About

Just Dance Kids is a spin-off series of the main Just Dance franchise, designed specifically for children. The series includes titles such as Just Dance Kids (2010), Just Dance Kids 2 (2011), and Just Dance Kids 2014 (2013). These games feature simplified choreography performed by real children, alongside a tracklist of popular children's songs, movie soundtracks, and clean pop hits.

Ubisoft initiated this specialized line to capture the younger demographic during the motion-control gaming boom. The debut title, Just Dance Kids (2010), was developed by Land Ho! exclusively for the Wii. Following its commercial success, the sequel Just Dance Kids 2 (2011)—released in Europe simply as Just Dance Kids (2011)—expanded the brand to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms, utilizing the PlayStation Move and Kinect peripherals to offer controller-free tracking.

These releases introduced kid-centric gameplay mechanics, such as "Freeze & Shake" and cooperative team modes, alongside a "Parent Connection" feature that allowed adults to track play time and calories burned. The final dedicated installment, Just Dance Kids 2014 (2013), arrived on the Wii, Wii U, and Xbox 360, incorporating newer pop hits and television themes. Following this release, Ubisoft discontinued the standalone kids' series, choosing instead to integrate dedicated "Kids Mode" sections directly into the mainline Just Dance annual releases starting in 2017.
