#just dance 2023 storymode

[anonymous-gremlin]

A random fanfic idea mixed with a theory I had (+ some info we know from canon)

Canon is confusing so stuff might not be right so this counts as an au

Perhaps I make a follow up

------------------------------------------

Panda's out of the bag

------------------------------------------

Usually portals worked the way they're supposed to. The keyword here being usually.

They were handy and got you quick between danceverses. And usually it ended up in the same location

Why it was now different was confusing to Wanderlust.

Sure, a lot of the danceverses had multiple locations and were bigger, seemingly changing everyday.

But Wanderlust could never image this being part of the danceverse they were used to this being.

He had been to Mihaly's map a few times before. Golden pillars, the blue bright sky. That calm feeling that floated around, the Flow feelable almost.

He looked around. Next to him, Brezziana let out a noise of shock, hands flying to her mouth. She always was the most expressive one of the group. And he got why she reacted that way. None of the usual environment was there.

Instead they were in a dimly lit room.

It had been a normal day. Well, until Brezziana had bursted through his door and dragged him along for what she called a teambuilding exercise.

Sara was meeting them on Brezz her map but they just had to pick up Mihaly. At least that's what the prince had made out from the coach's rambleing over her schoulder while he was dragged along.

And so they had made their way to the portal he had made to Mihaly's place. Brezz's hand had immediately let go of him once the two noticed their surroundings.

A dimly lit room.

Outside, a purplish glow encompassed everything.

The streets were busy. You didn't even have to see it, it was hearable even through the closed window. It filled the space with noise.

Slowly he stepped further inside. In the corner stood a bed with teal blankets and a single pink purplish pillow. Posters hung around on the walls. The Master Panda poster confirmed what Wanderlust had been thinking.

This was Mihaly's room.

He turned around to where Brezziana was standing. She was unusually quiet which was definitely not right for her. A quick peek made it obvious why the influencer was so silent.

There on the wall hing a half torn poster, the other half laid in a ball on the floor. The image on the remaining piece was clear still.

There in full glory stood Night Swan.

The one they had previously defeated.

He couldn't exactly pinpoint the feeling in his chest at this. He turned to Discoball who had been floating around by the portal.

"Discoball, where exactly are we?"

A click behind him.

"Eternyx"

The words hadn't even fully left it's mouth as there in the now opened door opening stood Mihaly, earbuds in their hand, looking like a dear in headlights.

Sara loved to dance

So why doesn't she do it in front of others?

as someone who was a theater kid let me say

I don't think I got such strong theater kid vibes from just a character than I did Jack

Jack was a theatre kid in school. No doubt about it. Just look at his dramatic ass

I played sports so I have no frame of reference for this so I’ll take ur opinion on it

How did u get into just dance 👀👀

haha why thank you for opening the can of worms

Proper punctuation for this one, it’s long. Seriously. I’m basically putting my whole history with the Just Dance franchise in one post.

So, I got into Just Dance in kindergarten when my music teacher put on Cotton Eye Joe from Just Dance 1 as a fun little exercise thing.

However, I didn’t get deep into it until I started having sleepovers basically every weekend with my best friend at the time, and she introduced me to Just Dance 4 on her Xbox 360 (she also introduced me to Minecraft, but that’s a different story). We weren’t allowed to play Crucified or Disturbia, but every other song was on the menu. It was cool!

The funny thing is, I don’t think I’ve ever been a good dancer. I was just enamored by the colorful characters and the delicious songs. Most of my music taste comes from Just Dance soundtracks!

I didn’t have a console of my own until YEARS later, so I would look up the choreos on YouTube and follow along w/ them. Throughout the years at school, teachers would also put on choreos as fun little things! I still associate Moskau from JD 2014 with 3rd grade gym class.

Small tangent, I was moving states when they started putting Just Dance 2014 ads on TV. So, I really associate that game with these two weeks I was staying in a hotel before my parents could find an apartment. Troublemaker is a choreo I specifically remember seeing on TV.

When I got a Wii U, I got Just Dance 3 and 4 with it. Later on, I would acquire all the games (except for 1, 2, and 2014) up until 2017. Dude, I played them all the time. The YEARS I spent fixated on those games was insane. Most of my friends didn’t like them, so I didn’t have many people to play with, but it was fine. Also, I would literally point out any song playing on the radio and be like “Thats on Just Dance (insert game here).” I still do that.

Oh, and the first song I got 5 stars on was Me And My Broken Heart on JD 2015! It’s still one of my favorite choreos ;)

AND THEN! My Wii U broke! And instead of trying to find a place to fix it, my brother elected to SMASH IT IN THE BACKYARD WITH A HAMMER!

So I didn’t play much Just Dance after that. I still have all my old game discs, though. And I’d play it with friends at their houses if given the opportunity. Unrelated, but I’m also very unfamiliar with any game that came out after JD 2017 (sans 2023 and 2024) because of The Hammer Incident.

“Oh, gee, Spacey, this is so crazy, how’d the fixation grab you again?” Glad you asked! See, I started seeing edits of the Just Dance 2023 storymode and I went “LORE???? CHARACTERS?????? THEY HAVE NAMES NOW?????? AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”

And I immediately watched the story stuff on YouTube and fell in LOVE! I like the silly little cast! The songs they use in the story modes aren’t my faves, but the CHARACTERS and LORE are what I am here for.

So. Yeah. Then I got 2024 for my Switch (not smashed by hammers) as well as Just Dance+ and I’ve been on that grind ever since. It’s one of those games that I find most people tend to like. It connects people. I’ve kept foreign exchange students at my house, and we wouldn’t be able to hold a long conversation, but we could play Just Dance together. There’s a comfort in that. I could wax poetic on the beauty of Just Dance and its ability to bring people together, but I won’t.

Also, while I do adore the main cast of 2023/2024, I’ve kind of started to take older characters and give them names, personalities, and stories myself! So if you’re going to follow this blog or anything, expect a lot of that.

TLDR: Kindergarten bestie introduced me to Just Dance, was crazy about it for years, it faded into the back of my mind, the 2023 lore got me back into it.

Thank you for the ask! I love yapping!

Ok so I was thinking about what song could be used to open the 2025 storymode and I noticed that the openings of 2023 and 2024 both have a lot of the word dance in it (and often “just dance” too) so here’s my suggestion:

We open with a Jack map to Solo Dance by Martin Jensen

Yes I know it’s not a Bruno Mars song but…

It fits

“Which is better” storymodes week!!!!

Basically what I’m going to be doing is making the most liked story mode playlist almost, by seeing which songs out of the two people think is best. So kind of a combination of “Enter The Danceverses” and “Dance With The Swan”!!

(more information down below, please tell me if this doesn’t make sense or if you have any questions, I am trying to explain my idea to the best of my ability lol)

For example; If You Wanna Party by The Just Dancers V.S. Tainted Love by The Just Dancers (and) Physical by Dua Lipa V.S. Stronger (what doesn’t kill you) by Kelly Clarkson.

If Tainted Love were to win, I would have that be the last song in the storymode, and same for the Brezziana songs I listed as examples, and so on (possibly a mix of both the story modes to see what they create).

I have already started the poll for If You Wanna Party by The Just Dancers V.S Tainted Love by The Just Dancers, if you are interested in checking that one out. I plan to be doing this for every song in both of the storymodes and yes I did start this in the middle of the week, that was a mistake but it’s too late to turn back now I guess.

I’m sorry this was so long lol, have a great day!!

[wwwanderlust-topazzz]
