Easter Eggs

As with several other games, the Just Dance series is no exception to having its own Easter Eggs. Here, you can browse through all the Easter eggs which Ubisoft has so kindly put in the Just Dance series.

What defines an Easter Egg?
An Easter Egg could be anything - something that unlocks additional content, "cameos" from dancers outside from their own song; really anything that can be considered "secret" or "bonus" content. They could even be beta elements (although this page should be left for the best of beta elements as there are already pages for that). Also, see songs with the title in the background for more Easter Eggs.

Just Dance 2

 * Viva Las Vegas takes place in what seems to be a desert. Coincidentally enough,  is an oasis in a desert.
 * Raving Rabbids began their cameos in this game with appearances in When I Grow Up and Here Comes the Hotstepper.

 * D.A.N.C.E. features the Beta dancer from Crazy in Love and the one from TiK ToK in the background, as chalk drawings.
 * The chickens from Here Comes the Hotstepper reappear in Chicken Payback, and so does the barn.
 * The background from It's Raining Men is featured in Holiday, with "NEED HOLIDAY?" written on the bottom left corner.

Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs

Just Dance Kids 2

 * The cover of Kids in America from Just Dance Kids is reused in the starting menu of Just Dance Kids 2.

Just Dance Wii

Just Dance 3

 * The first ever Extreme version could be unlocked in this installment of the game by keying in the Konami Code (with the exception of A and B). By doing so, the Extreme version for Barbra Streisand would be unlocked and become playable, although it faced glitches.
 * Baby One More Time has a possible Beta dancer which appears in the Mashup for the song. Although she does not make an appearance in the song, people have made guesses that she might have been a beta dancer for the song.
 * In the background of Teenage Dream, there are posters of other songs from Just Dance 3: California Gurls (only in the background), Only Girl (In The World), and Take On Me.
 * In Hungarian Dance No. 5, Body Movin' and Rasputin are both returning coaches from Just Dance 2.

 * Besides, Fame simultaneously makes the "Fame!" pose along with the coach.
 * Only Girl (In The World) looks very similar to Jungle Drum, but with a different color scheme.

 * The woman that appears as a shadow in Jump (For My Love) is the Mashed Potato Time coach.

 * At the start and end of Call Me Maybe, when the screen zooms out to show the entire background around the phone, the lyrics from the chorus and the coach from Mas Que Nada can be seen in small text near the top right of the screen.
 * Besides, one of the icons in the phone shows the AutoDance logo - AutoDance is an app developed by Ubisoft.
 * A lot of backgrounds from other songs appear in the background of Rock Lobster, such as Funkytown, Party Rock Anthem and more. During the underwater part, there are many floating items that come from other routines, such as the car from Crying Blood and some candies from Lollipop.
 * Raving Rabbids appears in the background of Make The Party (Don't Stop).
 * Ain't No Other Man features in So What's background, which may be contradictory because So What is featured on all consoles but Ain't No Other Man is a Wii U exclusive.

Just Dance 2014

 * Characters from Spectronizer appear in the background in Nitro Bot. This is a coincidence, because both songs are by the same artist - Sentai Express.
 * Several elements taken from other choreographies can be seen in the outfits of Safe And Sound.

 * She also appears in the background of Rock N Roll
 * Stay Puft, a character in the Ghostbusters series, appears in Ghostbusters. Additionally, the three Ghostbusters and Slimer are playable characters.
 * Nitro Bot has lyrics which reference Just Dance Now. Considering that Nitro Bot was the replacement for Robot Rock, it may be enough evidence to make an educated guess that the two elements are related.
 * The golden rain from Umbrella can be seen in the background of Flashdance ... What a Feeling.
 * In the background of Blame It on the Boogie, the family's picture can be seen framed on the wall.
 * They will later appear in American Girl's background, during the line "I was raised by a television" (Blame It on the Boogie starts in something that looks like a sitcom).

They all have been slightly updated and are in higher quality.

 * Call Me Maybe, Spectronizer, Blurred Lines and the Sweat coach for Maria appear in Dançando as backup dancers.

 * In both C’mon and Timber, which feature a girl as P1 and a panda as P2, there is a brief part where the former jumps on the latter's back.

 * The dancer from the Extreme Version of Blame It on the Boogie has an effect near her glove just like the dancers from Michael Jackson: The Experience.
 * The silhouette of Beauty And A Beat appears when the icon of a dancer is not loaded yet; the most curious thing is that, behind it, you can see "JD5" written on it.

 * P2's avatar of Sway (Quien Sera) reappears in an achievement of the game called "I ain't afraid of no ghost!", which can be gained by playing Ghostbusters as Slimer (P4), because it resembles Stay Puft from the omonyous film.
