Just Dance 2022

Lore & Background

As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers (excluding the ninth generation consoles and Stadia) or the game's associated smartphone app. The Stadia version also allows the use of a gamepad and a keyboard for menu navigation. Its user interface and features are largely identical to those of Just Dance 2019, Just Dance 2020 and Just Dance 2021, with the mechanics being the same as 2021. Unlike the other games, the game features 3D pre-rendered backgrounds.

In Their Own Story

The virtual stage lights dim until a single spotlight hits the center, where a group of animated dancers awaits your command. As the opening beat drops, the camera pans out to reveal a kaleidoscope of colors swirling around them, reflecting the energy of the music. You raise your controller, feeling the rhythm pulse through the screen, and begin to move in perfect unison with the characters. For this moment, there are no boundaries—only the shared joy of movement and the collective spirit of the dance floor.
