"If you wanna party, then you can Just Dance!"

Just Dance 2023 Edition (simply known as Just Dance in-game), the fourteenth game in Ubisoft's dance game series, where future content was added via online updates. It introduces a story-based mode in the form of a playlist titled "Enter the Danceverses", and also features a new streaming service called Just Dance +, serving as the replacement for Just Dance Unlimited.

To do:

  • There's more unused content to cover and add.
  • Revisional differences between the title screens, menus and added content in the annual songpacks (2023 Edition, 2024 Edition, 2025 Edition, 2026 Edition).

Scrapped Name#

  • Concept art for the game refers to the game as "JDNEXT", implying that its original name was Just Dance Next.
    • This is also shown by the codenames of Boy With Luv and Toxic, which are respectively "BoyWithLuvNext" and "ToxicNext".
    • A potential logo for Just Dance Next can be found in the game files for the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

Unused Graphics#

Ports#

Scrapped PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports#

  • Leftover files for PS4 and Xbox One ports for the game were found in the Just Dance Unlimited servers, implying that the game might have been intended to return to these consoles.

Unused Stadia Controller Selection Guide Graphic#

  • There exists an unused controller selection guide image for the cancelled Google Stadia port of the game, which is never used.

Songs#

Stay#

  • An unused coach selection image can be found in the game files.

Walking On Sunshine#

Careful, you'll lose an eye.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

  • An unused coach selection image can be found in the game servers.

Wannabe (Alternate Version)#

  • An early cover and logo can be found in the files of the game.

Witch#

  • The first public builds of Just Dance 2023 Edition used an early version of the routine, where there are no spotlights on the four hypnotized coaches, the soldiers surrounding the center stage did not stop walking, and Mihaly erroneously appeared in the portal to Rather Be. This was fixed on November 21, 2022, upon the release of the Day 1 patch.
