About
Just Dance Now is the mobile and web-based version of Ubisoft's globally popular Just Dance franchise, designed to make dance gaming accessible to everyone without the need for a traditional gaming console. Players download the free app on their smartphone (iOS or Android), which acts as a motion-tracking controller, and stream the gameplay to any internet-connected screen — including web browsers, smart TVs (LG, Apple TV), tablets, or Chromecast devices. The platform features an ever-growing catalog of more than 450 songs spanning today's chart-topping hits and beloved classic tracks, including titles from artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Luis Fonsi, and Disney soundtracks. Players simply hold their smartphone in their right hand and follow on-screen coaches to score points based on their movements. One of Just Dance Now's standout features is its unlimited multiplayer mode — anyone with a smartphone can join a Dance Room and compete alongside friends or strangers worldwide, making it ideal for parties, group fitness sessions, and family entertainment. The leaderboard system lets players compete globally, adding a competitive edge to the fun. Just Dance Now is perfect for casual gamers, fitness enthusiasts, party hosts, families, and anyone looking for a fun, active way to enjoy music and movement without investing in dedicated gaming hardware. The app is free to download with premium subscription options for full catalog access.
