The coach is a woman with hot pink hair with bangs tied into a long ponytail, a one-piece leotard with a black, blue, and cyan triangles in a mosaic pattern, and a hair of high heel boots with a similar square mosaic pattern and colors. When the techno part of the song begins, her hair turns neon blue, the mosaic patterns illuminate into pink, turquoise, and purple, & her skin turns pitch black. After this bridge, the color returns to normal.

Background
Classic
In the beginning of the song, there are four stained glass windows, with coaches on it (California Gurls, Disturbia, What You Waiting For, and Crucified(P1)). In the chorus, there are lots of stained glass windows with the characters from the previous verse on them. In the second verse, there are four mosaic windows, with more coaches on them (Applause, E.T., Gangnam Style (P2, C1), and Ring My Bell). In Colby's part, yet another four coaches appear (Rasputin, Hey Ya, So What, and Moves Like Jagger). During the last chorus, the stained glass windows show the first four coaches.

The title of the Just Dance series is derived from the title of this song.
On September 18, 2013, Just Dance was leaked by an Ubisoft employee who uploaded the gameplay to his personal channel. Two minutes later, it received a copyright strike from Ubisoft. Meanwhile, copies of the gameplay were uploaded to download servers and many YouTube channels.[1][2]
Just Dance is always the first recommended song in Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance Wii U when the games are played for the first time.
In the background, there are twelve Just Dance coaches (eleven from past games and one from 2014).
In relation to the new dancer the background, which turned out to be Applause, when the preview of the song came out, Applause was still unknown.
Most of the dancers shown in the background are females. The male ones shown are from Rasputin, Hey Ya, and Moves Like Jagger; they appear during Colby’s part.
Likewise, in the Mashup, most of the dancers who appear during Lady Gaga’s part are female, and most of the dancers who appear during Colby’s part are male.
Each installment number of the game (up until Just Dance 4) determines how many coaches from that game are shown in the background; one from the first installment, two from Just Dance 2, three from Just Dance 3, and four from Just Dance 4 (non-DLC).
In the Mashup, there is a glitch. When Feel So Right appears, the coach and her pictograms are missing, and no moves will be counted until California Gurls appears.
In a trailer revealing some unknown routines, which says "Adding new flavors to the mix", one of the dancers is seen wearing the same suit as the dancer from the Classic mode. The only difference is that the suit is in a different color scheme.
The classic dancer’s silhouette can be seen at the bottom right of all the Just Dance 2014 Facebook awards.
On an image showing all of the avatars that are on Just Dance 2014, a Beta version of Just Dance’s avatar can be seen on there: it has no ponytail and longer hair.
This could mean that the dancer was originally going to have longer hair.
On the downloadable version for Just Dance 2015 and further, less moves are counted for than on its debut until Just Dance Now.
The Classic coach appears as a cameo in the background of Uptown Funk.
She also appears in the teaser for the song I’ll House You by Don Diablo ft. Jungle Brothers, along with the Wild coach and the Barbra Streisand coach.[3]
In the Sweat routine, the coach’s glove will glitch from red into light blue whenever he touches his socks.
The Classic routine is one of the songs to have a Dancemas ornament. [4]
From April 21 until May 4, 2016, the Classic routine was free on Just Dance Now.
Just Dance (Mashup) can be found in the DLC files of Just Dance 2015.
In the Classic routine, during the line "What’s goin’ on, on the floor?", the camera consoles do not score while the coach performs the moves. However, they score for the leg movements, which the controller consoles do not account for.
