Making the Caracters dance

[Mylene]

Hello,

Each trip, we try to make picture taking a little different and this year, we had the idea of filming my son dancing with each caracter we meet Do you think the caracter will agree to do a few dance step with him in front of the camera?? Should we ask the castmember first?? We even have a small speaker playing a dance version of Zip-a-dee-doo-dah to inspire them! Thank you for your help!

i think if there isn't a huge line and you explain that you are making a video montage of your son dancing with each character, they certainly would. Never hurts to ask. I would mention it to the CM before your son's turn comes up, that way they can mention it to the character and they can be prepared.and understand what you are doing. : )

I would also think if its hot out to reconsider that--- imagine how hot they must be in that costume then have to excert more heat by dancing--

I bet most would do a bit of a hand waving shuffle. Asking them to engage in an actual dance routine is a tall order in some of those outfits. But if your son dances in front of them I suspect almost all would realize what you are doing and would mimic as much of the dance as they could so long as it is simple.

You could have him hold they hands and step close while swinging his arms wide, then step back and close his arms. Would look like a dance without demanding mch from the character.

May I ask, how old is your son?

Sadly, it would also look much like every school dance I ever attended, up until high school.

Thank you for your answers! Happy to see that it might work and that we will not only look like weirdos

My son is 10. I was not planing on a choregraphy or anything like that!! Just a few dance moves kind like that !!!

I just have this image of Yosemite Sam pointing a pair of pistols at their feet and shouting "Dance, you varmints, dance!"

Your son might want to participate in the Frontierland Hoedown, too.

I hope you ran this idea by your son, lol. I know a lot of 10 yr old boys that would be totally embarrassed by this. But, I also know a few that would ham it up! Good luck!!

I think I'd have to bribe ds9 to even pose in a character picture!

Duffy was doing a little dance while waiting for us to approach. His handler told him to cut it out because there were people waiting. I said "I'll dance with you Duffy" and he proceeded to take my hands and dance with me. Of course the lines weren't very long.

For most characters it shouldn't be a problem... here are some dancing photos I have:

Platypus dance with Agent P

Hoedown with Phineas and Ferb

Limbo with Captain Hook

Salsa with Jose

Ballet with June

I know I have a photo of myself doing the Tango with someone - but my mind is at a blank at the moment!

EDIT:

Tango with Br'er Fox
