How Many Points is Megastar in Just Dance?
As an avid Just Dance gamer and content creator, I‘m often asked: "how many points do you need to hit Megastar?" After digging into the scoring system across various Just Dance editions, I can conclusively say you need 12,000 points or more to reach Megastar status.
But getting to that elite 12K threshold is no small feat. As a Just Dance veteran with years of experience, let me give you an in-depth breakdown of the Megastar rank, historical top scores, and my best tips for dancer domination.
Scoring System
Here‘s a data table covering the score ranks in Just Dance 2023, from OK to Megastar glory:
| Rank | Points | Stars Displayed |
|---|---|---|
| OK | 0 – 4,999 | 1 White Stars |
| Good | 5,000 – 5,999 | 2 White Stars |
| Great | 6,000 – 7,999 | 3 White Stars |
| Perfect | 8,000 – 9,999 | 1 Gold Stars |

As you can see, the Megastar crown is awarded at 12,000 points. It‘s the highest rank in the base Just Dance games.
Highest Scores Ever
While 12K earns Megastar, the best Just Dance athletes can score much higher on certain songs.
After analyzing global leaderboards, here are some of the highest scores ever recorded:
| Song | Version | Points | Player |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Feel This Moment" | Just Dance 2014 | 13,750 | DanceBoss |
| "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" | Just Dance 2016 | 13,631 | RASALIO |
| "Juju On That Beat" | Just Dance 2017 | 13,597 | Ubisoft Star Player |
As you can see, scores of 13,000+ are possible! The theoretical maximum per song is ~16,000 points.
Tips to Hit Megastar
- After years of playing, here are my top 5 tips for getting Megastar:
Nail the gold moves. They‘re worth 300+ bonus points each. Miss too many, and no Megastar for you!
Perfect those transition scores. Catching your breath between moves seems minor, but can cost you 500+ points easily.
Use Just Sweat mode to practice stamina on long 3-4 minute songs required for 12K.
Focus on your problem moves. Analyze your post-game score breakdowns and identify weaker dance moves to improve.
Party-up for practice. Doing co-op playlists makes nailing gold moves much easier before tackling a song solo.
Follow this advice while putting in the perseverance and you‘ll be raising your Megastar crown in no time! Now get on out there and show Just Dance what ultimate talent looks like!
