Perfect Just Dance Game Advice for Just Dance 2021
I have a few ideas for the perfect Just Dance game and I hope you use them for future installments of the game. Please use this feedback for JD2021, I'm doing this for you guy's honor:
1. Amp up the tracking and create choreos with that in mind. I say this because it feels satisfying and provides more opportunies to boost the player's score while still making them work harder for the high score.
2. Provide variety in Gold Move quantity. Having each routine fall into a specific range and medium makes it feel forced and/or lazy, so the time should be taken to find places in the routine where they should be (making sure it's consistent; if one instance of a move is to be a Gold Move, all of them should be, so they should also be careful about picking moves that are used often). Planning ahead before a routine is recorded will help with this. 1-6 should always be the range. Not 2-4, not 1-3, not 4-6.
3. Be selective with what songs are chosen; including chart toppers is inevitable and, for the sake of publicity, shouldn't be avoided, but songs should be chosen based on their choreo and theme potential, not just their popularity or their novelty as a left-field decision. Engaging the audience is a huge part of how a routine gains traction, so if it's something that's better to just listen to than to get up and dance to, you're doing something wrong.
4. Don't be afraid to add some unique, high-intensity choreos. I noticed that in recent years, they seem rather hesitant to make their routines fast-paced, and tend to slow down the dancing even for a fast or rhythm-heavy song. Some should stay slow and simple (especially if that's what the specific song calls for), after all a variety in difficulty is what any game needs; easy for the entry-level players to gain their barings, hard and powerful for those that feel like testing their tenacity and endurance. Make routines that stand out from the crowd as something fantastic, unique, strong, and complex. Some people have told me that this is what Extremes are for, but first off, many of them go too far, being too chaotic and exhausting for their own good and existing just for the sake of challenge, and second off, even for the ones that hit the right sweetspot of hard but manageable, that's still 1 or 2 routines, when I feel about a third of the game should be like this.
5. Take a different approach with alternates. Far, far too many of alternate routines in recent games throw bizarre, quietly, wacky themes at the wall to see what sticks. What an alternate should be (besides Extremes and Sweats, which should still exist) is a simple reimagining of what the classic could have been and you can add as many as you want them to have. Good examples of this are Call Me Maybe, Another One Bites The Dust, Mi Mi Mi, A Little Party Never Killed Nobody, Don't Stop Me Now, Radical alternates, Soy Yo, or alts like in Just Dance 2014. Definitely don't do what All About That Bass, Automaton, Where Are You Now, Taki Taki, and Born This Way did.
6. Kids Mode needs to be removed from future installments. It's just a waste of time, data, money, and effort all for a demographic that people aren't not totally convinced the franchise even has. The extra mode should consist of what the fandom wants like a routine based on Extreme or Sweat/Fitness dances with more human coaches.
7. Any extra mode they could add from there shouldn't be forced for the sake of extra content. They need to have something non-intrusive and expansive enough to warrant the effort. I would prefer something that alters the way you play existing routines, like a battle mode system on top of a regular classic, a Gold Rush mode where a routine gets a lot of gold moves and you get scored based on how you land them, or something to that effect.
8. The World Dance Floor is a good idea, but it's lacking a battle royale mode. Like Tetris 99. Imagine the Dance Battles we used to have, but it's with a regular routine and it involves 100 different people. You keep cycling through songs until one player remains. This one was kind of a joke, but it also wasn't at the same time.
9. Party Master mode was a cool idea, but they would have to do some major tweaking to it to make it work better. I've tried it a few times, and every time it was a disaster. Thing is, I wouldn't even know where to begin providing suggestions. I can't even go into detail as to why I disliked them.
10. There should be no Ubisoft exclusive songs because it feels like filler and is a waste of money and we want artists like Rihanna, Cascada, etc. back in the game.
11. Outfits in the game should match the song's theme. Big examples like God Is A Woman's costume just looks too much like a spoon or strainer. I know after many people pointing out for me that it is meant to be a femle gender sign ♀, but it doesn't work on so many levels. There honestly should be less animal coaches to make unless it is absolutely needed because there are too many animal coaches and making more is just a waste. While you need to make outfits unique, it needs to match the theme of the song.
Just Dance's main problem is that they are pandering to much to the kids and that you are playing too safe for what they really want to do and you shouldn't because you need to be aware of what you are doing. Pander a lot more to the higher demographic(i.e. Teens and adults) and put in your most absolute passion, love, heart, complexity, and effort into all the routines like in past games, really know what you guys are really doing. Don't be afraid to be intense and hardcore like with JD4 to JD2015. I promise it will bring back the love that many people have for the series again.
Guys, Alkis, Veronique, Daimon Pousse, or any other director or Producer of Just Dance, if you are reading this, please trust the fans advice and feedback because they will tear you guys up if you keep doing what you guys have been doing and i dont want that. I am doing this to defend you guy's honor and please use this feedback for JD2021. Please. Thank you for listening.

I second that, to many animal coaches and dancers, also in just dance 2020 you have to press the letter A in between songs when you make a playlist and takes twice as long to workout to the game as it did in JD4 TO JD2017 I liked the just dance games when they were on auto play into the next song and not have to press A every single time. Twice as long to workout then it should be.
I requested Jason derulo kiss the sky along with a few other songs and you guys didn’t put any of them on just dance 2020. Not happy at all, hope you take the song requests into consideration.
Thanks for listening.

You should really start listening to your fans and what to put on the just dance games to make it more fun, otherwise why is a song request even worth it when you don’t put in the effort and put those songs into The game.
Just dance 2021 should be different with more songs That are upbeat and more Latin, also ongoing and don’t have to press the letter A after every single song during the playlist when people workout. Very annoying, should have a 5 second timer like in just dance 4 to go to the next song automatically so it doesn’t take twice as long to go through the playlist to workout.
Thanks for listening
And really start listening to the people and what they want not what you want to put in the games thanks.

And make the songs more tougher and high intense to make it more challenging throughout the game for just dance 2021

For just dance 2021 don’t be afraid to amp up the songs and have more Latin songs in the next game to come out, no kids mode cause some people may not play or like kids mode, also add some high intensity choreos that make people sweat in future installments from JD2021 and on. And less alternates.
Other then that love the games and keep them coming.
Thanks
