This is one of the few physical activities that I participate in and it's mostly because it uses every part of your body- the visuals, music, dancing, trying to keep balance, and it's something I do with my friends. it's perfect, there's not much else that does this much and it's something very unique. I'm one of a small group at my school who does this and I've met many new friends this way.

On the contary, DMX uses a LOT more of your body if you want to, ESPECIALLY during doubles. It's fun when you throw your head through the sensors.

i plat ddr for the respect and the fun because when i AA Legend of Max or paranoia survivor max...it puts i good relief on my chest and watching their faces in great amazement

and i also have a club at my school where me and all of my friends play ddr its great fun. and i get lots of practice anyways so this game isn't a waste of time like some ppl may say

I don't play DDR. Why don't I? Because I don't have anywhere to practice where I could get good before going and tring to draw a crowd. Because when they're laughing, a crowd is NOT good for the ego. Though, it has been sprouting up all around me. I went to another school for a debate tourny, and the school was holding a DDR tourny in the cafeteria. Funky. (Or dancy, really.)

I saw one guy playing it at an arcade. He was pretty good, and I was really impressed. So I gave it a shot once he was done....and did horribly. Since then, I've been practicing to make sure I would not embarras myself today. These days, I can A most heavy songs and I can draw some serious crowds

so I'd say the crowds are what makes me play. That, and I just got a metal pad fo christmas

i guess i play because i feel an urge inside of me that says i have to, i feel addictid, i feel better after i play, i guess i play to releive phycological stress.

I enjoy DDR alot. It's something I can do with my friends and it makes me feel better about myself because i'm not just sitting around not doing anything. It helps to build confidence when you can tacke a song that you couldn't play before, or even get parts that you used to miss. It keeps me in shape, and makes my brain work faster. When I first started playing DDR, watching those arrows was the hardest thing. They would come up to fast. Now that i'm used to it, it doesn't bother me much anymore.

Odd, the only reason my friend can't play DDR for over an hour straight is BECAUSE she has asthma =\

The only reason I started playing was because 3 moths earlier i had broke my ankle during the football season. So i used it as a rehab tool, and got it for christmas. I have gotten pretty good and can almost A every song on heavy, yet I haven't tried to go to an arcade. I will have to do that sometime. As for me, i don't have to lose weight, so after I rehab, I'm not sure how much longer i will play. Actually, it's just too addicting, I think i will play forever. Too bad my school doesnt have any ddr clubs, or Japanese classes, or anything, I'm so glad we wasted our money on a new gym floor, and new railings.
