Gameplay

*Just Dance* is a motion-based video game. One to four people can play it. Players dance along to a song, and follow the dances on screen as if they were looking in a mirror. Players get more points when they follow the dance moves more closely. Starting in *Just Dance 2*, players get stars for every 2000 points they get. In each song, there are also moves called Gold Moves. If a player does a Gold Move correctly, they get a lot of points. If they do a Gold Move incorrectly, they do not get any points. At the end of the song, whoever has the most points is the winner.
