"Break Free" by Ariana Grande ft. Zedd is featured as a free DLC on Just Dance 2015, and appears on Just Dance Now, and Just Dance Unlimited.
Appearance of the Dancer
The dancer is a woman who is mainly a comic-styled superhero character. She has yellow hair and wears red lipstick. Her outfit resembles the flag of America because her dress has white and red stripes and her leggings are blue with white stars. Her top is mainly blue with yellow and red situated on the upper left shoulder. She is also wearing what is likely to be a belt that says POW! in a shock bubble.
Every time the dancer spins, a large WHOOSH! can be seen near her dress.
Background
The background starts off with a simple POW! effect. Then, a reflection of the dancer appears behind her in the background, highlighting her facial features even more. The background becomes more and more comical, with comic shades and hues and comic dialogue (such as BOOM!, WIZZ , BAM!, ZOOM!, and SNAP!). Everything repeats over and over until the bridge.
The screen turns completely purple near the end, before the beginning of the instrumental part, in which everything repeats again. It ends with a white strip saying "The End?".

All Gold Moves: Standing to the left, hold out your hands near your hips. This is done while Ariana Grande sings "Oooh!"
