If line dancing is mostly done by grown-ups, Just Dance is mostly done by younger people. Just Dance is a sort of party game where the players try to accurately imitate the “dance” figures of the animated characters on the video game screens. It is a sort of “virtual dancing” that was created by software engineers at Ubisoft rather than real-life dancing created by amateur or professional dancers and refined in dance studios.

The songs comprising the annual Just Dance lists are an eclectic list, usually chosen from recent hits by younger singers. The most recent list was released in mid-October 2016.

Some groups of enthusiastic “players” or “dancers” upload videos of their performances to YouTube. It is a worldwide phenomenon. One of the more unusual (because it was done to the William Tell Overture) performances was done by a group in Cyprus.
