Just Dance: Decades of Hits Trailer: Songs and Modes

What Does the Just Dance: Decades of Hits Trailer Reveal?

Your next dance party can jump from ABBA to Bad Bunny without leaving the living room. The Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer introduces six musical eras and a new Adventure Mode, giving you both a party playlist and a journey through time. Watch the Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer with your favorite decade in mind, then explore the songs and modes that fit the night you want to have.

The theme runs from the 1970s through the 2020s. Each decade has its own visual identity and selection of music, so the time travel extends beyond the soundtrack. The dances, backgrounds, and Adventure Mode worlds all draw on the eras they represent.

That gives the game a clear hook for households with different musical tastes. Someone can pick a familiar throwback, while another player gets a turn with a recent favorite. You still follow on-screen choreography and earn points for matching the movements, but the selection invites you to move between generations.

Which trailer should you watch?

The reveal introduces the overall concept, while the songlist and decade mashups put more attention on the music. Adventure Mode also has a dedicated trailer for its journey through time.

Trailer	Main focus	Featured content
Reveal trailer	The game’s central theme	Music spanning the 1970s through the 2020s and the new Adventure Mode
Songlist trailer	The soundtrack	Song excerpts and the six-era structure
Adventure Mode trailer	The story adventure	A journey through decade-inspired worlds
Decade mashups	Individual musical eras	Separate previews for the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s

Start with the reveal for the broad picture, then choose a decade mashup that matches your taste. Use the songlist trailer to explore beyond that favorite era. A familiar chorus can pull you in, but another decade might offer the routine you want to try next.

Songs Across Six Decades: What’s on the Dance Floor?

The Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer centers on recognizable music, and the game includes 35 songs across six decades. That selection mixes disco, pop, hip-hop, rock, electronic music, and newer hits.

Here are six tracks that capture the game’s chronological spread:

Decade	Featured song	Artist
1970s	Mamma Mia	ABBA
1980s	It’s Tricky	Run DMC
1990s	Wannabe	The Spice Girls
2000s	Bye Bye Bye	*NSYNC
2010s	Turn Down for What	DJ Snake & Lil Jon
2020s	NUEVAYoL	Bad Bunny

The broader selection also includes “Uptown Girl,” “Into the Groove,” “No Scrubs,” “Feel Good Inc.,” “Danza Kuduro,” “HOT TO GO!,” and “Manchild.” Those songs give you several ways to shape a session, whether you want recognizable pop choruses, hip-hop tracks, or a mix that keeps changing direction.

The soundtrack also includes “Across All Time” and “Supersonic” by Lyra Gigavolt. Alongside the established hits, those tracks give the game music associated with its own character.

Returning songs have new routines

Several familiar tracks receive new choreography in this entry, including “Wannabe,” “It’s Tricky,” “Mamma Mia,” “ABC,” and “Celebration.” Knowing a song from an earlier dance game does not mean you already know its routine here.

Follow the current on-screen dancer when revisiting an old favorite. Let familiarity with the music help you find the rhythm, then learn the movements as they appear. The next-move indicators can help you prepare, while the coach shows how the full movement fits together.

The game also includes five alternate routines. Examples include the Video Call Version of “Hello” and the Take Away Version of “HOT TO GO!” These offer another choreography option for those songs.

Build a playlist around the people playing

Use the playlist tools to connect different tastes instead of staying inside one decade for the entire evening.

• Ask each player to choose a song they recognize.
• Mix older favorites with newer tracks.
• Choose easier routines when someone is learning the controls.
• Add more demanding choreography when the group wants a challenge.

Routine difficulty and physical effort are separate considerations. For example, “Around the World” has a Medium difficulty rating and a Chill effort rating, while “Bye Bye Bye” is rated Easy and Chill. Check both labels when choosing what to dance next.

The Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer is a useful introduction to the music, but your playlist can take the theme in whichever direction your group enjoys.

Adventure Mode Turns Each Decade Into a World

Adventure Mode gives the soundtrack a story framework. You join Lyra on a journey through time to help rescue Dr. Gigavolt, exploring six worlds inspired by the game’s six decades.

Each world connects its era’s music with themed surroundings. Along the way, you dance, take part in activities, and unlock exclusive rewards. All 35 songs are included in Adventure Mode, bringing the base soundtrack into the journey.

That makes Adventure Mode a way to explore music you might skip when browsing freely. Instead of returning immediately to the same favorites, you can follow Lyra into another decade and give its songs a turn.

Activities break up the dancing

Adventure Mode includes mini-activities, including trivia about the decade you are visiting. These breaks add something different between routines and connect the setting with the music.

Use those moments to compare what each person knows about the era. Someone who recognizes an older song can introduce it to a younger player; someone familiar with recent music can return the favor in the newer worlds.

The Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer presents this mode as part of the game’s time-travel theme. The story gives that theme a destination: helping Lyra rescue Dr. Gigavolt rather than simply moving through a collection of unrelated songs.

Choose your session’s structure

Pick Adventure Mode when you want to follow the story and explore the decade worlds. Create a playlist when you want direct control over the songs and their order.

Both approaches use the same core dance gameplay. The difference is how you move through the music: a themed journey with activities and rewards, or a sequence built around your own choices.

Try songs outside your usual era during the adventure, then add the ones you enjoy to a playlist for another session. That turns the decade theme into a practical way to discover more of the soundtrack.

Party Features, Workout Mode, and Phone Controls

The game supports up to six local players, making room for a larger group on the same dance floor. Party Mode and Workout Mode add different ways to use the routines beyond selecting individual songs.

Feature	What it does
Local multiplayer	Supports up to six players dancing together
Party Mode	Introduces changing rules and unexpected twists between rounds
Workout Mode	Tracks calories burned while you dance
Multiple Dancer Cards	Lets players customize their own profiles
Smartphone controls	Uses a compatible phone to track dance movements

Party Mode adds variety through rules that change between rounds. Choose it when your group wants the session to keep shifting. Workout Mode tracks activity through calorie estimates, giving you another way to approach the same song library.

Create separate Dancer Cards for household members who want their own customized profiles. The multiple-card system gives each player a personal identity within the shared game.

What PS5 and Xbox players need

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a smartphone with the free Just Dance Controller app is required to track your movements. No additional accessories are required for that control method.

Install the app before gathering everyone for a session. Choose your platform and controller setup before buying so you arrive ready to dance.

When watching the Just Dance: Decades of Hits trailer, keep the practical setup in mind alongside the song choices. A track that gets everyone interested is the starting point; having the required controls ready gets the session moving.

Learn the routine without chasing perfection

Keep watching the dancer and use the scrolling indicators to anticipate the next movement. Match the rhythm first, then work on the details as you become familiar with the choreography.

Songs continue when your performance is rough, giving you room to recover within the same routine. Stay with the music after a missed movement and look ahead to the next one.

Choose an Easy routine for a first attempt, then explore other difficulty levels. Use the separate effort rating to help decide how active you want the session to be.
