Just Dance: Decades of Hits Map Guide: Songs & Worlds

What Is a Just Dance: Decades of Hits Map?

Your next favorite dance could be a disco throwback, a yacht party, or a tennis match in space. Understanding a Just Dance: Decades of Hits map helps you choose a routine by its choreography, cast, and atmosphere. This Just Dance: Decades of Hits map guide covers the song routines and six Adventure Mode worlds so you can plan your next session.

In Just Dance, players use map to mean a song’s playable dance routine: the on-screen coaches, choreography, background, and movement prompts that make up the performance. Adventure Mode adds another meaning to the search, with decade-inspired worlds connecting the game’s musical journey.

The game includes 35 songs and five alternate routines. An alternate routine gives a song a different performance concept, so the song title alone doesn’t always tell you which dance you’re choosing. “Hello,” for example, has both a tennis-themed routine and a separate Video Call Version.

Keep these distinctions in mind when choosing what to play:

• Song: The musical track you’re dancing to.
• Routine or map: The choreography and visual presentation attached to that track.
• Alternate routine: Another playable interpretation of a song.
• Adventure world: A decade-inspired setting within Adventure Mode.

There’s also a separate song called “Maps” by Maroon 5, originally featured in Just Dance 2015 and later added to Just Dance+. That title refers to a specific catalog song, while a Just Dance: Decades of Hits map usually means one of this game’s individual routines.

Explore Six Decades in Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode follows Lyra on a journey to rescue Dr. Gigavolt. Along the way, you explore six themed worlds, dance to songs, take part in mini-activities, and unlock exclusive rewards.

The musical journey stretches from the ’70s through the 2020s. Each decade has its own visual identity and curated selection of hits, giving the adventure a framework that ties its music and settings together.

These featured songs introduce the eras represented across the experience:

Decade	Featured song	Artist
’70s	Mamma Mia	ABBA
’80s	It's Tricky	Run DMC
’90s	Wannabe	The Spice Girls
2000s	Bye Bye Bye	*NSYNC
2010s	Turn Down for What	DJ Snake & Lil Jon
2020s	NUEVAYoL	Bad Bunny

All 35 songs are included in Adventure Mode. The mode brings the tracklist into a story built around traveling through musical eras, with activities and rewards alongside the dancing.

For your first session, follow Lyra’s rescue story if you want a reason to explore beyond your familiar favorites. Let the decade themes introduce you to songs you might otherwise pass over.

For a party, use the same eras as a playlist idea. Ask everyone to name a favorite decade, then choose tracks that move between those tastes. An ABBA fan and a Bad Bunny fan can each have a turn without the evening staying in one musical period.

The Just Dance: Decades of Hits map experience gets much of its character from that variety. The music, costumes, and settings all contribute to the theme, so pay attention to the whole performance when picking a routine to revisit.

Song Maps With Distinct Performance Concepts

A recognizable chorus is only part of a routine’s appeal. Coach interactions, costumes, and backgrounds give individual maps their personality, even when the songs come from the same decade.

The 2010s selection makes that especially clear. Its settings include a yacht party, a colorful poolside celebration, a space tennis tournament, and a snowy holiday scene.

Song or routine	Performance concept	Details to watch for
Danza Kuduro	Solo party routine	A Hawaiian-shirted coach, flamingo, pineapples, and playful pool scenery
Give Me Everything	Yacht party	Three distinct coaches, gold accents, and DJ Llama
Hello	Space tennis tournament	Tennis rackets, a star-shaped ball, and spectators
Hello — Video Call Version	Seated video call	Separate rooms, arm choreography, and exchanges between the coaches
Santa Tell Me	Holiday performance	Snow, a large Christmas tree, and a glamorous coach
Turn Down for What	Comic party spectacle	Exaggerated expressions, security characters, and hip-focused movement

“Hello” Changes More Than Its Background

The standard “Hello” routine builds its presentation around tennis, with Stella and Jolty performing in a space tournament. Rackets and a star-shaped ball carry that idea through the setting.

The Video Call Version takes a different direction. It uses seated choreography, places its coaches in separate rooms, and builds interactions through gestures across the call.

