"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins (covered by Marc Martel,[1] who is credited as Top Culture in-game) is featured on Just Dance 2018, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, and 舞力无限. The song can be also found in the Just Dance+ files.
The song also has a Kids Mode routine.
Appearance of the Dancer

The dancer is a man with short black hair, who resembles an office employee. At the beginning, he wears a turquoise business suit with a pink shirt, a black loose tie, and black shoes. After the first verse, the suit disappears and he is wearing a pink collared shirt with a black loose tie, a yellow and black watch, turquoise shorts, as well as black and yellow polka dot socks with black garters. After the second verse, the coach switches to a pink tank top and his black loose tie is wrapped around the coach’s head like a bandanna. He also wears a bright yellow-orange glove, specifically sea buckthorn.
Background
The routine takes place in an office with several identical dancers wearing pink and turquoise suits dancing on the desks along with the coach. The background flashes magenta and yellow with the beat. During the pre-chorus, the background changes to a wall of yellow sticky notes that change to blue and white then flash blue, orange, and white. The notes change back to yellow then flash as before going back to the office background. In the bridge, the background changes to 4 finance line graphs, which increase and decrease in length to the beat of the song as the background dancers can be seen dancing on the line graphs before the bridge ends and bring all the dancers back to the office.
Gold Moves
There are 3 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Swing both arms outward followed by shaking both hands while leaning left to right.
Gold Moves 2 and 3: Pose with left arm straight out and right arm out at a 45° angle.

Trivia
General
- Footloose is the first song to be covered by Top Culture.
- Footloose is the second song in Just Dance to be covered by Marc Martel, after Last Christmas.
- The cover is about 50 seconds shorter than the original song.
- The lyric "Now take a hold of your soul" has been changed to "Now take a hold of the phone" in the in-game cover.
- In the American YouTube preview, the artist was not credited.
- The teaser for Footloose is a reference to one of the song’s two music videos, which features a lot of shoes and feet.
- In the Google Play Store announcement for the Just Dance Now playlist "Hello Dad", Marc Martel is credited instead of Top Culture.[3]
Routine
- When the preview gameplay was first uploaded, the original version of the song was erroneously used. This was fixed shortly afterwards by deleting the video and reuploading it with the in-game cover. This is the second time this happens in a preview in the Just Dance series, after Only You (And You Alone).
- However, the track list video, which was uploaded at the same time as the preview, still used the cover.
- The routine reuses a move from the Just Dance Kids 2014 version.
- By comparing the pictograms for Gold Move 2 and Gold Move 3, it can be noticed that the latter is placed slightly more upwards.
- An early version of the routine can be seen in a showreel, where the background is simpler and placeholder pictograms are used.
- In the preview, an error can be seen in the pictograms.
- By comparing the preview and the final gameplay together, it can be seen that more moves are counted in the latter.
- Footloose was one of the maps selected for the digital qualifications of the Just Dance World Cup in 2019.
