How it works
The content in Just Dance is suitable for young children, however it has been said that some dance moves are ‘suggestive’ and the lyrics in some songs are worth parents being aware of – for example they may reference drinking.
Recent editions have removed the dedicated ‘Kids Mode’, though parents can still find curated ‘Family’ playlists within the song library. A player can pay a monthly or annual Just Dance+ subscription to access more songs.
The game can be played:
• Alone
• In person with other players using console controllers
• Online in private groups with friends (online subscription required)
• Through public matchmaking with strangers in the virtual reality version
Players can communicate using ‘emote stickers’, which are short animations. Players in virtual reality can voice chat.
Parental controls or safety settings available
A player may need a Ubisoft account to play Just Dance online. Parents can link their Ubisoft account to a child’s account to access the ‘Family Center’ section of the account and from here they can manage safety settings such as spending limits and managing friend requests, which are applied to their child’s account. They may be able to see how long their child has been playing. Additional safety settings may be available through the gaming platform used to play Just Dance on e.g. Nintendo Switch.
