It consists of three dancers - one lead and two backups - dance on the stage. There are three spots for players - one for each dancer[1]. Xbox One version of Just Dance 2014 gives two spots for each dancer[2]. Lyrics are centred and displayed above dancers[3] (if playing on the World Dance Floor, they remain at their usual place). On-Stage Mode was planned to be in Just Dance 2015, but was scrapped for unknown reasons.
