This alias must be a glitchy one! Mine isn't even tracking the songs I have danced to on the Switch. It's still sitting on 0.
Glad im not the only one having this issue. Hopefully it will get fixed soon :(
Did you do every dance twice? Did you do every dance twice off of the WDF?Quote:

Mine is funny. I just did the 40th main dance today. When I checked on the Knows Every Dance alias, it said I was at 8/40. I wondered if maybe it's because I've only done most of the dances one time. Yet when I browsed the catalog, it seemed like I have done 6 of the dances twice, which is close to 8, but not quite...

Have you done the dances outside of the WDF? Have you done any dances two times off of the WDF? For some stats and awards, the game doesn't seem to count dances from the WDF.
Does your avatar, skin, and alias revert back to basic ones after every dance that you do? If you have this issue, if you try dancing with a different profile, that might resolve it. If so, you might test this out.
Hi greekphysics!
Thanks for the reply! I have only been on the WDF once so far, but have danced to around 10 tracks - most of them twice. I got the avatars and stickers okay, just nothing on the tracker.
It's weird but the badge that tracks dances to duets seems to be bugged too. I guess I'll keep dancing and see what happens. :D
Cheers!
Well, this is weird. Last year, there was a bug with one of the aliases (Gotta Get 'Em All, I think), but that problem seemed to be caused by cross-platform play.
With JD 2021, the issue with Knows Every Dance doesn't seem to have anything to do with cross-platform play. Using a profile that has only ever used Xbox Kinect, my progress shows 8/40 for this alias even though I've done all 40 main dances. I can't seem to find an explanation for how it is counting the 8 (if I could, that might offer some clue).
Could it be tied to the score you get? Like it might only be recognising over certain scores? *shrug*
It doesn't seem likely to be tied to the score. Even hitting megastars on 40/40 of the main dances, it still shows 8/40 as the progress toward this alias. (I have way more than 8 dances with scores above 13k, so even if the magic score was 13k, it would not appear to explain why my progress is 8/40.) I did two dances yesterday for the second time and my progress remains 8/40, so it doesn't seem to be related to dancing to the song twice.
To add to the mystery... The Dancing With My Friends alias says to dance to all 9 JD 2021 duets (no kids versions). I've done all of them except for the alternate to Samba De Janeiro, yet my progress bar says that I've done 3 out of 9. For some reason, it is counting 3, but not the others. Curiously, I happen to have danced to 6 of the songs as coach 1 and 3 of the songs as coach 2 (one of the dances I have tried both coaches 1 and 2). I doubt that it's only counting duets where I tried coach #2, but since I happen to have done that on exactly 3 dances, I'll try one of them with coach 2 one of these days to (probably) rule that out.
Another interesting one is The Specialist, which asks me to do all 11 alternates. Today, this correctly showed 0/11 because I hadn't tried any alternates before today. Just now, I danced to my first alternate and this went up to 1/11. So it does still seem to be recording dance progress, at least with some of these aliases...
I've also unlocked 8 of the green aliases that require dancing to some combination of songs (I've only done one Unlimited dance so far, so these are from 2021 dances).
It would really be frustrating to be stuck at 39. It's like when you get a score of 12,999 after a dance, but at lest we know how to change the 12,999 into a 13,000... Here it seems like the 39 will never turn into a 40...
Hey there guys!
I apologised for the delayed response. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences of this issue within this thread.
Concerning the issue with the "Knows Every Dance" Alias not unlocking in-game, the development team are aware of this issue and they are currently investigating this further. At this moment, we have no further information to share regarding the investigation. Once we have an update from the development team, we will share it within this thread and the game forums, so please keep an eye out! In the meantime, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your ongoing patience as we investigate further.
greekphysics - You mention that you're also encountering similar issues with the "Dancing With My Friends" Alias, wherein the progress bar doesn't seem to be updating correctly. Based on your own testing, it looks like it could be something to do with the Coach you use. Have you been able to test using Coach #2 on any of the other dances? If so, does your progress bar continue to update, or is it still stuck at 3/9?
Thanks!
It's funny. On one of our profiles, in the Xbox achievements it shows that Dance Legend was unlocked on December 6, showing that we hit megastars on all 40 of the main dances. Yet on the same profile, in Just Dance 2021, in the aliases is shows 8/40 as the progress towards the Knows Every Dance alias. It's a contradiction. Xbox knows that we've done all 40 dances, yet the game itself only believes that we've done 8 of the 40 main dances.
The coach selection doesn't appear to have any impact on the progress. Initially, I thought this might be the case simply because the numbers matched up, but it was coincidental. We haven't advanced our progress on either of those aliases (Knows Every Dance or Dancing with My Friends) despite doing more dances and trying other coaches. Yet we do continue to get credit for the aliases that involve alternates or extremes. Somehow, it's counting differently, or the conditional statements in the code are different for different aliases.
Would you be able to send me two images showing that you've unlocked "Dance Legend" but not "Knows Every Dance", greekphysics? I can then add these into the report.
Thanks for the update regarding "Dancing With My Friends" as well. Rather than go off-topic within this thread, would you be able to create a new thread for me about this alias? In the new thread, please can you include all of the following:
- What you have found out so far (You're welcome to just copy and paste what you have here! It just means we have all the information in one place)
- If possible, can you also provide images that show you have completed more than 3 of the JD21 duets, but that your progress bar is stuck. You could also provide us with a video that shows the progress bar doesn't increase following the completion of a duet, if you're able to. Images and videos are useful in helping us to investigate this further, so any additional media you can provide is very helpful!
We can then keep track of this issue separately. Thank you!
Can I not use Xbox to capture the screenshot in game? I opened the alias options in JD 2021 and scrolled down to select the alias that is a problem. Then I pressed the Xbox button. I found the option to capture a screenshot. But when I attempted to do this, Xbox told me that the game doesn't allow captures. (Can't we capture screenshots or video with JD 2021? Or can we only record it while we're dancing, and not record the menu?) I checked my Settings and it says it is set to allow captures in general. This would have been convenient, because then I could simply link to my Xbox feed to show the images. Do I need to take pictures with my phone?
It's possible that there are restrictions on taking images and videos in-game using the Xbox capture feature. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
Would you be able to use a mobile device instead? Thank you!
UPDATE. (I haven't been able to take the screenshot yet, but it looks like my issue may be resolved, as noted below. It was a family member's profile where we earned the reward for megastars on every dance, despite making only partial progress for the Knows Every Dance alias; I didn't feel comfortable posting a screenshot from a family member's profile. Meanwhile, I had previously deleted the save data on my profile, foolishly hoping that might resolve some of my issues. I haven't yet finished going through all of the dances to earn the reward for megastars on every dance on my profile. I will finish all of the dances soon, but since my issue may finally be resolved, I guess I may not need to post a screenshot after all. However, if I'm unable to eventually unlock these aliases, I will return with my screenshots at a later time.)
Today, I was pleasantly surprised to discover, as I scrolled through the aliases on my profile, that I was finally making progress on the Knows Every Dance and Dancing with My Friends aliases. It seems to only be counting the dances that I've done yesterday and today, but not those I did prior to that. Maybe something was fixed yesterday and it's finally starting to track progress for these aliases...? I guess I'll see in the coming days. Hopefully, it's resolved. Is anybody else starting to make progress with these aliases now?
I'm happy to see this is resolved!
