What Does the Just Dance: Decades of Hits Menu Include?
Get to your favorite track faster with the Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu, which brings a redesigned homepage and Song Library in version 27.0.1. Search tools, edition sorting, and clearer multiplayer options help you spend less of game night scrolling. The Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu also connects your song choices with Adventure Mode, Party Mode, Workout Mode, and customizable Dancer Cards.
Start by deciding what you want from the session: a specific song, a trip through the decades, a party with friends, or some time spent moving. The updated homepage gives faster access to core modes, while the Song Library handles browsing and finding individual tracks.
| Feature | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Song Library | Song-title and artist search, filters, and Sort by Opus |
| Adventure Mode | A story journey across six decade-themed game boards |
| Party Mode | Group dancing with unexpected twists |
| Workout Mode | A way to stay active through dancing |
| Dancer Cards | Multiple customizable cards and local guest profiles |
The important distinction is between choosing songs directly and progressing through the adventure. Every song included in Decades of Hits is accessible in the Song Library regardless of Adventure Mode progress. You can jump into a favorite without working through the story first.
The game includes 35 songs and five alternate routines. Keep those counts separate: alternate choreography gives certain tracks another playable version, rather than adding five different songs to the soundtrack.
For your first visit, head to the Song Library and find a track you recognize. Once you have your music picked, decide whether to keep choosing individual routines or explore another mode.
Find Songs Faster in the Reworked Song Library
The reworked Song Library in the Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu supports song-title and artist search. Version 27.0.1 adds several practical improvements, including more visible songs and smoother scrolling.
| Library feature | Version 27.0.1 behavior |
|---|---|
| Search | Supports song titles and artist names |
| Sort by Opus | Returns as an edition-sorting option |
| Filter panel | Retracts to give the library more room |
| Visible songs | Displays 12 songs at once instead of eight |
| Scrolling | Receives performance and fluidity improvements |
Search When You Already Know the Track
Use song-title search when someone requests a specific favorite. Searching for “Bye Bye Bye,” “Around the World,” or “Mamma Mia” gives you a direct starting point instead of making you browse unrelated tracks.
Use artist search when you remember the performer more clearly than the title. Both search options belong to the updated library, so you can switch your approach to match what you remember.
Check the routine name when selecting alternate choreography. The Video Call Version of “Hello” is an Easy duet with Chill effort. The Take Away Version of “HOT TO GO!” is an Easy duet with Moderate effort.
Use Edition Sorting to Focus Your Browsing
Sort by Opus gives you a way to organize the library by game edition. Use that option when you want to focus your browsing around Decades of Hits rather than move through a broader collection.
Just Dance+ is a separate subscription service that provides additional songs. Its catalog should be distinguished from the 35-song Decades of Hits selection. The subscription requires a Ubisoft Account, a console account, persistent internet access, and payment; age and territorial restrictions also apply.
Retract the Filters After Making Your Selections
Use the filter panel while narrowing your choices, then retract it to make room for browsing. With 12 songs visible at once, the updated library displays four more entries than its earlier eight-song layout.
Before selecting a routine, check its difficulty and effort information. Those ratings describe different aspects of the dance. “Around the World,” for example, is Medium difficulty with Chill effort, while “Bye Bye Bye” is Easy with Chill effort.
Choose an Easy routine when you want simpler choreography, and check the effort rating separately when planning how active your session will be.
Pick a Decade and Build Your Dance Session
Music from the 1970s through the 2020s gives Decades of Hits its identity. Each era has its own visual style and curated selection, so the soundtrack can take you from disco and classic pop to modern dance-floor favorites.
These six tracks offer a starting point for exploring the eras:
| Decade | Song | Artist |
|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 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 |
Use the Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu to find these titles, then expand your session with other songs from the same era. The selection includes “Crocodile Rock,” “Into the Groove,” “Just a Girl,” “Feel Good Inc.,” “Danza Kuduro,” and “HOT TO GO!”
For a session that moves through musical history, choose one song from each decade. For a group with different tastes, invite everyone to name a title or artist, then use the library search to find their picks.
