I have two teenage nieces who have owned several Just Dance games in the past. They love being able to enjoy their favorite music while hanging out with friends and dancing. There were recently two new games released from Just Dance which include Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance Disney Party 2.
Just Dance 2016 is the newest version of ‘regular’ Just Dance – it includes popular music hits like Born This Way by Lady Gaga and Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo. It’s a game that teens love that gets them off up the couch and can even burn calories. There is a sweat mode that will track your calories lost while playing! There is also a World Dance Floor that lets you play against friends from across the world. It’s available for Wii, Wii U, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. My 17 year old niece was excited about this new release, so this line of games is great for kids ages 10 all the way up through high school.
Just Dance Disney Party 2 is great for the slightly younger crowd. It features songs from popular summer Disney movies and shows like Descendants, Teen Beach 2, Girl Meets World and Austin and Ally. Like other Just Dance games, it shows your child how to dance along to the songs and is a great slumber party game that keeps kids active while inside. It is available on Wii, Wii U, Xbox one and Xbox 360. It will be popular with kids who like to dance from elementary age up through the early teen years.
Both games are a great in-between for parents who want to limit screen-time and keep their kids active and kids who crave games because Just Dance games keep kids active while they have screen time.
Do you seek out video games that encourage activity?

(Holiday Gift Ideas For Kids & Teens – New Just Dance Video Games) Our family had played this a few years ago during the holidays and had a blast dancing along to all the songs. We are going to have to buy this new one for sure-

We have the first Lets Dance for the Wii. The whole family gets involved, and it’s a fun workout while interacting as a family with the kids. I liked your review, the girls want this for Christmas this year. Thanks 🙂

I’ve had so much fun playing the other Just Dance games with my nieces while babysitting. I know at least 2 of them would be so excited to have this… and they will probably get a good laugh at me if we try it out Christmas day!

My granddaughter has a couple of those tapes i often see them dancing around when i visit !
I have a ton of exercise and fitness DVDs so I would love to encourage kids to keep active. I enjoyed the Just Dance CDs I’ve listened to and know the current hits would be favorites. I like that you can share these with the whole family really, so it’s economical too.
