Gameplay

Further information: Gameplay of the Just Dance series

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 backgrounds. (not stereoscopic.)
