Appearance of the Dancers[]
The routine is a duet between a woman and a man holding each other’s hand in a red glove. They are cloned to the sides to comply with the type of mode.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Jamaican Dance is the first song by Konshens in the series.
- Jamaican Dance is the only song on the main tracklist of Just Dance 3 that was released on Wii and PS3 but not the Xbox 360.
- Due to the main map being labeled as a Hold My Hand routine, Jamaican Dance is the first song in the series not to have a Classic routine.
- The background is almost identical to the one from Mister on Just Dance Wii, except for the yellow stripes and the speakers.
- The speakers in the background are shown to have the BOSE logo on them.
- Jamaican Dance appears in the Just Dance 3 instruction booklet in the part that explains how to download content, even though it is not a downloadable track.
- In the music video for Jamaican Dance, there is a clip that shows a girl recording a boy while he dances with an app that strongly resembles Autodance.
- The dancers for the routine can also be briefly seen in the music video the first time “If only for a little while” is sung.
- The following mistakes can be seen in the lyrics:
- The J for "Jamaican" is always spelled in lowercase.
- "We’re gonna party/Till the rising sun" is misspelled as "We’ll gonna party/Till the rising sun" in the Hold My Hand routine and as "We’ll party till the/Rising sun" in the Mashup.
- "And it just goes" is misspelled as "And it’s just goes".
- "And we’ll just go" is misspelled as "And will just go".
- "Piña coladas" is spelled without the tilde.
- "’Cause" is always spelled without the apostrophe.
- In "From the East/To the West/And the North to the South", the names of the cardinal points are not capitalized.
- The word "cuz" is misspelled as "cuhz".
- The song features uncredited vocals by Elephant Man.[3]
- If credited, it would have been his first song in the series, followed by the beta routine Whine Up.
- This song is the only Ubisoft Original to receive its own physical release. It was released as a promotional CD-R in 2012. It is rare and there is almost no information about it online.[4][5]
Hold My Hand[]
- Jamaican Dance is the first Hold My Hand routine. It is followed by Giddy on Up (Giddy on Out), Everybody Needs Somebody To Love, and the end of The World is Ours.
- A coach selection image featuring the male dancer can be found, meaning that the song was either planned to be a Solo or a Duet routine.
- The choreography can be seen being performed in the music video for the song.
Mashup[]
- Jamaican Dance’s Mashup is the only one in the series that retains the original background.
- This was because it was treated as a Classic routine on the Xbox 360.
- The mashup was featured as an uploadable song on Just Create.
- This makes Jamaican Dance (Mashup) the only Mashup in Just Dance 3 to be an uploadable song on Just Create.
- Jamaican Dance’s Mashup is the first Mashup in Just Dance 3 which is unlocked from the start. However, this only applies to the Xbox 360 version of the game.
- Due to the Mashup being the first award on the Xbox 360, Jamaican Dance is the first song in the Just Dance series to have a Mashup on the Xbox 360.
- The vocals in the intro, the second rap verse, and the outro are not transcripted in the lyrics.
- Additionally, "The melody" is misinterpreted as "That melody".
- Xoorgroott’s first three Gold Moves are missing in both of his appearances, totaling to six omitted Gold Moves.
- The coach from Rockafeller Skank appears twice in a row, as he performs different moves that are not consecutive in the original routine.
- Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)’s part is repeated halfway through in each verse in order to make it fit the verse melody.
- Xoorgrott’s extraction has been slightly cut at the top, resulting in parts of the coach’s head and fingers disappearing occasionally.
- When the Mashup is unlocked on Xbox 360, the circle showing the menu icon may show I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’’s Mashup’s menu icon instead.[citation needed]
