Appearance of the Dancer[]
Contest[]
The dancer is a woman in a 70s disco attire. She wears a dark purple afro with a yellow headband, two red earrings, a red, tight suit composed of a purple collar, a red bra and red bell-bottoms tied together by a knot on her back, and two gloves: the left one is purple and the right one is yellow. She wears a pair of purple heels, and she has a zoom-like glow.
Just Dance 2018[]
The dancer is Panda. He wears a deep pink and ice blue hat, a long, yellow, deep pink, and turquoise blazer, a turquoise vest, ice blue and deep pink striped slacks, and black and turquoise shoes.
Background[]
Contest[]
The background is a stage with reflections of the coach into spotted lights, a light purple disco ball on the right, and many red and purple lights on the floor. On the sides, there are two white shapes dancing: a square with orange star sunglasses and a heart with fuchsia rectangular sunglasses.
Just Dance 2018[]
The background takes place in a colorful tropical rainforest with tall bamboo. The dancer is on a pink bamboo platform that flashes blue. The panda’s face is seen for a short amount of time, before disappearing and having a cheetah and a monkey appear in disco fashion. At an instrumental verse, the forest darkens and the platform turns dark blue. Soon, it is colorful again, where toucans appear and sing along to the song. Some magenta and cyan pineapples appear in the sky as the toucans are present.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Point forward while you move to the left.
Gold Move 2: Bring your arms up and move your left leg behind your right leg.