Compare those versions when exploring a Just Dance: Decades of Hits map with alternate choreography. Pick the seated version when you want to try that format, and follow its arm and head movements as carefully as you would the larger gestures in a standing routine.

Party Songs Have Different Visual Personalities

“Give Me Everything” presents a group celebration aboard a yacht. The coaches have distinct outfits and take turns in the spotlight, giving you different performers to follow.

“Danza Kuduro” uses a single coach in a bright party setting. Choose it for that solo presentation rather than expecting the same group arrangement as the yacht routine.

“Turn Down for What” pushes its comedy through facial expressions, costumes, and security characters. Follow your selected coach through the spectacle, and use the movement prompts to prepare for the next change.

Seasonal Atmosphere Adds Another Choice

“Santa Tell Me” combines holiday scenery with a glamorous performance. The snow and Christmas tree make it an easy thematic pick for a holiday dance session.

Build a session around these concepts if your group enjoys the spectacle as much as the songs. Try a party setting, switch to the tennis routine, then finish with the holiday performance. Choose the sequence around the people dancing and the atmosphere you want.

Read Difficulty, Effort, and Coach Labels

Before starting a Just Dance: Decades of Hits map, check both difficulty and effort. They describe different aspects of the routine: the choreography’s challenge and the physical activity involved.

Also check the dance format. A solo, duet, trio, or quartet tells you about the routine’s coach arrangement. That label is separate from the game’s support for up to six players.

Here are examples of the labels attached to individual routines:

Song or version	Dance format	Difficulty	Effort
ABC	Trio	Easy	Chill
Across All Time	Duet	Medium for P1; Easy for P2	Moderate
Around the World	Quartet	Medium	Chill
Bye Bye Bye	Trio	Easy	Chill
Hello — Video Call Version	Duet	Easy	Chill
HOT TO GO! — Take Away Version	Duet	Easy	Moderate

These examples show why it helps to read the full combination. “Around the World” pairs Medium difficulty with Chill effort. “HOT TO GO!” in its Take Away Version pairs Easy difficulty with Moderate effort.

If you want to try easier choreography, start with an Easy label. If you want a less physically demanding selection, look at the effort label too. Avoid using the song’s tempo or your familiarity with its lyrics as your only guide.

“Across All Time” adds another useful distinction: its two coach positions have different difficulty ratings. Choose P2 for Easy or P1 for Medium when selecting between those parts.

For a mixed-experience group, point out that choice before starting. Let each dancer decide which part they want to follow.

During the routine, watch the on-screen coach and scrolling movement indicators. Scoring depends on matching the choreography in time with the music. Use a repeat attempt to work on transitions you missed, especially where the routine shifts into a new sequence.

Keep the routine version in mind as well. The Easy, Chill labels for “Hello — Video Call Version” describe that particular alternate dance; they shouldn’t replace checking the labels on another version.

Choose a Mode for Your Dance Session

Your Just Dance: Decades of Hits map selection is one part of the evening. The mode determines whether you’re following a rescue story, playing with party twists, or focusing on an active session.

Feature or mode	What it includes
Adventure Mode	Lyra’s rescue journey, six decade-inspired worlds, mini-activities, and exclusive rewards
Party Mode	Dancing with unexpected twists
Workout Mode	A mode focused on staying active
Multiplayer	Support for up to six players
Just Dance+	Access to additional songs through a separate streaming service

For a family session, invite everyone to choose a song from an era they recognize. Mix those choices with something unfamiliar so each person gets both a favorite and a discovery.

For a session focused on choreography, choose a routine and repeat it. Watch the movement prompts, follow the same coach, and concentrate on the parts that interrupted your timing.

For a more active session, use Workout Mode and check the effort labels when choosing songs. Match the selections to how much movement you want that day.

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a smartphone with the free Just Dance Controller app is required to track your moves. Get that ready before gathering everyone for the opening song.

Keep Just Dance+ separate from the game’s own tracklist when planning purchases. It provides additional songs and requires the relevant accounts, persistent internet access, and a fee or ongoing subscription, with age and regional restrictions.
