Ubisoft Brings Music Video Game Franchise To Life In JUST DANCE LIVE! Ubisoft is presenting its first live entertainment experience with its pilot tour of JUST DANCE LIVE, an immersive and interactive show, based on the #1 music video game franchise of all time. JUST DANCE LIVE will feature hits from Pharrell Williams, Jessie J., Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and many more.

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 tour launched at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami March 8-11, then travels to 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 for all venues are available at Ticketmaster.com.

JUST DANCE LIVE invites fun seekers of all ages to escape into the colorful, fun and vibrant world of JUST DANCE for a few hours. JUST DANCE LIVE brings people together around a truly feel good experience. The participants will share a memorable moment with their loved ones, will meet new people who can become friends for life, and who knows... they may even meet the love of their life.

Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com. For more information please visit www.justdancelive.com.

Regular ticket prices start at $20 for Thursday evening performances and $45 for all other performances. 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.

Hinde Daoui is the Producer of JUST DANCE LIVE. As a passionate live shows enthusiast, she started her career as communications manager on Cabaret and The Lion King musicals in Paris. She joined Ubisoft in 2010, and after heading the international events at Ubisoft for several years, she came up with the idea to develop a new type of activity within the company: the Live Entertainment. Her team's mission is to translate the worlds of Ubisoft into stage live shows & experiences.

JUST DANCE LIVE was developed by some of the leading creators of live entertainment experiences in the world, helmed by Creative Director Kim Gavin, with production design by Stufish Entertainment Architects and production management by Stufish Productions.

Kim Gavin is the creative and innovative force behind some of the most spectacular events ever seen by audiences worldwide.

Kim has worked alongside the biggest names in music, dance and sports, including, Westlife, Pink, Robbie Williams, world famous ballerina Darcey Bussell, opera singer Katherine Jenkins and gold medalists Torvill & Dean. Kim has also continued a longstanding relationship with Take That, as Artistic Director for their UK and European tours, including their first ever 'in-the-round' tour in 2017 which was called 'bonkers but beautiful' (Birmingham Mail), 'a flaming carnival of pop' (The Guardian) and 'something to behold' (Telegraph). Kim is Director of The Band musical that made its worldwide debut in September, breaking box office records as the fastest selling UK theatre tour ever.

Stufish is a global architecture, design and production studio whose work redefines the live entertainment experience- from designing the venue and sets to fully realizing a show's creation and production. Stufish's theatrical projects include KÀ, Believe and Viva Elvis for Cirque du Soleil and Steve Wynn's Showstoppers in Las Vegas, Bear Grylls (including production services, script development and show direction) and their own production SOHO.

Stufish was the first firm ever to design all architectural and show elements for the award-winning Dai Show Theatre building as well as the interior, set and stage design for its acrobatic water show. In addition to other cultural entertainment buildings in China (the Han Show theatre, Wanda Movie Park and Nanchang Wanda Mall), Stufish has designed installations including the Millennium Show at the Dome in London, and the 'Big O' at Yeosu Expo2012 in South Korea, and most recently, the acclaimed Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains in the V&A Museum in London.
