This may have made Ubisoft feel a bit more free to experiment. To be fair, much like in member G-Dragon's "Crayon" performance, a lot of Big Bang's official choreography relies more on their dancers than the group members themselves. Just Dance got the chorus choreography for "Bang Bang Bang" (Opens in a new tab) pretty right, however the rest of the routine drags its score down. But it still loses points for failing to reach G-Dragon's level of swag. Though Just Dance's "Crayon" looks like it was choreographed without any knowledge of what the lyrics were saying, it does still match the general vibe of "Crayon" (which is clearly about how cool G-Dragon is). Yet Just Dance's much slower guide stops at his head and shoulders, before touching his heels on the "swag check." It's incomplete and wrong, and I cannot forgive it. The first few lines in "Crayon" translate to "head, shoulders, knees, and toes," with G-Dragon touching each respective body part in time. Even so, I just couldn't get over Just Dance's opening moves. The game replicates the original "Crayon" choreography from part of the chorus pretty closely, and its influence on the rest is apparent. Just Dance therefore takes most of its choreography inspiration from the dancers, albeit at half the speed. While G-Dragon does have dancers performing around him during "Crayon," (Opens in a new tab) many of his own movements are less dance and more pure swag. However, the oversimplification of other choreography makes these moments of accuracy not enough to win it a higher ranking. Just Dance does get Psy's train-like arm chug and subsequent dab during "dugeun dugeun dugeun" right, as well as the pivotal "new face" move in the chorus. I'm also not a fan of Just Dance routines that make you pick a "leader" from your friend group, which just creates unnecessary social divides. In particular, Just Dance's use of feminine choreography for the side dancers and masculine choreography for Psy's stand in seems unnecessary, particularly considering the original used similar energetic moves for all dancers regardless of gender. But in comparison to Psy's original choreography, it feels disappointing. The moves are big, simple, and repetitiously easy to follow - an easy dance for less advanced dancers. 'Bubble Pop!' by Hyuna (Bubblegum Version)Īs a Just Dance routine, Ubisoft's rendition of "New Face" (Opens in a new tab) is fine. Ranked in ascending order, here is every K-pop dance routine in Just Dance. Still, some Just Dance K-pop routines are better than others, whether because they adhere more closely to the official choreography, follow the spirit of the dance, look impressive, or are just plain fun. "We tried to use iconic dance moves, but we're not always allowed to replicate the whole choreography," said Ubisoft Asia managing director Steve Miller, speaking to UnGeek (Opens in a new tab) about Just Dance's K-pop routines.įortunately, Just Dance doesn't completely rechoreograph every K-pop song it includes, and is sometimes able to use segments of the original dances even if it can't use it all. While some do reference the official K-pop choreography, deviation is often necessary due to issues such as safety, practicality, and intellectual property rights. However, Just Dance's K-pop routines aren't always technically accurate themselves. Bias, comeback, and aegyo: What all those K-pop words actually mean
