Just Dance 2 is the second game in the Just Dance series. It was released on October 12, 2010 for the Wii only. The game includes 44 new tracks and new game modes.
Gameplay
The concept of the game remains from previous Just Dance installment, with players mimicking the dance moves of on-screen dancers for a score. There are four new dance modes, including 'Just Dance Mode' where players can get together and dance for an unlimited duration. 'Non-Stop Shuffle' where gameplay is nonstop, 'Medleys' which include 5 short pieces of different songs which are mixed together.
'Duets' allows for players on the same console to dance together. 'Dance Battle Mode' is a team mode that features up to 8 players support. 'Just Sweat' mode is an exercise focused mode which set objectives based around completing dance sessions.

Trivia
- This is the first Just Dance game to feature DLCs and Duets.
- This is the first game where Gold Moves appear. In Just Dance, the moves with bonus points exist as Shake Moves.
- On the PAL boxart and the recoloured boxart, there are 2 unknown coaches: Let's Get It Started and Poker Face. They were taken out because Dance Central bought the rights of the songs before Just Dance.
- This is the first Just Dance game to have exclusives available in any way. It has them available through Best Buy.
- This is the last Just Dance game to only be available on the Wii. Just Dance 3 added Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, 4 added Wii U, and 2014 added Xbox One and Playstation 4.
- In the files, the Contest Winners extractions have incorrect codes: Sam's routine appears as contest3, Mandy's routine appears as contest1 and Liana's routine appears as contest2. Maybe this means that their positions in the menu were going to be different.
