Just Dance 3 is the third game in the Just Dance series. It was released for the Wii and Xbox 360 on October 2011 (7 for North America and 11 for Australia and Europe) and for the Playstation 3 on Decmber 2011. (6 for North America, 8 for Australia, and 9 for Europe)
A few more editions of the game were also released; one being a Best Buy Edition released in the North America that includes two new songs, another being a Special Edition released in Europe and Australia that included those same songs, and the last one being a Target/Zellers edition released in North America which featured two songs that are new and different from the other versions.
Overview
Just Dance 3 provided more ways for players to experience the game. Mojo was introduced in the series, where players earned it by gaining stars from dancing. The Mojo would fill up a gauge and when it filled up, a new piece of content was unlocked ranging from alternate dances to modes. One of the types of unlockable content Mojo provides are Mashups, a mixture of dancers combined to form one dance.
The Xbox 360 version included a Just Create mode. In Just Create, players could make their own choreographies to songs in the game and, if available, could send them out to the world for others to download and play them. A smaller mode was included in Just Create that allowed players to mix their own moves into premade routines.
Previous features to return include the Just Sweat, an excercise mode that counts the players' progress during their session, the Non-Stop Shuffle, a mode where players dance without interruptions, and DLC, additional content for the game to expand their library of songs.

Trivia
- The original release date in the NTSC region was October 11, 2011. This was pushed forward to October 9, 2011.
- This would be the last game in the series for a while to be released first in the NTSC (North America) region. The next time this would happen would be in Just Dance 2015.
- This game has the most DLC, despite most of them being tracks from previous games.
- This game has the most "Editions" aside from the regular game: a Best Buy Edition, a Special Edition, a Target Edition, and a Zellers Edition.
- This is the last game in the main series to feature effort ratings, Medleys, and the Simon Says mode.
- Playlists are introduced in this game, and they're the only game in the main series to not be customizable.
- In the Xbox 360 version, there is an option to choose either an "Easy" or "Medium" difficulty. The Easy difficulty would only track the top half of the body while the Medium difficulty would track all of the body.
- Unlike later games in the series, this one seems to be the most diverse among the consoles. The Xbox 360 version in particular has graphics that differ from the other versions. The Gold Move effect is also different (It only appears after the move and if the move was done correctly.)
- The song Kurio Ko Uddah Le Jana is actually called Didi Tera Devar Deewana, so it is unknown why it is referred to Kurio Ko Uddah Le Jana in the game. (and in later media) It is also labeled with lowercase letters as "Kurio ko uddah le jana", but is later labeled with uppercase letters in future appearances.
- The song Hungarian Dance No. 5 is said to be done by Johanes Brahms in the Xbox 360 version, but is referred to be done by The Just Dance Classical Orchestra (called in game as Brahms by The Just Dance Classical Orchestra) in the other versions. It is reverted back to Johanes Brahms in future appearances.
- Some of the poses for the songs are different between the Xbox 360 and the other versions. Examples of this include Price Tag and Tightrope (Solo Version).
