Happy Pride Month, Just Dance fandom! 🏳️🌈
In honor of Pride Month, what if Ubisoft were to make a limited time playlist for queer-coded and LGBTQ+ maps in Just Dance that was available during all of June?
If Ubisoft were to make a queer-coded playlist, here are routines that I think would be a good fit. When I say “queer-coded,” I’m referring to maps or coaches that could be interpreted as queer-coded or LGBTQ+, the coach(es) of songs that are canonically LGBTQ+, or the artist of a song is LGBTQ+:
-Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
-Lollipop
-I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’
-Crazy Little Thing Called Love
-Rock Lobster
-Livin’ La Vida Loca
-Crucified
-Domino
-Can’t Take My Eyes Off You (Wrestler Version)
-Careless Whisper
-Y.M.C.A. (a lot of people in the LGBTQ+ community have claimed the song as a gay anthem even though that wasn’t the actual intent of the song so why not)
-I Kissed a Girl
-We Can’t Stop
-Bang Bang
-4x4
-Born This Way
-Cool For The Summer
-Drop the Mambo
-Copacabana
-Don’t Stop Me Now
-Bang
-I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll
-Another One Bites the Dust
-Old Town Road
-High Hopes
-Panini
-Boy, You Can Keep It
-You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
-MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)
-A Queda
-Flowers
-vampire
-I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) [Extravaganza Version]
-Party in the U.S.A.
-Good Luck, Babe!
-Zombieboy
Btw, pretty much all of the Lady Gaga maps in Just Dance would be included in this playlist. Lady Gaga herself is bisexual but I didn’t list every single Lady Gaga song in Just Dance because there is so many of them 😭 (I think the only Lady Gaga songs I listed are the songs with LGBTQ+ coaches because I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget them)
I had to do a TON of research to conjure up this playlist, especially when trying to find which artists in Just Dance are LGBTQ+. However, it’s very much possible that I missed quite a few maps. If I did, I sincerely apologize. I scrolled through the wiki for every Just Dance game to find and include the songs I did. There was a LOT of songs I scrolled through so it’s very much possible I missed quite a few songs that could be included here and again I’m sorry for that. If there’s any song I may have missed that could be interpreted as queer-coded, kindly point it out!
I was originally going to include You’re the First, the Last, My Everything and while I do think the map is quite queer-coded, I’m not going to include them here. I feel like people would accuse me of being biased because it’s one of my favorite maps in all of Just Dance and probably wouldn’t see it as queer-coded. I have a feeling me including You’re the First, the Last, My Everything would be seen as me shoving them into everything I talk about. You guys hear me talk You’re the First, the Last, My Everything enough anyways and likely get tired or annoyed by me talking about them all of the time so I’ll leave them out of something for once.
