This new kiosk is exclusively manufactured for Photo-Me in the UK/Ireland and throughout Europe.

Dance Heads started life in 2004 as an interactive entertainment system, letting party-goers lip-synch songs while superimposing their heads on professional dancers' bodies. The new Dance Heads recording booth combines the original concept with the privacy and ease-of-use of a traditional, arcade photo booth.

The first booth in the UK has been trialled in the centre:mk, at Milton Keynes.

Steve Merrikin, National Commercial Manager (UK Operations) of Photo-Me, commented on the decision to use the centre:mk: "The idea behind Dance Heads is to give ordinary members of the public the thrill of becoming a pop star in their own music video. Milton Keynes is a fantastic city in which to launch our product to the UK market, it's seen as a city of firsts and the population are used to adopting new ideas."

The machine is already proving popular; within two days of the machine being installed, visitors from Finland who witnessed the operation contacted Photo-Me with the intention of importing it.

More sites are now planned at shopping centres around the UK - including Brewery Romford, Pentagon Chatham, Oracle Reading, Guildhall Exeter, Buttermarket Ipswich and Oak Mall Greenock.
