About this game
Just Dance 2018 turns a dancing session into a choice of routines and ways to participate. On Switch, you use Joy-Con controllers to dance, while Double Rumble offers choreography built around both hands and HD Rumble. Workout playlists let you arrange a sequence of dances around your own session. Kids Mode takes a different approach, pairing easier choreography with more forgiving scoring and positive feedback. Colorful characters and a menu with less text shape its presentation. Parents can also enable random playback to keep the routines going, rather than selecting each dance individually.
Collected in series
Just Dance is Ubisoft’s dance-game series, where you follow an on-screen performer and match movements to the music. Each song brings a routine to learn, turning practice or a gathering with friends into a dance session; tracking equipment and multiplayer options vary by edition.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Best aligned with families who want movement and approachable routines to share the spotlight.
Kids Mode's simpler routines and encouraging scoring should lower the emphasis on precision for younger dancers. Double Rumble provides a contrasting reason to experiment with movement through both hands.
Strengths
- Dedicated choreography and reduced-text menus give younger participants a distinct entry point.
Who it is for: Families interested in dancing together, especially when younger participants benefit from simpler routines.
Play notes: Double Rumble uses a Joy-Con in each hand, so its controller setup differs from a single-controller routine.
