"D.A.N.C.E." by is featured on . The song was also featured on and , but was removed on August 1 and 2, 2024, respectively.
==Appearance of the Dancer==
===Original===
The dancer is a teenage girl with poofy dark violet hair with pink streaks. She wears a sleeveless deep violet tunic with a yellow, pink, orange and white robotic face on it, orange leggings, deep indigo fluffy boots, and a pair of two fingerless gloves, one orange and one pink. At the beginning of the routine, she appears with a chalk effect.
===Remake===
In the remake, the coach is a lot more realistic and has a darker color scheme. The chalk effect is removed when she appears, and the pixels that make up her body shake instead.
==Background==
===Original===
The background resembles drawings on a gray wall. It contains a blue skeleton head with yellow teeth, a yellow cassette player in the center, a mixtape, a lollipop, a bust-like drawing of Crazy in Love with blue skin and longer hair, a sketch of TiK ToK whose head is covered by the aforementioned skeleton head, an animated dog head, a few waves with a few curved lines coming out of them, two pairs of cherries, pink stars, blue stars, a few small yellow lightning bolt symbols, what appears to be a score ball, a few small white triangles, a white coffee cup with droplets coming out of it and "coffe" written in very dark brown, a banana, a paw hand with a fingerless glove on it, and the words: "Just", "DANCE", The Girls and "good". The floor is reflective and dark and the drawings move around and are animated. At the beginning of the routine, there’s a chalk hopscotch that fades away.
===Remake===
In the remake, the background is darker and looks smaller, as if it was seen from further away than its original version. The cassette player now glows, the dog head is no longer animated, and new drawings appear, being: a banana, the words take and toch, and the word "dance" appears in a different teleportation. The cassette player now also emits orange music notes, the cassette also pulses yellow, red, purple, and blue to the beat, those colors also make a fading effect which is brighter in the outro. The drawings also move in different places.
==Gold Moves==
===Original/Beta remake===
There are 4 Gold Moves in the initial routine and the beta remake, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Put your hands together pointing up while your legs are together.
