We can already be certain that there will be a ‘Just Dance 2021’ next year, but what can we expect from such a game? Read on to find out everything we know.

Just Dance 2021 Gameplay

‘Just Dance 2020’ is a rhythm dance game that is very easy to learn but hard to master. The control scheme is as simple as possible – the player must imitate the dance moves of an on screen avatar while using motion controllers that track your body’s movements. Depending on the song you choose and the difficulty level, the on screen dancer’s choreography can vary greatly, and some of the more difficult sequences require extraordinary physical dexterity and coordination to complete successfully.

As for the motion controller, you can use whichever one your platform of choice affords you including the PS Move on the PlayStation 4, the Wii Remote on the Nintendo Wii, Xbox gamepad + Kinect on the Xbox One and the Joy-Cons on the Nintendo Switch. Conveniently, you can also use your own smartphone as a motion tracking device using the Just Dance Controller App, which is also the only control scheme offered to you on the game’s Google Stadia version. The cooperative mode even allows you to use this feature to have a dance off with your friends.

‘Just Dance 2020’ features a lot of the popular chart toppers from 2019 including 365 by Zedd and Katy Perry, 7 Rings by Ariana Grande, Bad Guy by Billie Eilish, I Don’t Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, Old Town Road (Remix) by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus and more. Also included are classics such as Just an Illusion by Equinox Stars, Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) by the Backstreet Boys, Rain Over Me by Pitbull featuring Marc Anthony, etc. The Just Dance Unlimited subscription based service also returns in ‘Just Dance 2020’, allowing you access to new exclusive songs as well as songs from previous ‘Just Dance’ games.

‘Just Dance 2021’ will feature the same easy to learn, hard to master gameplay that the series has polished for over a decade. Undoubtedly, it will also feature some of the most popular foot tapping singles and chart topping numbers from the year 2020 from some of the biggest pop artists on the planet. With an expanded Just Dance Unlimited service, players will have a practically inexhaustible selection of songs to get their groove on.

One possible new feature than could greatly enhance the ‘Just Dance’ experience would be the possible addition of Virtual Reality (VR) support. With more and more VR headsets going wireless these days such as the Oculus Go, Oculus Quest, and the Vive Pro, a VR dance experience is now very much within the realms of reality. The potential here is immense – imagine getting on the floor with digital recreations of your favorite music stars and busting a move with them to your favorite tunes.

Now, I don’t mean to appear big-headed, but I’m quite something on the dance floor. I’m known in certain more prestigious artistic movements for my signature moves such as The Huckleberry Shuffle, Walking a Frog in the Dark, and D-d-d-don’t stand on my toes, baby!

What do you mean, “you haven’t heard of them?”

Okay, truthfully, I’m a terrible dancer, but what I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm. Fortunately, this well-established franchise rewards enthusiasm above all else, and (even for someone north of 30) there’s a huge amount of enjoyment to be had cutting shapes to some stone-cold classics in the name of fun.

If you’re not into dancing – and let’s face it, not a 14-year-old girl – you might not actually know what all the fuss is about. Just Dance is a music rhythm game where you imitate dance routines displayed on the screen by real dancers. Much like other dancing arcade classics like Dance Dance Revolution, you’re scored appropriately based on how well you time your movements, and you’ll accumulate a total score which will determine a one to five-star rating. However, unlike other rhythm games like DDR, Just Dance is so much less about the score and so much more about getting stupid with your friends.

Critically, it’s done a fantastic job of making what’s happening on the screen a visual feast, and every video is themed in its visual style, exploding with colour and vibrancy. The choreography is incredible, and though I floundered like a sweaty octopus, the different song difficulties meant I was able to identify suitable performances for my level. The way the Switch recognises your hand movement means you can always be a little bit off and interpret these moves in a way natural to you. As someone with about as much flexibility as a stick of Brighton rock, I appreciated its forgiving nature, let me tell you.

Of course, a music rhythm game is only ever as good as its song selection, and considering the target audience of Just Dance, you might be concerned that the only tunes you’re going to find here will be from trashy pop artists and internet zeitgeists. Okay, I’ll level with you, there is quite a bit of that. The core 40 song tracklist features superstars such as Harry Styles, Sean Paul, and Dua Lipa, but there’s also a good selection of K-Pop, Rap, EDM, and even Disney classics for kids (and big kids) to enjoy. Honestly, if these 40 songs were all that was on offer, I’d say the staying power of this title would be minimal, but Just Dance has an ace up its sleeve in a subscription-based service called Just Dance Unlimited that expands the library of songs available to a whopping 550. Once you overcome the initially daunting challenge of navigating such a huge selection, it becomes clear what an epic game you now have on your hands. Countless other genres, with songs collected from all the other Just Dance entries, will ensure there really is something for everyone. I found myself teleported back to my primary school disco days, rocking out to “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” and Paul Johnson’s “Get Get Down” – two songs I really never expected to find here. Naturally, this service comes at a price, and passes are available for anywhere between 24 hours and one year, costing between £2.50 and £19.99. One month is included free with your purchase of the game, so there’s plenty of time to see if it’s worth it for you.

Nintendo Switch Just Dance 2021 Songs

As a solo player, I treated my daily dose of Just Dance as cardio, and it’s truly a brilliant way to get the heart pumping. But let’s be honest, this is a game designed to be played with others, and because this version of the game can be played with just one Joy-Con in your hand, two people can play together in co-op mode without any additional accessories. Furthermore, smartphones can be utilised for additional players, meaning up to 6 people can play at any one time in this edition. Painfully, there’s no real online multiplayer option here, although there is a “World Dance Floor” that allows you to take on other players online for the top spot in miniature tournaments. Whether they’re playing live or you’re playing against their recorded scores, I couldn’t be sure.

Finally, to create some sort of advancement in the game, there is a progression system included. As you dance to songs, you’ll be awarded XP, levelling you up and unlocking stickers, aliases, avatar backgrounds – loads of stuff to keep kids entertained. For the record, my adopted alias is “Potato Dancer,” which is frankly spot on.

Look, I took a gamble on this because I’ve been locked away on my own for too long and I’m getting fat. What I wasn’t quite expecting here was the rounded, high-quality experience Just Dance 2021 has to offer. Granted, the core collection of songs will provide limited entertainment outside of the key demographic, but the availability of the Unlimited Pass is fantastic, the visuals are masterful, and the choreography has been expertly crafted. I’m no John Travolta, but thanks to Just Dance I sure as heck felt like him.

Put on your dancing shoes ’cause Just Dance 2021 is here to show you how to move. With superb visuals and varied choreography, it’s only a lack of online play and a limited core song list that hold it back.
