"Judas" by Lady Gaga is featured on Just Dance 2022, 舞力无限, Just Dance Now, and Just Dance+.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is Shadow Rider, a woman who resembles Lady Gaga. She has blue hair styled in a bob cut, with large conical projections at the side of her hair. There are numerous yellow loose strands hanging from the hair projections. She also has two sharp eyebrows, with the top eyebrow colored blue and the bottom eyebrow colored yellow, as well as black eyeliner and orange lipstick.
She wears a black cropped leather jacket, with very large and exaggerated stiff shoulders that have tassels colored the same way as her hair. At the center of her chest is a large white heart-shaped patch with abstract lines in black, orange, and yellow. Underneath the jacket is a pure black top. She wears chaps with spikes and similarly designed tassels that move from the sides down to cover her shins. She has jeans with abstract lines in black, yellow, and orange. Hanging loop chains are added in her shoulders, the bottom corner edges of her jacket, and her hips. She also wears a pair of black block heels. She also has a faint blue outline and an orange glove.
Background[]
The background is a dark hall room with asphalt floor and a motorcycle-like structure. The main room consists of motorcycle handles and a giant headlight. On each side of the room there is an endless hallway formed by several arches adorned with motorcycle handles that connect them, a headlight, and a front wheel fender on the base.
The map starts with a title card with the word “JUDAS” written in white neon lights attached to signs bearing their respective characters, which is imposed over a bright headlight.
The coach is backed up by 6 dancers, depicted in dark colors with some variance from background lighting, in unified attire, comprising of a headpiece akin to a medieval fillet and barbette arrangement (the faces of the dancers are visible through a layer of tight cloth, though the color configuration makes this difficult to discern when the faces are not in profile), form-fitting bodysuits with tassels along the arms and pointed, raised shoulderpieces, and ballet shoes. At the beginning of the routine, they are arranged akin to a motorcycle, with the coach as the "driver".
Throughout the song, various neon lights and the headlights on the structures light up the room in different colors and patterns based on the dancers’ moves and the beats of the song.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Bring your arms down from above your head and put them beside your shoulders.
Gold Move 2: Put your arms up in a Y shape multiple times.
