Gold Move

A Gold Move is a special dance move that gives a huge amount of points if done correctly. When the song reaches its Gold Move, the player will get a "YEAH" if they do it correctly, or an "X" if they miss. There is no "OK" or "GOOD" rating on a Gold Move, except in the series.

As described in the Wii U Electronic manual: "Some moves are more than just moves: they are Gold Moves. You will recognize them by the golden pictogram and special effects around the dancer. Doing these correctly will earn you a lot of points."

Main series
Gold Moves appear in every song. On average, Gold Moves offer 200-300 points.

In every game, Gold Moves change sound effects and the pictogram design. The pictograms for the moves are displayed as completely golden in Solo routines; however, in Duets, Trios and Dance Crews, the pictograms have their respective color, but they have a golden outline. When the background is mainly golden, the Gold Moves in some songs are outlined in red, and keep their normal pictogram color.

Gold Moves in Duets, Trios and Dance Crews are often obtained by all the players simultaneously but not always. They can also be obtained separately or in a "wave" (for example: Player 1 gets their Gold Move first and directly after Player 2 gets theirs). Starting from, if a Gold Move is performed correctly, the Wii-Mote and PlayStation Move will vibrate. The Wii-Mote and PlayStation Move will also make a sound if correctly received, barring. In Dance Crews, when Gold Moves are performed in a row, the sound pitch gets higher. In Just Dance Controller, the phone will make a sound if the player does a Gold Move correctly.
