party Wii game. (Susannah was- as she so often is during these events- confused but excited.)
As we were loading the game, Nora grilled me on the Need To Know deets: Could she dance to Beauty and The Beast? Was Tinkerbell there? How about Ariel? And what about Beauty and The Beast? Was there Belle? How about The Beast? (For her part, Suzy was already clutching the Wii mote and swaying in place.)
Turns out, the game did have Beauty and The Beast songs. (And allll of the other classic Disney gems.) But there were “modern” Disney songs as well. Plus those which I shall refer to as The Ones For The Kids Who Watch The Tween Disney Channel Shows. There was the option for choosing solo songs. Playlists could be made or selected at random. And there was a Bubble Mode (more on that later).
We started small, with Be Our Guest. Nora chose the gal avatar and grudgingly allowed me to help her out for the first song. (Because she’s three.) We followed our movements along with the magically glowing onscreen hands. To tell the truth, the first couple of dances were really funny to witness, because Nora was pretty intent on just watching the first few “shows.” I’ve attached a video of Nora and Suzy watching in utter awe for their first duetMary Poppins song. They were so blown away that they forgot to dance. (Except for one hilarious moment where they twitched in unison.) Behold:
Then came the bubble mode. You still dance, but you get to pop bubbles while you dance. To the girl who attempts to squish all incoming parcels in the hopes that they consist of bubble wrap…this was a plus. A triple plus. (And I was talking about Nora, thankyouverymuch.)
I dig that this game will age nicely with them; as little kids, they love the classic Disney tunes. As tweens, they’ll looove the Disney channel hits. And, as adults, they’ll go back to liking the “oldies” again.
(And I’ll be the old lady frenetically popping bubbles with my Wii mote arm.)
