What’s better than a chorus line of voice activated dancing R2-D2 droids?

BIGDPRODUKTIONS has video of a R2-D2 dancing to The Imperial March.

R2D2 Astromech blog has a video of a dancing R2-D2 at Maker Faire 2008.

Want your own dancing R2-D2? The Star Wars Interactive Electronic R2-D2 Astromech Droid is available on Amazon or you can build your own.

I always love watching little kids interact with R2-D2. ;-)
