Just Dance Kids 2

Dance has always been an activity that’s engaged little ones and kept them busy – and with Just Dance Kids 2, you can keep them entertained while also making sure they get some exercise in. Indeed, the game offers a whole new host of exciting and energetic dance routines that will surely keep kids playing along for hours (and offers a great dance-off challenge to get all of the family moving).

What is Just Dance Kids 2?

Just Dance Kids 2 is an energetic dancing game released by Ubisoft, and has been specifically targeted towards children for whom the original Just Dance series may have been a little too complex. Although the dances are simpler than the original Just Dance games, this edition for kids features catchy children’s songs that will keep them dancing along (and hopefully, out of your hair!)

A notable feature of Just Dance Kids 2 is that it includes songs suited for children of all ages; with this in mind, parents can select songs based on their children’s age category. Nevertheless, there’s fun songs for children of all ages. The wide array of song types makes it a great game for siblings to play together as well as wider family members, regardless of age gaps, dance skills, and more. As was seen in the original games, dancers on the screen demonstrate moves to players; however, in this version, it’s real dancers as opposed to animated characters. This allows everyone – no matter their own creativity with choreography – to learn fun and engaging dances.

Rating and Similar Games

While it may be simpler than other games in the Just Dance series, Just Dance Kids 2 is an excellent game for younger players and their families to get involved with. It’s similar to other dancing games such as Dance Juniors, as well as other “get active” Wii games such as Wii Fit or Wii Sports.

Overall, we rate Just Dance 2 at 8/10 stars; it’s an excellent game for children, but family members and older children may begin to get frustrated by the simpler dance routines and potentially annoying songs over time.
