Just Dance 2025 Edition, the latest edition of the dance video game developed by Ubisoft, introduces a choreography dedicated to raising awareness of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a developmental disorder that manifests itself with difficulties in attention, concentration, impulse control and activity level, influencing adaptation to the environment and the management of interpersonal relationships. Its prevalence is significant, especially in developmental age. The choreography present in Just Dance 2025 Edition, created to the tune of the song “BANG BANG! (My Neurodivergent Anthem)” by Galantis, aims to address the topic of ADHD in a positive and uplifting way. The song, created by Christian Karlson, a member of the musical duo who lives with ADHD, translates the artist’s personal experience into music.
Ubisoft’s goal is to use video games as a tool for raising awareness and inclusion, offering an experience that allows us to understand the challenges related to ADHD and enhance the unique abilities of people affected by it. According to Dr. Martina Migliore, an expert in cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, video games can play an important role in promoting awareness and social acceptance of ADHD. Just Dance 2025 Edition, with its dedicated choreography, demonstrates how entertainment can contribute to education and inclusiveness. Just Dance 2025 Edition is available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
