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.

It was fun Posted 27 February 2009
It was fun however you have to take the foot sensors off in order for another person to play with you. FYI don't let the dog in the room b/c he will want to play and mess you up. It happens every time we play, the dog walk right in front of the TV so the game cant read you movements.
Great! Posted 03 February 2009
We got this for our daughter, but it is so fun, we do it with her. It was also at a great price.
Not worth it Posted 27 January 2009
I got it for a discount around Christmas last year. The quality of this product is BAD. When I opened it, it looks used, with little scratches everywhere over the plastic surfaces. When I turn it on, there's a static noise in the background that I cannot get rid of, it may be that I got a defective product.
I guess this game can be fun for some people, but after only a few songs to choose from, it gets boring fast.
Not worth the money, returned mine for full refund. Bad product, but good Amazon cust service.

Gets your blood pumping! Helps with agility. The lounge is fun!!! Need to get used to the sensors - foot/eye coordination.
Can't give educational & durability rating.
