Just Dance 2014/Beta Elements

Name

 * The name for the game was originally Just Dance 5, as there are some placeholder images with "JD5" on them, and the main folder for the game is titled "jd5". Additionally, on a website for a game conference, the game logo that was supposed to say "Just Dance 2014" was read as "Just Dance 5" instead.

Demo

 * The game was originally supposed to have a demo, as there is an unused Extras square with the words "Not available in demo version" that can be found in the files of.

Unknown Dancers

 * A male dancer in a red splatter suit with spikes and yellow shoes appears on the PAL boxart, on the UK website, and on the Soundless Quiz, but not in the game. Some people have unofficially dubbed him as a dancer for Treasure by Bruno Mars. In a picture there is the duet partner that confirm that its in beta version and its a duet song in JD2014. He also looks similar to the male dancer from Candy, and has been suspected to be a beta dancer for that.
 * A dancer with a disco ball head appears in Mash-Ups and makes a minor appearance in Gentleman but is not seen with his own dance routine in the game. He is however an avatar that is available for purchase, and the most expensive thing to buy in the whole game for 500 Mojo coins. Some people unofficial dubbed him as the dancer Just Dance by Lady Gaga as a Sweat or Extreme version. This was proven wrong later, due to the Feb. DLC, Just Dance Sweat, which showed a completely different coach. This assumption is probably based on the fact that the mirror ball is a recurring theme in the music video. The dancer's pictogram color is usually light blue, but, in C'mon sweat mashup, this same dancer has two differently colored pictograms, the first one is light blue and the second one is light green for unknown reasons. Another strange thing is that, in all the Mashups, there's always a disco ball in the middle of the background: this may refer to this unknown dancer. Also, he makes a cameo in the background of Happy, but with a magenta outfit instead of the blue and red one.
 * He also appears in Just Dance 2015 with a magenta hat, when there is a new Community Remix contest.
 * He also makes a cameo in the Just Dance Harlem Shake.
 * A male dancer wearing a hat with spikes, a blue jacket, a black vest, blue jeans, black shoes, and a black glove appears in the background of the Just Dance 2014 Website . Like the red suited dancer, he doesn't appear in the game. He looks similar to the dancer from The Other Side, and has been suggested to be for an alternate mode for that song. However, Ubisoft confirmed he was a promotional figure, not an actual dancer.
 * An unknown female coach appears in the background of Blurred Lines; after exploring the files, it has been proven that she was meant to be for Man Down by Rihanna.
 * In the Announcement trailer, a male dancer with a yellow outfit black glove red headband appears very briefly-almost to the point where you can't see it-in the trailer. The same goes for a male dancer similar in appearance to Should I Stay Or Should I Go. The dancers appear at the same moment, around 0:54.
 * They do also make an appearance in front of the Green Screen on a computer (to the far right) in the Harlem Shake video made by the Just Dance team and uploaded to their official YouTube account. This could imply that the two dancers were going to be in a Duet routine or a Battle between most likely unused songs. Some people have unofficially dubbed them as the dancers for Beat It by Michael Jackson or Paradise by Coldplay.
