In regards to a routine, quoting from legalzoom.com:

"A copyright affords protection to creators and owners of unique intellectual property that is fixed in some permanent, tangible form such as a written notation, book, video, sound recording, or drawing."

This means that Just Dance routines would be copyrighted, as they exist as a tangible form of media. Whether the same applies to choreography in music videos can be debatable, but I would like to point out that the Just Dance routine for Applause's alt does not use every move seen in the music video (I don't remember seeing the couch catch a knife in her mouth, for example), so it is likely that the music video inspired the JD routine, making it Fair Use.

And as for costume, there's a reason why Ubisoft used a different coach design for Tell Your World in Just Dance Wii U, but used Hatsune Miku's character design for the other three songs by her in the series.
