Abstract
A breakdance doll (10) has a body (11) having a back (12), buttocks (13), and a neck (38) joining a head (40) to the body (11). The back (12) has a laterally extending slot (24) positioned between chest height and the buttocks (13). A rotatable drive wheel (22) extends from the slot (24) and is connected to a motor (26) mounted in the body (11) above the slot (24) by shaft (28). The motor (26) and a battery (36) are positioned to provide a suitable weight distribution for the doll (10), so that the doll (10) will pivot about a point (16) on the back (12) above the slot (24) as the drive wheel (22) rotates.
