Move the left arm and she grooooves. That's the First Principal...
Dancing Pippas come with a little instruction booklet on how to get your Pippa to bust a move. It's difficult to find a played with doll that can still shake it. If you ever start collecting you'll want one, but she ain't no Red Hot Momma.
Dancing Pippa's legs are different in appearance to other Pippa dolls. Instead of jointed vinyl legs they are rubbery and seemingly unjointed. If you bend the knee it should click into place, but even on a boxed doll it's hard to find one where the 'clicks' still hold.
Usual faults found in dancing dolls, as well as the knee problem, is that the waist twist is often broken. Also, the dolls' heads often tilt up from the chin - jaunty or demented, you decide.
On moving the left arm up and down Pippa's head should move from side to side. If you hold her just so then she'll do the twist with a twitch of her waist. The doll also walks and even has a special dance(!), which is quite tricky to perfect.
