Just Dance MAC Challenge

The Just Dance MAC Challege was an official event made by Ubisoft for Latin America in 2019/2020 in collaboration with the MAC Cosmetics Brand.
==Background==
Shortly after the 2019 Just Dance World Cup finals it was announced that the event would take an indefinite break to adjust it and offer better competition, and that at least during 2020 there would be no official worldwide competition. Months after that announcement, Ubisoft Latin America revealed the Just Dance Challenge, an event almost identical to the World Cup exclusive for Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Mexico that searched for the best male and female dancer of each country. In the beginning it was just called "Just Dance Challenge" but after the partnership with MAC Cosmetics the name was changed to Just Dance MAC Challenge.

Mexico was the first and only country to have its qualifications with Just Dance 2020 on the Nintendo Switch and they started one week after the game release. Qualifiers took place between November and December 2019 in partnership with Liverpool stores at these select locations:
November 8 to 10, November 22 to 24 and November 29 to December 1st:
*Liverpool Puebla Serdán
*Liverpool Guadalajara Galerías
*Liverpool Monterrey Galerías
*Liverpool Insurgentes
*Liverpool Parque Delta
*Liverpool Perisur
November 8 to 10, November 15 to 17, November 22 to 24, November 29 to December 1st and December 6 to 8:
*Liverpool Satélite
There, players had to register and then play an Easy, Medium and Extreme choreography in a row from this pool:
*EASY: Bad Guy, Old Town Road, I Don't Care, Into the Unknown.
*MEDIUM: Bangarang, Con Altura, Soy Yo, Taki Taki.
*EXTREME: Bangarang, Kill This Love, Rain Over Me, The Time (Dirty Bit).
The sum of the scores would be recorded and uploaded to a ranking that could be consulted on the event's website and was updated weekly. Each player could qualify indefinitely and their highest score is the one that would be registered in the raking. The 8 highest male and 8 highest female scores would advance to the finals where they would face off in person in front of a jury to select the champions of each category.
