| ~ Night Swan |
Leda Nox, better known as Night Swan, is the villainous coach for "Witch" by Apashe featuring Alina Pash in Just Dance 2023 Edition and serves as the main antagonist of the story-based playlist for the game, "Enter the Danceverses". She returns in Just Dance 2024 Edition as the main antagonist of that game's story playlist "Dance with the Swan."
She was originally portrayed by Shirley Henault but is currently portrayed by Maïwenn Bramoullé.
Personality[]
A ruthless performer and sorcerer, Night Swan is an enigmatic figure who abducts coaches with the power of dark spells, trapping and sending them to her own personal dimension, where she twists them as part of her ever-growing army. A firm believer of perfection and order, she despises the Just Dancers because they do not dance perfectly, and believes her army will cause everyone within the Danceverse to become perfect. Her character may represent those who play Just Dance games and strive for perfection instead of having fun.
Night Swan appears to have a strained relationship with her son, as she seems to see him as simply another one of her minions and is shown during Jack’s dance routine watching him practice performing, offering no help or hindrance. She is also shown arguing with him about his affiliation with the Just Dancers, and briefly turned Wanderlust into her minion seemingly just to freak out her son, who has a close relationship with Wanderlust. She also corrupted his friends seemingly to also freak him out, as she wants him to remain loyal to her no matter what the cost.

As she steps down the staircase to a circular platform, she is accompanied by her army, with four of them (P2 of "Sweet Sensation", P3 of "I Like It", Kery Party, and P2 of "Temperature", whom she abducted at the end of "Can't Stop the Feeling!") serving as her backup dancers.
During the transition to the beat drop, sections of her throne room slowly rise up, revealing dimensional arches that leads to the backgrounds of "Can't Stop the Feeling!", "I Like It", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", "Physical", "Rather Be", "Sweet Sensation", "Temperature", and other unidentified maps. In the end, her minions remain trapped in the curse.
