For detailed information about this series, see: Just Dance Wiki
Just Dance is a series of rythm games developed and published by Ubisoft. The title is believed by some to be based on the 2008 Lady Gaga song of the same name.
The game uses motion control and the goal is to follow the onscreen dancers' movement as closely as possible.

Additionally Dance on Broadway, released on June 15th, 2010 for Wii and on March 17th, 2011 for PlayStation 3, and ABBA: You Can Dance, released on November 15th, 2011 for Wii, are both often considered part of the series, since they're two stand-alone games with the same gameplay as Just Dance titles.
The series also had a spin-off called Just Sing, released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6th, 2016, but since it doesn't feature any in-game character, it's considered non-fiction.
Links to Other Series[]
Note: characters appearing as dancers can be considered their alter-ego from a supposed Just Dance universe, creating an In-universe link, however they may just be considered dancers dressed as them, so the link is considered arguable.
