Do you think Otto's irresistable dance would work as a spell-like ability for these guys?

How's this?
Buzzing Bee (Sp): A juvenile or older pink dragon can conjure a small but extremely loud bee to buzz around the head of a single target within X feet. This creates an unnerving noise that disrupts the subject's concentration. The subject is distracted and takes a -10 penalty on Move Silently checks. Creatures that can't hear are not distracted. The DC of Concentration checks to cast spells or maintain concentration while distracted is equal to this spell's DC + the level of the spell being cast. The bee has a fly speed of 180 feet (perfect). It remains near the subject in spite of darkness, invisibility, polymorph, cover, concealment, or any other attempt at disguising or hiding. The bee remains until the spell's duration expires or the subject moves out of range. The bee can't be attacked, but it can be dispelled.
Other Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—tongues (adult or older); 1/day—feeblemind (ancient or older), Tasha's hideous laughter (old or older), Otto's irrisistible dance (great wyrm).

That sounds good.
How's this look for the spellcasting?
Spells: A pink dragon does not gain spells known like other true dragons. Instead, it may select one 0- or 1st-level spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list at each age category. It may cast a number of spells per day equal to its age category, in any combination. Thus, a juvenile pink dragon could select ghost sound, mage armor, magic missle, and prestidigitation, and can cast four of these spells per day in any combination. Caster level is indicated on the table above.
Would allowing it to cast a number of times per day equal to age category + Cha modifier be too much?

Pathetic Presence (Su): Pink dragons do not possess the frightful presence ability of other true dragons. Instead, a young adult or older dragon projects an aura of pity when it attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 30 feet x the dragon’s age category are subject to the effect if they have more HD than the dragon. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 dragon’s HD + dragon’s Cha modifier) remains immune to that dragon’s pathetic presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures take a -2 penalty on attacks against the dragon, seeing it as weak, pathetic, and barely worth the effort of slaying. Dragons ignore the pathetic presence of pink dragons.
