ABBA You Can Dance ~ Review and Party!

The kids and I just love all the Just Dance games for the Wii. I like them because not only are you playing a game you're getting a workout too! The boys like the dancing games because they get to laugh at how bad of a dancer mommy is... Ha! Oh well, at least it's fun right?



So I knew that we would have fun with the ABBA You Can Dance game. We even had a whole dance party! I tried to get everyone to dress up 70's style... But none of us had any 70's kind of clothes. So we just went with the comfy look. I loaded up on tons of snack foods, we had tons and tons of chips and dips, hot wings, cheesesticks, taquitos, jalepeno poppers, and pies for dessert! You can never go wrong with chips and pie.

I didn't really know how to decorate for a 70's ABBA party. But obviously a disco ball is a must have!





After we all got done pigging out we were more than ready to burn some calories and get our boogie on! I was surprised that I only knew a few of the songs. But even more surprised that my two 11 yr old nieces knew ALL the songs! Apparently all these dance songs are on that Mama Mia movie, that I never saw. I have boys! They aren't interested in musical movies about girly love stuff. Either way - you don't have to know all the songs to boogie down! But if you happen to have a Mama Mia fan, they are going to love this game.







I loved all the little extras that are in this game, like the ABBA videos playing in the background while you dance, the options to have group dances, the different characters you can pick to be your avatar, 25 songs to choose from, the ABBA photos, a way to play with a storyline, AND it has karaoke!! The young girls really really wanted to try out the karaoke but we decided to save it for a later time. It looked really cool though, we just ran out of time!

The kids had so much fun with the group dances. And my 10 yr old really appreciated having the option to pick a guy to be his avatar. He refuses to dance if he has to be a girl!

I finally had to wrestle the controllers away from the youngin's and try the dancin' out for myself! Even though I didn't know any of the songs the dances were fun! My sister and I were cracking up as I was falling all over myself. Coordinated I am not. Gavin took some pics of us and all the ones with me in them are blurry, except this one -





We all just had a blast with this game! If you're still Christmas shopping this would make a great gift for any family. Or get it for yourself and throw a fun 70's party! You can get it right at Toys R Us.

    Love it! I got this and cannot wait to try it out. Looks so much fun! :)

    p.s. Been a while since I've been by, so I don't know when you re-did, but love the look! The colors are great!
