"Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake is featured on Just Dance 2022, Just Dance Now (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024), and 舞力无限. It was also previously available for two weeks from September 9 to September 26, 2021 on Just Dance Unlimited as part of Season 4: The Traveler.
Appearance of the Dancer
The coach is The Traveler. He is a man with blue hair and a mustache, and has a gold marking on his right eye. He wears a black beanie with a gold pin, a black cloak with a hood decorated with gold, geometric details. The inside of the cloak has a space pattern. He also wears a blue shirt with detailed sleeves, a black turtleneck underneath, a gold necklace with a triangular design, a black belt with a chain, black pants, and black boots. He wears a golden gauntlet that lights up when he uses his abilities. He has an ethereal purple glow.
Background
The routine takes place in the Spacetime Hotel, a spatial and starry dimension with halls, rooms and staircases with Art Deco designs on them, and connected to each other in a surrealist way, inspired by M.C. Escher’s "Relativity" shown by some concept arts.
The routine starts in a dark room with white lines in the center of it. White light from behind reveals a hallway with the words "ROCK YOUR BODY" in the middle of it. The camera moves past the title card and the glowing light, onto a room where the coach stands. The room has several lights, two chairs in the back, and Art Deco designs over the walls. Before the intro chorus starts, the room breaks apart in squared fragments which float up, except the ground where the coach is on, revealing a background full of staircases with red carpet and room fragments which connect in surrealistic ways. Behind them, piles of stars shine on a blue and purple sky. During the pre-chorus, the camera pans to the right and back, revealing two clones of the coach in room fragments; one of them is tilted 45º, has dimmer lightning and is placed behind the other one.
The camera settles with the clones on the right when the chorus starts, and seconds later, the camera moves toward the clone in the back, revealing two other clones behind it, both standing in parts of the staircases. The camera moves towards each one after a few seconds. When the chorus ends, a portal opens to transition to a gloomy background full of spinning staircases without lights on them, only the purple sky and stars surrounding them. Later, the sky dims down, and blue and purple lights move through the staircases. Then, the whole background turns dark and switches to the chorus background with all the lights turned off, which turn on for some moments.
After the second post-chorus ends, the background goes back to the room in the beginning. Four clones of the coach can be seen behind him. They slide to the sides, surrounding the coach, as four portals appear with the backgrounds of China, Rock Your Body, Mr. Blue Sky and Think About Things. The room walls and the ceiling break apart and float up again, but the floor fades away, leaving the coach and his clones floating over a starry sky. Each clone walks into one of the portals, and float away. One last portal opens behind the coach with the background of Levitating. The coach walks into it, and it closes behind him.
