    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...

    I can say that ''The Specialist'' alias is recording the dance progress. I'm hoping they are going to fix the rest of them

    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?
