Break Free

"Break Free" by featuring appears as a free downloadable track on . It later appeared on (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024). The song was also featured on and , but was removed on August 1 and 2, 2024, respectively. The song can be also found in the files.
==Appearance of the Dancer==
The dancer is a woman who is mainly a comic-styled superhero character. She has yellow hair and wears red lipstick. Her outfit resembles the flag of America because her dress has white and red stripes and her leggings are blue with white stars. Her top is mainly blue with yellow and red situated on the upper left shoulder. She also wears what is likely to be a belt that says POW! in a shock bubble. Her glove is also vivid yellow, specifically candlelight.
Every time the dancer spins, a large WHOOSH! can be seen near her dress.
==Background==
The background starts off with a simple POW! effect. Then, a reflection of the dancer appears behind her in the background, highlighting her facial features even more. The background becomes more and more comical, with comic shades and hues and comic dialogue (such as BOOM!, WIZZ , BAM!, ZOOM!, and SNAP!). Everything repeats over and over until the bridge. Throughout the routine, the coach stands on a red and blue circular reflective platform that also has orange sparks.
The screen turns completely purple near the end, before the beginning of the instrumental part, in which everything repeats again. It ends with a white strip saying "The End?".
==Gold Moves==
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Standing to the left, hold out your hands near your hips.

**The word "Fever" is highlighted during the entire line "Fever (yeah babe)".
**The line "On the highway to hell" is misinterpreted as "On a highway to hell".
**The line "No more baby" is not present in the lyrics. Instead, the line "Fever" replaces it.
