Appearance of the Dancers
JD2014
The routine is a dance crew of four men. The dancers are from previous games, but with notable differences, as they have been remodeled to fit the more detailed style of the new dancers.
P1
P1 originated from Just Dance 2, in the track Rasputin. He also appeared in Hungarian Dance No. 5 from Just Dance 3. His black beard has grown bushier and has more detailed curls, his hat is now purple, he wears a new skin-tight jacket with purple-and-white striped lining held together with a shiny ribbon used as a belt, his purple pants are now baggier, and his boots now have a golden rim and are a dark purple.
P2
P2 was one of the coaches in the Just Dance 4 track Moves Like Jagger. He does not appear to have any differences in appearance from his original appearance, right down to his glove color. He has black hair in a red headband, no shirt, a red leather jacket with black horizontal stripes and shoulder blades, dark blue leggings with the Union Jack imprinted on it, and black boots. He appears to resemble Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.
P3
P3 also debuted in Just Dance 2, in the track Viva Las Vegas. His sombrero is now yellow with a red rim, his mustache is longer, his jacket is a paler shade of red, the two bands that wrap around his chest are now yellow, he has a yellow tie, a red belt, a yellow toolbelt, purple pants, and yellow boots with a silver band.
P4
P4 debuted in Just Dance, in the track DARE. He keeps his white helmet with a small red flame pattern at the bottom. His red-and-white headphones appear to have a long cord going into his pocket. His t-shirt with the number 8 on it is now yellow, and the "8" is white. He has blue sleeves. He has a white belt, blue shorts with red lining at the bottom, knee-high red socks with purple stripes, and white shoes.
Just Dance Kids
The coach is a boy dressed like a workman. He wears an orange helmet with protecting glasses, a white T-shirt, a bron leather glove, a light brown leather belt with some fanny packs, a apir of jeans and leather shoes.
Background
Main
The routine takes place at a disco with bright colors. Behind them the titular letters appear in the background as well, as they flash in the chorus.
Just Dance Kids
The background is a stage with an orange floor surrounded by some shiny dots and a step with a brown stripe in the middle and other shiny dots, supporting the letters that spell "YMCA", which are animated with downwards flowing LED lights and have their own colour (the Y is green, the M is blue, the C is yellow and the A is red). Behind it, there is a wall in shades of blue, green and red, with some shiny circles.
The left background dancer is a girl in a Native American outfit. She has dark brown hair in two pigtails and a bun on the top, a white headband, a necklace with a red feather, a red dress with white stripes and some fringes, and a pair of leather boots.
The right background dancer is a boy dressed as a police officer. He wears a black policeman hat with a silver emblem, a light blue shirt, a pair of black pants with a black belt, and black shoes.

Trivia
- When the first preview for this routine was uploaded, the pictograms were not synced with the routine. This was later fixed, and the video was re-uploaded.
- One dancer is recycled from Moves Like Jagger, while the rest of the dancers are also recycled but had recolored and edits to fit the new style.
- The pictogram colour for Viva Las Vegas and Rasputin are different because the Moves Like Jagger dancer also has a red pictogram, Viva Las Vegas looks more yellow than red, and Rasputin looks more pink than green in the updated version.
- The dancers do the actual dance for this song, making the letters Y, M, C, and A with their arms.
- This is one of the several songs to have all the avatars from the dancers, after Wild Wild West and Memeshikute.
- This is the 3rd Mashup to feature only one female coach, after Maneater, Love Boat, and Troublemaker.
- One song from every game before Just Dance 2014 features in this song alone, if Rasputin is taken as Hungarian Dance No. 5.
- P1 has the second most number of reuses, after the Panda (with C'mon, Timber, I Gotta Feeling, Don’t Stop Me Now (Alternate), The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody), and Daddy Cool).
- This is similar to Just Dance, although none of the reappearing dancers are playable characters and more than one from each game besides the original game appear.
- At the 2nd and 3rd verses of the song, each dancer does their main move from each of their original songs.
- However, they were updated.
- This is the order for least edits to most edits for the dancers.
- 4. Moves Like Jagger
- 3. Dare
- 2. Rasputin
- 1. Viva Las Vegas
- Each coach has his own avatar in Just Dance 2014, however:
- Rasputin is unlocked with 5 Mojo Coins payment.
- Moves Like Jagger is only unlockable in June with Y.M.C.A.’s Mashup.
- Viva Las Vegas is only unlockable in May with Troublemaker’s Mashup.
- DARE is unlocked when one reaches level 400 on the World Dance Floor.
- Thus, only one of the dancers is actually available with the song, while the rest must be accessed through other things.
- This is the first time this happens.
- All of the song’s coaches appear in the Mashup besides Viva Las Vegas (P3).
- P1 and P2 make a cameo in Just Dance’s background.
- This is the first non-solo routine that has a solo Mashup with its own dancers appearing. It is followed by Dark Horse.
- P2’s avatar can be unlocked by achieving Level 1000 on the World Dance Floor in Just Dance 2015.
- Also, the avatar seems different - his neck is now visible below his head in the avatar.
- It is likely that Moves Like Jagger is the only coach who was performed by his original performer.
- The 3 other dancers were played by Jérémy Paquet, who left Just Dance after the fourth game.
- Some pictograms for DARE are updated in the Mashup.
- This is the first song to have a dance crew with previous dancers from the Just Dance series, with the second being Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
- This is one of the few songs from the Kids series that appeared in the main series.
- On Just Dance Now, the menu icon has a light blue-green background instead of the correct one.
