Here Comes the Hotstepper

"Here Comes the Hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze, covered by The Hit Crew in the game, was featured on Just Dance 2 as a DLC but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel in January 2019. The song remains playable on Just Dance: Summer Party and is to be added to Just Dance Unlimited.

Appearance of the Dancer

The dancer is a man who appears like a Mongolian farmer. He has a blue hat, a blue and yellow checked shirt, blue one-shoulder overalls with yellow tail on the back, and blue boots.

Background

The background is styled as a farm. There is a barn, chickens, and some sheaves of hay. For almost the entirety of the routine, there is a Rabbid annoying the dancer. At the end, the front wall of the barn falls, revealing numerous Rabbids.

Gold Moves

There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:

Gold Move 1: Put your hand from right to left, like you are throwing something.
Gold Move 2: Put your hand like you are trying to catch something.
Gold Move 3: Swing your right arm to the left as if to say, "Aww snap!'
Gold Move 4: Simply put your hands up.
