==Background==
The routine takes place on a circus named The Big Top. There are multiple spirals on the floor that starts out pink in the bridge but turns red during the chorus. During the rest of the song, it is purple with blue circles. When the dancers move around the stage to change positions, the spirals move with them as well. The platforms behind the dancers also light up sometimes in tune with the beat. Flames can be seen in the background when the word "circus" is sung. At the same time when it is said, the very back of the stage lights up to reveal the word "Circus".
==Mashup==
Circus has a Mashup with the theme Show-Off, which can be unlocked for 1000 Mojo Coins (or 20 Mojo Coins for all old-gen consoles). It features dancers perceived as performers.

==Trivia==
===General===
*Circus is the fifth song by Britney Spears in the series.
**However, it is her first song to not be covered.
*The "Behind the Track" interview for Boys (Summertime Love), Circus, and Fancy are the third, fourth, and fifth ones to have Alkis wear something related to the routine, after I Gotta Feeling and Let’s Groove.
*Oops!... I Did It Again was referenced by Alkis in the Behind-the-Track interview for this song after a man yells out that somebody stole the costumes, and he starts singing the song.
*While the alternate routine was added to Just Dance+ as part of Season 3: Lights Out!, the classic routine has yet to be released on the service, marking the fifth time an alternate routine was added to Just Dance+ before its classic counterpart, after Bad Romance, Automaton, Mood and Fine China.
===Classic===
*Circus is the third Dance Crew to be associated to a song by Britney Spears, after Baby One More Time and Oops!... I Did It Again.
*According to the Behind-the-Track interview with Alkis and Veronique, the Classic coaches are respectively named Badass Clown, Feline Tamer, Romantic Harlequin, and Ringmaster Madame Loyal.https://youtu.be/cXUJXmAOneY?t=36
**Thus, they are the third, fourth, fifth and sixth coaches in the series to have names (excluding the ones based off characters from official pieces of media); they are preceded by Jewelry Robin and Inspector Thomas Dance.
*Some pictograms for P2 are brighter than the others.
*Romantic Harlequin’s avatar has red hair, although the coach actually has orange hair.
*Ringmaster Madame Loyal’s left eye glitches blue numerous times.
*Some of the choreography is taken from the music video.
*Ringmaster Madame Loyal was teased on Facebook through a colored silhouette.
*All four of Circus’ coaches appear at E3 2016 during ’s segment while performing Don’t Stop Me Now.
*The Badass Clown appears in the background of Fire as part of the character selection screen.
*On , Circus is featured in the playlist "The 2010s Were Banging", despite the song being released in 2008.
*The Badass Clown and Ringmaster Madame Loyal appear in the background of Danger! High Voltage (16-Bit Version).
===Mashup===
*Circus (Mashup) is the fourth routine where the second pictogram is a Gold Move, after S.O.S. (only in the original version), Chicken Payback (only in the original version), and Bad Romance (Mashup).
*The second time Walk This Way (Old School) appears, she appears bigger in size than her other appearances in the same Mashup.
*Don’t You Worry Child blends into the background, barring his glove, due to the structure of his design.
*What About Love is in his second color scheme while performing a part that he performs in his first color scheme in the original routine. However, the pictogram remains the same.
**This may mean that his colors were not supposed to change in the routine.
*A placeholder menu banner can be found in the servers.https://jd-s3.cdn.ubi.com/public/map/CircusMU/CircusMU_banner_bkg.jpg/a69d3bd23a3bdbf04f4726ab8dd4771f.jpg
