### Original

The dancer is a male athlete in football attire. He has been putting on sky blue makeup on his damn eyes. He wears a white and red helmet with headphones, a white shirt with a red '8' on it, cyan long sleeves, cyan shorts, cyan socks, and white and red checkerboard-patterned shoes. He has shoulder length blue hair and eyes, which can be clearly seen through his helmet.

### Remake

The remake could possibly be based on how the dancer looks in *Y.M.C.A.*. It features him with a red-and-orange helmet with headphones of the same colors, an orange shirt with a red number '8', and dark green-and-red sleeves and pants. His socks are in a shade of olive, dark green, red and orange, and his shoes now have a red and yellow checkerboard pattern.

## Background

### *Just Dance*

It appears as a red room with red zoom lines forming a circle, like a football stadium. It also appears to have a moving wall made up of small light red dots.

### *Just Dance 3*/*Just Dance: Greatest Hits* (Xbox 360)

In the Xbox 360 versions of *Just Dance 3*/*Just Dance: Greatest Hits*, the zoom lines light up, and there are other lines on the floor,which makes it look like a football field, flames, and reflections of the dancer on the wall.

### Remake

In the remake found in the files of *Just Dance Now*, there are lights on the floor which light up.

## Gold Moves

From *Just Dance 3* onward, there are 4 **Gold Moves** in this routine:

**Gold Moves 1 and 2:** Put your right arm in front of your face while kneeling.

**Gold Move 3:** Similarly Gold Move 1 and 2, but without kneeling and putting your right arm on your forehand. The right arm should be around the chest.

**Gold Move 4:** Open your arms up.

## Trivia

### General

* *Dare* and *Girls And Boys* count as Damon Albarn’s first two appearances in the series, as he used to be the lead singer of Blur before founding Gorillaz.
* *Dare* is the first song by a virtual artist in the entire *Just Dance* franchise.
* In *Just Dance*, the song title is spelled in all caps; in all the following games, instead, it is not.
* In *Just Dance* and in the remake, the lyrics say "Work it out", but in *Just Dance 3*/*Just Dance: Greatest Hits* they say "**If** work it out".

### Routine

* The helmet worn by the dancer is the same one worn in the music video.
* On the *Just Dance* menu icon, the coach’s blue elements are lighter.
* In *Just Dance 3*, the coach disappears with a fading effect while doing the moonwalk, unlike *Heart of Glass*.
* In *Just Dance 3*/*Just Dance: Greatest Hits*, the pictogram for *Viva Las Vegas*’ **Gold Moves 1, 2 and 3** is reused as the Xbox version of **Gold Move 3** with slight edits.
* A Beta pictogram for the *Just Dance 3* version is used in *The Final Countdown* and *#thatPOWER*’s Mashups.
* *Dare* is the first remade routine in the series to feature three different styles of pictograms:
	+ *Just Dance 3* pictograms (from the *Just Dance 3* version)
	+ *Just Dance 2014* pictograms (from the coach’s appearances in Mashups and Party Masters in that game)
	+ *Just Dance 2015*/*Just Dance 2016* pictograms (newly added for the remake).
* *Dare* is featured in *Just Dance 2014* as P4 in *Y.M.C.A.* with an HD remake. His shirt is now yellow.
* In *Dare*’s .json file from the *Just Dance Now* archives, it can be noticed that the name for **Gold Moves 1, 2, and 3** in the remake is "sad\_gold". However, **Gold Move 3** is a slightly different move.
	+ This means that the same pictogram is used for the three Gold Moves, and **Gold Move 3** must be performed in the same way as the two previous ones.
	+ This also happens in the Wii versions of *Just Dance 3* and *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*.
* In *Scream & Shout*’s Mashup, there are two pictograms made for the dancer’s walking in the beginning of the routine.
	+ Thus, *Dare* and *Taste The Feeling* (in *Ghost In The Keys*) are the fourth and fifth coaches to receive newly-made pictograms in Mashups, after *A Little Less Conversation* in several *Just Dance 2014* Mashups, *Idealistic* in *Addicted To You*’s and *Jin Go Lo Ba* in *The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)*’s.
* A sticker of the coach can be unlocked in *Just Dance 2020* by dancing to *Skibidi* three times.
* In *Just Dance*, when the dancer moonwalks at the end of the routine, he's cut off by a "wall" due to the green screen.
	+ In *Just Dance 3* and *Greatest Hits*, the dancer fades away as he moonwalks.
		- In the remake however, he fully leaves the screen without fading or being cut off.
* The dancer’s legs are glitchy and tend to show blue spots, which are noticeable when his legs are up. This glitch is fixed in *Just Dance: Greatest Hits* and the remake.
