Just Dance Kids Giveaway-NOW CLOSED

November 22, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 117 Comments

We are a dancing family. Two of us were on drill teams and three of us were on college ballroom dance teams. We love to dance and we’re not scared to show it. About a month ago my sister was in a competition at work with the other Vice Presidents to see who would be the champion of “Just Dance” while dressed up as past cast members from Dancing with the stars (she was a pregnant Bristol Palin). We had a crazy fun time practicing for her competition so when I was asked to review “Just Dance Kids” I jumped at the chance!

We started off with my 3 year old, 7 year old niece and their aunt. My son dropped out quickly not quite understanding he was supposed to copy the people on the tv (who were real kids BTW not animation, my sister was really surprised by that). He just watched, but my niece and sister had a great time.

We found there were three different modes: dance party (continuous songs without returning to menu), freeze and shake mode (gain extra points for shaking or standing still when queued), and team play (dance together for one score). The team play option may be good for smaller kids who feel bad when they lose. Then everyone can just celebrate what a big score they got together.

It didn’t take long for us to wear out the kids and then it was the aunts turn to try it out. I think they may have had more fun than the kids. I had a good time watching and collecting blackmail footage.

Being the only one not participating in the dancing (too paranoid two weeks after a c-section) I noticed that there were words to the songs at the bottom of the screen and began to sing along. It’s the prefect little karaoke opportunity for those who don’t want to or can’t dance.

After playing for a while we realized that whoever was holding the green controller got a considerable advantage and usually won. There was one point, as you can see in the video below, where my son actually put his controller away on the charger and still won his cousin who danced the entire time. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the controllers, but it was odd. We are not sure how the scoring is recorded and how to get the highest score, but we sure had a lot of fun.

Afterward, I asked my niece what she thought of the game.
She said, “It was awesome!”
“Oh, so you liked it?” I said.
“I didn’t like it, I loved it!” she said.
“What was your favorite part?” I said.
“I liked the ABC song.”

Won’t she be surprised when she finds this under the tree!!
