Now you can waltz with Leo, Brad or Beyoncé... sort of

Tokyo — You can waltz with Leo, pirouette to Swan Lake or join Beyoncé on the disco floor. Well, your holograms can, at Tokyo's Madame Tussauds wax museum.

The Tokyo location of the museums known for their life-sized celebrity figures in wax opened a dancing hologram attraction on Thursday.

Visitors can waltz and disco with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Marilyn Monroe, or pirouette in a Swan Lake ballet with Olympics figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu.

Participants get a 3D face scan, which is transposed onto a hologram dancer for the 90-second presentation.

The attraction is one of the ways the centuries-old museum is exploring of interacting with celebrities in a digital age.

Museum General Manager Toshi Endo said the current roster of three dances and six celebrities will expand by midyear.
