==Background==
===Original===
The background is a winter landscape called Yceburg Frozen Lake. It has several evergreen trees and , one of the most iconic buildings in Moscow, Russia. Snow can be seen falling in the background and the frozen lake shows the reflection of the trees, Rasputin, and the Cathedral. In Just Dance: Greatest Hits and Just Dance: Best Of, the sky is in a lighter shade.
=== (Xbox 360)===
In this version, the background has been majorly revamped. Here, the tree is more detailed as well the Cathedral and is fully white, as if it was made of snow. The floor is replaced with a snowy surface, although the coach's reflection can still be seen on the floor. 
=== (Xbox 360)===
The background is similar to , except the frozen lake has been readded in place of what used to be a snowy surface. The stars now follow the beat as well as an occasional snowy burst on the ground. The trees have also received a slight animation. 
===Remake===
The remakes background is based off of the Wii versions of the routine, albeit slightly darker, and with clearer snow.