Keep familiarity and choreography separate when choosing. Recognizing every word of a song does not tell you its routine difficulty. Check the dance information before handing the next selection to someone who is just getting started.
Returning song titles also deserve a fresh look. “Wannabe,” “It's Tricky,” “Mamma Mia,” “ABC,” “Celebration,” and “Crocodile Rock” receive new routines in this entry. Approach them as new dances to learn, even if you remember playing those songs elsewhere in the series.
If you want a themed session, stay within one decade for a few selections before moving forward. The game's era-specific visuals make that a natural way to explore the soundtrack.
Choose Adventure Mode for Story and Rewards
Adventure Mode gives the Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu a different destination from ordinary song selection. You join Lyra Gigavolt on a journey through time to rescue her father, Dr. Gigavolt.
The adventure spans six decade-themed game boards. Alongside song challenges, it includes quizzes, sorting mini-games, progression, and unlockable rewards. That mix gives you activities beyond simply choosing the next dance from the library.
Adventure Mode is exclusive to Decades of Hits. Its progression also operates separately from the main game, which matters when deciding where to play.
Understand Which Scores Count
Scores earned in Adventure Mode do not count toward standard leaderboards or personal high scores. Play there for the story, challenges, activities, and adventure rewards.
Choose songs through the Song Library when you want to pursue standard leaderboard results or personal high scores. This distinction lets you match the mode to your goal before starting a routine.
You can also explore the soundtrack outside the story at any point. Adventure progress does not gate access to the included songs in the library, and all Decades of Hits songs are included in Adventure Mode.
Match the Mode to the Session
Use these choices to decide where to begin:
- Choose Adventure Mode to follow Lyra's journey and work through themed challenges.
- Choose the Song Library to find a particular track or pursue standard scores.
- Choose Party Mode when your group wants dancing with unexpected twists.
- Choose Workout Mode when you want to focus the session on staying active.
For a family session, invite players to alternate between dance challenges and the adventure's quizzes or sorting activities. For a score-focused session, select your target routine directly through the library.
Make that choice before everyone settles on a song. It keeps expectations clear, especially when some players want story progress while others want to improve a personal high score.
Set Up Dancer Cards and Local Multiplayer
The Just Dance: Decades of Hits menu supports multiple Dancer Cards in version 27.0.1. You can create, rename, and customize cards, and local guests can select an existing card or use a generated guest profile during the session.
| Dancer Card feature | How it works |
|---|---|
| Multiple cards | Create more than one Dancer Card |
| Names and appearance | Rename and customize your cards |
| Local guests | Select an existing card or generated guest profile during a session |
| Progression, rewards, and scores | Shared across all Dancer Cards |
The shared-progress rule is worth understanding before you create cards for the whole household. Separate Dancer Cards do not create separate progression, reward, or score records. Customize them for player identity while keeping that shared structure in mind.
Adventure Mode's separate progression is a different rule. Multiple cards share progression, rewards, and scores, while Adventure Mode maintains its own progression and excludes its scores from standard leaderboards and personal high scores.
Check the Group Order and Coach Selection
Version 27.0.1 improves coach selection in local multiplayer. It also makes the player order in the gameplay HUD reflect the group menu order.
Check your group order and coach choices before dancing. The matching HUD order helps you connect each player's place in the menu with their place during gameplay.
The game supports dancing with up to six players. Routine formations vary: the tracklist includes duets, trios, quartets, and quintets. A song's formation describes its playable coaches, so inspect the routine rather than assuming every track uses the same arrangement.
Prepare Controllers Before Choosing Songs
On PlayStation and Xbox, a smartphone with the free Just Dance Controller app is required to track your moves. Prepare the required phone setup before your group begins choosing tracks.
For a local session:
- Select existing Dancer Cards or generated guest profiles.
- Check the group order and available coaches.
- Confirm the chosen routine's difficulty and effort.
- Choose Party Mode for its twists or browse individual songs in the library.
The Limited Edition also includes the 2000s Digital Cosmetic Pack, with customization items for Dancer Cards, scoring effects, and more. Use those items when personalizing your cards.
If you are choosing an edition, visit the Just Dance: Decades of Hits game page to explore the game and purchase options.
