This Is How We Do

"This Is How We Do" by Katy Perry is featured on Just Dance 2016undefined and Just Dance Now.

Classic
All four dancers are teenage girls dressed as (and who probably are) cheerleaders. They all have sapphire blue hair and wear pink and orange cheerleader dresses, long orange socks with pink stripes, and white shoes. They all also hold large pom poms, one pink and one orange each. Each girl has a different hairstyle to distinguish them; P1 has short hair, P2 has long pony tail, P3 has braided hair, and P4 has her hair in a bun. P3’s dress is a one-piece, while the other girls’ outfits are two-pieces.

Aerobics Version
The Aerobics version dancer is a girl with purple hair, who wears a pink tank top with cutouts on the sides, a green belt, some tri-color shorts with the colors being pink, purple, and white, some orange leggings some pink leg warmers, and a pair of white sneakers.

Fanmade
The coach is Diegho San, a man with light skin and black hair. He wears a black sleeveless hoodie, a pair of yellow pants and black and white sneakers.

Classic
Véronique stated in the Behind-the-Track interview that the background was inspired by the geometric shapes and lines from sport fields and stadiums.

Aerobics Version
The background is purple, it contains watermelons and violet and green lines. In the chorus, part of the background turns green and some lyrics of the song appear.

Fanmade
The background for the fanmade routine is a living room with brown wooden flooring and white walls. There are several wall pictures, a speaker with a black and orange Les Paul electric guitar on top, and a small yellow shelf. The fanmade template is purple, and on the right is San's avatar of P2 from One Thing and the Brazilian flag.
