The dancer is a man wearing a traditional Russian costume. He has a beard, he is wearing a Papacha, a Russian cap. He also has a dark green jacket with a red scarf, violet pants, and black boots are also worn.

Background
The background is a winter landscape composing of a frozen lake, several evergreen trees and St. Basil's Cathedral, one of the most iconic building in Moscow, Russia. Snow can be seen falling in the background and the frozen lake shows the reflection of the trees, the coach, and the Cathedral.
The choreography might be an attempt to replicate the Kozachok, a Ukrainian dance.
Interesting enough, the songs lyrics mention the above dance.
The coach resembles Grigori Rasputin, a Russian historical figure whose life is told in this song.
The song is cut off right before the line "Ra ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine, And so they shot him til he was dead". This is most likely to keep the game family-friendly.
This the first song which has been remade in Just Dance 3 and then re-remade in Just Dance: Greatest Hits: in fact, the place where the coach dances is completely white in Just Dance 3, but on Greatest Hits it is bluish (like in Just Dance 2).
This happened because the lyrics in Just Dance 3 blended with the snow, thus being unreadable.
However, this is only the case on Xbox 360; the Wii version of both games use the same background as Just Dance 2.
On the Just Dance 2015 version of the avatar, his mouth is comparatively closer to the mustache.
This coach makes a cameo appearance in the background of Uptown Funk.
The song contains a German word, "wunderbar", which means "wonderfully".
In the Just Dance 2 menu icon, the coach’s face, cap and beard have a red outline.
In the original version, some pictograms have yellow arrows instead of red arrows.
This was fixed on the Wii versions of Just Dance 3, Greatest Hits and Best Of, as well as in the remake.
A picture of the routine appears in the background of the Tutorial mode from Just Dance Wii 2.
One of the pictograms in this routine has a double-headed arrow. Unlike other songs from Just Dance 2 that were recycled for Just Dance 3, Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, Just Dance Now, or Just Dance Unlimited, this was not changed or replaced by a different pictogram.
The remade coach is slightly different in Just Dance Now versus Just Dance Unlimited. In the former game, he is the same size as his original version and his glowing outline fades towards his feet. In the latter, he is slightly smaller and his glow is thinner and does not fade.
As seen in a picture, the coach’s boots were initially green instead of black-green.
As of October 17, 2019, the pictograms and the album coach got updated.
