New Just Dance for PC
Reviewed by Apps Playground Editorial Team · Updated

New Just Dance transforms your computer into a dance platform by using your phone as a wireless controller and your monitor as the display stage. The app connects your mobile device to a larger screen, letting you follow choreography to over 300 available songs (including 42 tracks exclusive to the console versions) without needing a gaming system. When you're practicing solo or hosting a virtual party with other players worldwide, New Just Dance on PC combines your existing hardware into a full dance setup in minutes.
Running New Just Dance on a computer shifts how you experience the app compared to phone-only use. Your desktop or laptop becomes the visual hub, while your smartphone handles motion detection, and the larger display provides a clearer view of the choreography. This setup works well for practice sessions, casual parties, or learning new routines without switching between devices.
How a Dance Session Flows
Starting a session with New Just Dance for Windows PC follows a straightforward sequence:
- Launch the app on your mobile device and ensure your phone connects to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
- Open the browser on your computer and navigate to the New Just Dance web interface.
- Pair your phone as the controller by scanning a code or entering a session ID displayed on screen.
- Select a song from the 300-plus catalog and begin following the on-screen choreography.
- Track your calorie burn in real time, visible directly in your Healthkit dashboard while you dance.
- Invite other players to join the same session if you want to dance together or compete.
Core Features and Social Play
New Just Dance for computer centers on two main pillars. Instant access lets you move to your favorite tunes within a few taps: no setup delays or complex menus. Social play scales from intimate practice to global events: you can dance alongside 10 people in a living room, 100 friends across regions, or 1,000 players simultaneously if you choose. The app's party mode removes the barrier of needing physical proximity or matching hardware; everyone syncs through their phones and one shared screen.
Dance Songs and Content Library
The song selection spans multiple genres and eras within the dance songs category. Over 300 tracks are available, with 42 songs drawn directly from the latest console releases, giving you access to current and classic choreography. This breadth means your music taste and dance skill level both find material to match, when you're warming up or diving into harder routines.
Network Requirements for Desktop Use
New Just Dance on PC demands a reliable internet connection: either Wi-Fi or mobile data on your phone, plus Wi-Fi on your computer. The app performs best with a strong, stable connection. If your network drops during a session, the app may pause or disconnect. Ensuring both devices are on the same network and that your Wi-Fi signal is consistent will give you the smoothest experience when running New Just Dance from your desktop.
Sitting at Your Computer to Dance
Using New Just Dance at a desk or in front of your PC keeps you signed in on one machine, simplifying repeated sessions. You can leave the browser tab open, return to it whenever you're ready, and skip the re-pairing step on subsequent dances. This convenience suits people who want to incorporate quick practice breaks into their day or build a regular routine without re-entering login details. Your progress and calorie data persist within your Healthkit, so your computer-based dancing integrates with your overall fitness tracking.
