"Dare" (stylized as "DARE") by Gorillaz is featured on Just Dance and Just Dance: Greatest Hits. It was featured on Just Dance 3 as a downloadable track, but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, and the removal of most DLCs from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023. The song can be also found on the Just Dance Unlimited files.
Appearance of the Dancer
Original
The dancer is a male athlete in football attire. He wears a white football helmet with a raspberry face mask and raspberry flame patterns with red and cyan headphones, which beneath the helmet is cyan shoulder length hair. He wears a white shirt with two raspberry lines on each sleeves and a raspberry "8" in the middle, cyan sleeves, cyan shorts with raspberry lines on the tip of the shorts and a raspberry belt with white buckle, cyan knee length socks with two red raspberry lines, and white vans shoes with raspberry checkerboard pattern.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits
In the Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits versions, all of the cyan parts are slightly tinted teal, all the raspberry parts are slightly lighter, and he now has a blue outline.
Remake
In the remake, the coach is based on the dancer’s appearance in Y.M.C.A.. His helmet is now yellow with a red flame pattern and his headphones are yellow and red with green wire. His hair is now green. His shirt is now mainly yellow with red lines, his shorts are now green with red lines on the tip and belt, his socks are now green with yellow and red stripes on top, and his shoes are yellow with a red checkerboard pattern. His outline is now yellow.
Background
Just Dance
The routine takes place in a room with a moving wall with small maroon dots on them. Light red lines ending in sharp points jut out of the top and sides of the wall.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Wii)
In the Wii version of Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits, there are now spotlights on the floor that flash to the beat. The lines now light up at certain points and a yellow glow occasionally streams through the lines.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)
In the Xbox 360 versions of Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits, there are now lines on the floor, resembling a football field. A wide stream of light moves across the floor at various points. The lines on the floor and the lines on the wall occasionally emit bright light. Sometimes, a large white glow fills the background. Flames shoot up at the bottom edge of the wall in many points. The dancer is projected into the wall in several points.
Remake
The background is similar to the Wii version of Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits; however, there are now lights on the floor, which flash to the beat.
Gold Moves
From Just Dance 3 onward, there are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Moves 1 and 2: Put your left arm out and your right arm in front of your face while kneeling to the right.
Gold Move 3: Similar to Gold Move 1 and 2, but without kneeling and putting your right arm on your forehand with your right arm around your chest.
Gold Move 4: Open your arms up as if you were surrendering.

Trivia
General
- Dare and Girls And Boys count as Damon Albarn’s first two appearances in the series, as he used to be the lead singer of Blur before co-founding Gorillaz.
- Dare is the first song by a virtual artist in the entire Just Dance franchise.
- In Just Dance, the song title is spelled in all caps; in all the following games, instead, it is not.
- In Just Dance and in the remake, the lyrics read "Work it out"; in Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, however, they read "If work it out".
- On the Xbox 360 New Zealand store, the description for Dare - Demo mislabels the song as Fame but still credits Gorillaz and has all the copyright information for Dare. This likely happened because the description was based on that for Fame - Demo.[4]
- This error is not visible on the New Zealand and USA for the full routine and on the Australian and USA pages for the demo.[5]
Routine
- Dare is the only remade routine in the series so far to feature over three different pictogram models:
- Just Dance 2 pictogram (from the Gold Move 3 pictogram from the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits);
- Just Dance 3 pictograms (from the Just Dance 3 version);
- Just Dance 2014 pictograms (from the coach’s appearances in Mashups and Party Masters in that game);
- Just Dance 2015/2016 pictograms (newly added for the Just Dance Now/outdated remake).
- Post-Just Dance 2015/2016 pictograms (newly added for the Just Dance Unlimited/updated remake).
- The helmet worn by the dancer is the same one Noodle wore in the music video.
- On the Just Dance menu icon, the coach’s blue elements are lighter.
- In Just Dance, the dancer can be seen getting into the starting position at the start of the routine. This has been fixed from Just Dance 3 onwards.
- In Just Dance, the dancer’s legs sometimes have blue spots due to editing glitches. This is especially noticeable when he raises his legs. This glitch is fixed from Just Dance: Greatest Hits onwards.
- In Just Dance, when the coach moonwalks at the end of the routine, he is cut off by an invisible wall due to the green screen.
- In Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the dancer fades away as he moonwalks.
- In the remake, no effects are applied on the coach, but the screen fades to black while he moonwalks.
- In Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the dancer fades away as he moonwalks.
- The coach’s socks are worn by Rowan Tiger.
- The coach’s shoes are reused in Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.
- The Just Dance 3 demo version of Dare starts midway through the intro and ends before the first verse ends.
- A beta pictogram for the Just Dance 3 version is used in the Mashups of The Final Countdown and #thatPOWER.
- In the Mashup of Scream & Shout, this beta pictogram is replaced by two new pictograms.
- On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, a slightly edited version of the pictogram for Gold Moves 1, 2, and 3 of Viva Las Vegas is reused as the Xbox version of the Gold Move 3 pictogram.
- On the Wii versions of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the pictogram for Gold Moves 1 and 2 is also used for Gold Move 3, despite the latter being performed in a different way.
- This also happens in the remake.[6]
- The coach returns as P4 in Y.M.C.A. with a different color scheme.
- A sticker of the coach can be unlocked on Just Dance 2020 by dancing to Skibidi three times.
