  • The Construction of Femininity in Just Dance1 by Briana L
    Breaking it Down: The Construction of Femininity in Just Dance1 by Briana L. Pocratsky, George Mason University, and Matti Z Pomeroy Introduction Popular media has the potential to impact the development of children as these cultural texts carry messages to audiences attempting to make sense of the world and their place within it. While video games and other forms of popular media are often critiqued as mindless entertainment, they can function as sites of discourse production, placing value on certain identities while constructing others as valueless through repetitive representations or absences.1 Academic research on video games is now fairly common across disciplines. While most research has focused on video games targeted toward teen males that include violence or explicit sexual themes, less attention has been given to games marketed toward young female audiences. As a result, many seemingly innocuous games that have mild ratings (such as “E” for “Everyone” or “E 10+” for “Everyone 10+”) by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) are overlooked. One of these overlooked video games is Just Dance. This article argues that the popular Just Dance video game series reinforces dominant media narratives regarding the requirement of the ideal female body to perform normative femininity and sexiness. The series perpetuates rigid gender performance of femininity and sexiness by assigning value to the ideal body. The prevalence of fit, glowing white female avatars in the main Just Dance video games suggest to the audience that bodies outside of these requirements perform sexiness incorrectly or are not capable of performing sexiness at all. Bodies that vary from the ideal, such as racialized or ethnicized bodies, are constructed as hypersexual and/or exotic female Others.

  • Ubisoft® Unveils Just Dance® 2016 and Smartphones Become the Controller
    UBISOFT® UNVEILS JUST DANCE® 2016 AND SMARTPHONES BECOME THE CONTROLLER The Just Dance Controller App Turns Smartphones into the Controller on All New-Gen Consoles LOS ANGELES – June 15, 2015 – Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft® announced Just Dance® 2016, the latest installment in the best-selling* music game franchise of all time. Just Dance 2016 will be released on October 20, 2015 in the US and October 22, 2015 in EMEA (October 23, 2015 in the UK) on all motion-control gaming platforms, including Nintendo’s Wii™ and Wii U™ system, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system. Just Dance 2016 will feature tracks from artists like Mark Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars, Jason Derulo, Meghan Trainor, Calvin Harris Ft. John Newman and Lady Gaga. The free Just Dance Controller App enables players on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U to use their Apple, Android, or Windows Phone devices to play the game without any peripherals or added console cameras. The app transforms the player’s phone into a motion sensor that tracks the accuracy of their moves and allows them to navigate through the game. “The resurgence in the music games genre has been thrilling to watch in the lead up to E3 and we’re as optimistic as ever about the future of music gaming,” said Jason Altman, Executive Producer. “Last year Just Dance franchise sales reached 54 million units, and we’re very proud to make a game that is loved by so many. We work to make the game as accessible as possible, and this year, the new Just Dance Controller App will make the game available to millions of new players.” Introduced this year, Just Dance Unlimited is a new subscription streaming service available for new-gen owners that allows players on Just Dance 2016 to access exclusive songs and the best tracks from previous Just Dance games.
