What genre is listed for the original Just Dance game?

The original Just Dance game is listed in the music, rhythm genre.

Released for the Wii in 2009, Just Dance is built around matching choreography to songs. Players hold a Wii Remote and imitate an on-screen dancer, while the game evaluates the timing and accuracy of their movements. That combination places it squarely within rhythm-game design, with music as its central organizing element.

The game grew from ideas developed for Ubisoft’s Rayman Raving Rabbids series, especially a pose-based dance concept in Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party. Ubisoft then expanded the idea into a standalone title designed to be accessible to casual players and enjoyable in groups.

“Music, rhythm” describes the game’s genre classification, not every activity it offers. The original also includes multiplayer play and modes such as Warm Up, Strike a Pose, and Last One Standing. Those features do not make it a puzzle, platform, action-adventure, or sports-simulation game.
