Latest update · v1.6.9

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

We've squashed some pesky bugs to improve your playing experience!

Recurring themes

Ads negative
A dominant complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, appearing after almost every action or every few seconds, severely interrupting the user experience. This directly contradicts the developer's vague 'bug fixes' update, as ad frequency is a major user experience issue.R11R13R24R37
Paywalls & Locked Content negative
Many essential game elements, including dance moves, clothing, locations, and even character skin colors, are locked and require payment or a subscription to unlock. This is seen as unfair, especially for a game aimed at children, and an 'unfair advantage' in competitions.R7R11R21R32
Competition Fairness negative
A significant number of players feel the game is rigged, reporting that they frequently lose competitions even when performing well, or that the AI opponents always win. Some note that the game pits them against AI, not real players, which can feel less engaging.R3R23R25R28
Lack of Updates negative
Users express a desire for more updates and new content, noting that the game feels stagnant or hasn't been updated in a long time. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes' but users still report issues and a lack of new features.R4R58R59R142
Content Appropriateness negative
Some reviews point out that certain content, such as curse words in hip-hop songs or 'inappropriate' premium ads, is not suitable for a game intended for children.R10R52R196

Who it's for

This game is for young girls R6 who enjoy dance, particularly ballet and hip-hop, and are looking for a competitive game with character customization R1R5R15R38. It might appeal to those who can play offline R26. It is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by frequent ads, paywalls for basic features, or a perceived unfair competition system R11R50R107R25.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on ads and paywalls. While there are positive reviews, they often come from long-time players or those who enjoy the core concept despite the issues. The lifetime rating of 4.6 suggests a more positive past, but the recent trajectory is clearly negative due to the monetization strategy and lack of updates.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Ballet: I personally love ballet because I have always been a dancer. Since I was three I have done ballet and now I’m doing competitive dance which is why I like this game it’s very competitive and very unique!
  2. [R5] 5/5 · US Love: I love this app so much. These are both what I dance too. I do hip-hop and ballet and to see a hip-hoper and a ballerina go against each other. It’s just like oh so your other half so I just like going to get your other house between the mad at it or not so but you should definitely do hip-hop because you don’t really have to do as much as you doing ballet.
  3. [R15] 5/5 · US Best game: I love ballet and competing so this is perfect for me 🩷🩰🩰
  4. [R38] 5/5 · US Amazing work 👏👏👏: This game is like magic and I love it so much. It’s a great way to learn about how to dance hip-hop or ballet. And it has really pretty dresses for the ballerinas too. The dance moves are so cool and real like doing competition.
  5. [R4] 5/5 · US Why I like the game and not. Like it: First I like it cause all the people are gorgeous but I don’t like it cause I won’t upgrade like it’s been 5 years and no updates since idk since it released

  8. [R11] 3/5 · US Idk: The game is good it’s self but there so much ads as soon as I got the game a ad came in my face and have of the dance moves you have to do a ad or pay for like what hell but the game is really fun.

  15. [R3] 2/5 · US Don’t get this game if you don’t want to!⚠️😩😫: This game is bad and I won sometimes and i feel like i mostly lost and there is no chat button without it causes mean problems.😓😥So whenever i do hip hop or ballerina then at the dance the other person i was dance battling did mean motions like i will never win.😫😡When that person was dancing i did mean motions the same! That was weird! And guys there
  16. [R25] 1/5 · US Dance clash: It’s hard for you to win and you can tell your going against AI which lowers the rating a lot maybe change that and I will give a better review

  20. [R10] 4/5 · US If this is a kids game, why does one of your hip-hop songs say the A word?: I was listening to one of the songs at the competition scene, and there was one word that stood out to me. It was watcher a word, and it didn’t say a word. It said the actual word like I will spell it out for you. A-s-s this is a curse word and should not be in a kid game.

  25. [R23] 1/5 · US Fitness: When I get the final score it gives me a 0 on my fitness levels even though I worked out on the hardest level. I feel this is biased against the ballet side and this could be improved or if I could have a way to fix this that would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
  26. [R28] 2/5 · US Why this game is 2 stars: This game is alright but I thought when it did the comps that you win but for the other person or AI or whatever that they win as well there is some ads and it’s kinda boring but hope all of y’all have fun with this game
  27. [R59] 5/5 · US updates: add more updates
  28. [R142] 3/5 · US It's mid: It's good game but it's has bad quality but it's is still a good game we need more updateds frfr
  29. [R52] 1/5 · US disappointed: this game is terrible I literally ate down then got 655 stars. do better. the front page to buy premium is highly inappropriate.
  30. [R196] 3/5 · US Umm good but suspicious and expensive: This game is pretty good but there are so little choices when it comes to shirts, pants, songs, accessories, dance moves, floor music and background you need to pay for everything and it’ll ask you if you want to sign up for premium in the ad for the premium is a little sus.
  31. [R107] 1/5 · US WHY ISTHE GAME RACIST…: so I played it for some days and I was bored of being white but when I wanted to be my skin color YOU HAVE TO PAYYYYYY.. I’m mad🥰🥰 up your money not for funny
  32. [R129] 3/5 · US Seriously: Everything is locked and ofc u have to pay for it and it’s so annoying especially if u don’t have the money to be wasting it on a game
  33. [R96] 1/5 · US TO MANY ADS: There is an ad like every 30 seconds. It is so annoying!!! I’ve only been playing for maybe 5 minutes and I have all ready gotten a million ads. I don’t understand how a game could have so many ads, the ads are the same ones too. The same two I’ve been getting is one for a gymnastics game and a fashion game.😡
  34. [R330] 3/5 · GB TOO MANY ADDS!!!!! 😔: This game is fun and all, without the adds. Also, there is so many thing you cant get bc u only can if u pay- LEMME JUST PLAY THE GOD DAM GAME
  35. [R62] 2/5 · US Er…: The game is fun but it’s boring. 1: It’s boring because usually we just dress up and dance and practice that’s all. 2: it’s racist. Because, the different skins need to be bought which is so unfair and ridiculous. 3: the dance pose packs ALL ALMOST locked! They need to be bought for some reason. That isn’t fair because we only get some poses with some ads and some free while almost all ne
  36. [R80] 3/5 · US Can have some improvements.: Hello, My name is Astrid and I am a game critic. This isn’t the best Coco Play game. It doesn’t beat Cheerleader Champion Dance Off. For our first round, it doesn’t make sense to make us lose. This game is very limited. The leaderboard has bots, not real people. My critic friends, Evelyn, Jessica, Kelsey, Bernice, and Claudia doesn’t think this game is really the great
  37. [R108] 1/5 · US Read this before getting the game it’s good but now it’s really bad: I like it but it’s 3 problems when you get this game. You will always lose and there’s 2 problems you don’t know those ppl who you want to beat but that’s a npc it’s not a real person and pls don’t get this game cause everything is not cheap at all and you have to have ad every time you want to get clothes and dances
  38. [R126] 3/5 · US nice game but there’s some problems: The game itself is good, but so rigged and there’s bugs. you guys don’t have SKINS unlocked that’s absolutely ridiculous. almost everything is locked or needs ads. and the ads, don’t even get me started. The game is good but you should really make some adjustments. and on top of that you play against npc players, you should make a version of online people kind
