Inspiration

We're getting old, and with the cost of living at an all-time high, we wanted a fun (and free!) way to get some exercise. Naturally, this brought back memories of playing Just Dance on the Wii. Unfortunately, modern consoles and games aren't cheap, so we decided to bring the experience back ourselves. We wanted to relive the classics without needing expensive hardware, and ideally be able to play along to any dance video we could find on YouTube!

What it does

Turn almost any Just Dance video on YouTube into a playable dance game! Simply paste a YouTube link, and our servers automatically process the video, analyse the choreography, extract the dance poses and synchronise them with the music to generate a playable track.

You can also browse our library of already processed tracks and jump straight into the action. Using a webcam, laptop camera or even your phone camera, our computer vision-powered AI tracks your movements in real time and scores you based on how closely you match the choreography.

No Wii, no console, no motion controllers. Just your device, a camera and your best dance moves. See if you've still got what it takes to beat your childhood high scores!
