Reader's Guide
Just Dance: Disney Party holds significance as a family-oriented entry in the Just Dance franchise, combining Disney music with the established dance-rhythm gameplay. Its inclusion of a duet mode marked a departure from the solo-dancer format of earlier Just Dance Kids games, and its use of original song versions rather than covers distinguished it from some other titles in the series. The game's track list of 25 songs and its release on both Wii and Kinect for Xbox 360 made it accessible to a broad audience. Actress Haley Lu Richardson appeared as a dancer in the song 'Hey Jessie.' A sequel, Just Dance: Disney Party 2, followed on October 20, 2015.
