Just Dance is a surprisingly fun and energetic way to exercise at home.

Did you know Just Dance is the number one music video game franchise of all time?

With an unlimited edition, you’ll have access to more than 700 songs. It’s an amazing dance-on-demand streaming service.

You’ll learn authentic dance moves- often the ones that might appear in the original music video. Sometimes you can select the character who’s you follow along. As the song progresses, you’ll be rewarded with points, compliments and feedback. If you’re a little competitive, then you may find yourself wanting to improve on your last score.

You can dance in the classic Just Dance game mode which includes a kid’s version, sweat mode (burn calories) and co-op mode. You can compete against other players in the multiplayer dance party and dance battles.

Just Dance was originally a Nintendo Wii exclusive, but with popularity it has moved to all of the other major consoles. This year, you can look forward to exclusive collaborations with Todrick Hall, TikTok phenomenon, Ayo and Teo, the talented dancers from the 1M studio and K/DA.

After downloading the app to your burner phone, just hold it in your hand so it can detect your movements. Then find a song you’d like to dance to and follow the moves shown on your television.

The Just Dance Controller app uses phone scoring technology and allows up to six players to join in. You can download it for free on iOS and Android™.

I danced along to Sia’s Chandelier, Justin Timberlake’s Rock Your Body, Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night, Billy Eilish’s Happier than Ever, Taylor Swift’s Love Story and more. 

I was surprised how easy it was to score well on some of my favourite songs. (Perhaps all those years of following an aerobics instructor have helped). Depending on the song you select, the moves can be slow and easy, or fast at tempo with complex choreography.


Just Dance a great dancing-on-demand game with on-trend music and moves, with lots of advanced technology behind the scenes. 

Just Dance 2022 will offer a Digital Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Digital Edition on all platforms. Available on Nintendo Switch™ system, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
