Gameplay

Just Dance's gameplay is simple, the objective of the game is to mimic the dancer on screen, using the Wii Remote to do the same movements as does the dancer does. The main mode, Quick Play, is the best mode if you're playing alone. Simply play the game as you normally would. The game has three different challenge modes each involving dancing against other players or by yourself, and obtaining points depending on your placement. "Normal", where the player simply picks one song and dances, "Last One Standing", where the player takes doesn't scores many points or makes too many mistakes is eliminated and the last one standing wins and "Strike a Pose" mode, where the players start or stop dancing as dictated by the on-screen dancer. There is also a "Practice" mode, where the player trains the songs without keeping score.
