Let's Dance! Magic Dance

**Let's Dance! Magic Dance** (***踊ろう！マジックダンス***) is an assortment of electronic plush toys made by Tomy in 2005 for the Japanese market.

Each of the Boohbahs perform a variety of different dance moves, dance along to six of their own unique tunes, and can respond to the user's voice. They are also equipped with RFID chips that allow them to interact with each other and dance together.

## Modes of play

When played with as a standalone, there are three default ways to play:

### Dance Together! (一緒に踊ろう！)

Pressing either the Boohbah's hand or foot will make them go into a dance routine with the intent of getting the user to follow along. Their dance might be comprised of up to three of any of these movements (sometimes, one of their moves is a combination of two):

* Twisting their body
* Shaking their body
* Shimmying
* Bouncing up and down
* Tilting/swaying from side to side
* Putting their feet together and apart
* Side-stepping
* Moving their arms up and down or back and forth
* Rolling their head in a circle
* Bobbing their head from side to side

As they dance, their moves are accentuated by their eyes moving from side to side, their eyebrows flashing, and noises like squeals, squeaks, and sometimes poofs.

### Freeze Dance! (フリーズダンス！)

Pressing the Boohbah's hand may enable this mode, where a tune plays for them and the user to dance to. Twice or thrice into the dance, the music pauses and the Boohbah freezes to a stop, encouraging the user to stop dancing too before the music turns back on. When the music is on and it's time to dance, the Boohbah's eyebrows emit a green light; when it's time to freeze, the Boohbah's eyebrows emit a red light.

### Boohbah! (ブーバー！)

Pressing the Boohbah's foot may enable this mode, where much like the Boohbahs do on the show, they magically respond to the user shouting out either their name or the word "Boohbah!". Calling them one time will get them to start dancing, while calling them again will get them to stop.

When two or more Boohbahs are together, the following mode is unlocked:

### Follow the Leader (リーダーに従う)

Pressing one Boohbah's hand with another (or maybe even two, three, or all four others) in close proximity will make the first Boohbah to be activated start dancing first, with the others joining them in unison.

### Other functions

* Knocking the Boohbah over will cause them to make a "poof" ("Pfft!") sound, while picking them back up will cause them to squeal ("Whoo-ooo!").
* Turning the Boohbah on by pressing their hand or foot for the first time will cause either the magic chant ("Boohbah...") or a power hum to sound.

## Notes

* Many of the movements and songs are lifted from Hasbro's Dance Along Boohbahs.
* In 2008, Tomy UK would incorporate most of the same functions from the Let's Dance! Magic Dance Boohbahs into their Dance with Me Teletubbies. While the Teletubbies have less movements than the Boohbahs and lack a voice activation mode, they both share a freeze dance mode, one moveset, and a tilt sensor.
