Immersive JUST DANCE LIVE to Take Video Game on Tour

Ubisoft announced today its first foray in to live entertainment experience with a pilot tour of JUST DANCE LIVE, an immersive and interactive experience, based on the #1 music video game franchise of all time.

"Expanding the 2D world of the video games in to a vivid 3D universe, JUST DANCE LIVE celebrates the characters, costumes, moves and music that more than 120 million global Just Dancers know and love, while providing an exciting new escape for fun seekers of all ages", said Hinde Daoui, Live Entertainment producer, Ubisoft.

JUST DANCE LIVE is an explosive 2+ hour experience, where the world of JUST DANCE comes alive like never before. Part stage show, part audience-involvement, fans play an integral role in the show-from walking the red carpet, to mingling with other JUST DANCERS, to transforming their hair and makeup looks in the "Get Ready For it" zone -- all before entering a thrilling live performance that surrounds audience members.

The pilot tour will visit The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami (March 8-11), the Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier in Chicago (March 15-18), Revention Music Center in Houston (March 22-25) and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (March 29-31).

Tickets are available on presale now to Ubisoft Club Members, on presale on Ticketmaster.com beginning October 30 at 10am EST and will go on sale to the public Thursday, November 2 at 10am EST, on Ticketmaster.com.

Regular ticket prices start at $45. A limited number of specially priced family four packs are available for each performance-early birds can receive four tickets for the price of three (a 25% savings)! A limited amount of VIP packages ($95-$99) are also available and include priority entry to the show, exclusive merchandise (Glow Up Glasses, Exclusive Draw String Bag and VIP Glow Laminate), a JUST DANCE in-game reward and a VIP meet & greet with cast after the show.

"We've partnered with the best of the live entertainment industry to create a live experience that will only continue to build on the strong foundation of our games", said Hinde Daoui.
