Story
Due to learning about how Margaret's guest, Yu Narukami defeated Mikuratana-no-Kami by dancing, Caroline and Justine become jealous, as does Elizabeth in Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight. Due to this, the sisters challenge each other to a dance off, to prove who has the better guest. The losers would be "sent to hell." Similar to Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, upon completion of the event, everyone's memory of the events will be erased. Summoning the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad to dance, they are challenged to hype the crowd up as much as possible, the crowd being the Sea of Souls. The twins promise the Phantom Thieves a treasure if they dance for them. Due to the Velvet Room being between space and time, and the group being summoned in their dreams, they are able to visualize any dance they want, and their bodies perform the actions. After the completion of the ball, Justine, Caroline, and Elizabeth decide that competing to see who had the best guest was pointless, and declare both sides to have won. They then reveal the prize was the experience, which the groups accept as they had fun. The twins then add an additional reward, seeing the two of them dance as well.

Due to the characters getting their memories erased at the end of the story, the canonicity of the game is debatable, and no clear answer as to whether it's canon or not has been given by Atlus.

Gameplay
Alongside the dancing functioning exactly the same way as in Persona 4: Dancing All Night, a feature similar to the Confidants of Persona 5, here called "Social", exists. Ren Amamiya talks with other members of the Phantom Thieves, learning more about them. This is the main way to unlock alternate costumes and accessories.

Different partners can be chosen for each of the fever time sections in a song, and this time, two different partners can be unlocked, once the ability to do so is unlocked through Caroline and Justine's Social Link. Partners will express their relationships while dancing, each with different choreography.

Hair color and colored contacts can be individually set, alongside accessories, allowing for more variations and combinations.

Dancing in Starlight on PlayStation 4 is also compatible with the PlayStation VR, where players can view certain rooms and models.

Trivia

 * While the graphics and character models are based on the original game, there are some graphical updates made to the characters. (e.g. Ann's hair color is cream blonde instead of pale blonde).
 * The main characters' costumes are taken from the original game but have an updated look. (e.g. The Christmas costumes are given a lighter tone, and the maids' costume colors are swapped).
 * This is the only Persona Dance Night title to not feature Vocaloid-related content until Persona 5 had collaboration with Japan-exclusive smartphone game #Compass in June 2021.
