More DDR in the News

The headlines are popping up everywhere as of late! Yet another article about DDR, this time in the North Shore Sunday--a weekly newspaper in Massachusetts. It's a relatively long and in-depth piece.

Good article. Actually one worth reading. I just wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow to pay for the habit.

That was a well written article, though the beginning seemed a little like it was against DDR... maybe it was just me. good article though, well worth my time

Solid article. Now I can stop trying to explain the DDR community to everyone who asks me about it.

Definitely one of the best articles about DDR in a long time. I think I'll also start using it to send to people.

On that note, could we please start posting these article links in the "press" section of the website as well? I mean, that is where they're supposed to go.

I thought the article was pretty cheesy, but it was alot better than the others I've seen. But why the hell does it say that we dance??

If someone calls me a dancer I swear I will kick their A$$. I think everything could have been explained with a little more professionalism.

Because quite frankly nobody ever explains the musical side of DDR and nobody ever explains what it means to be good at it. I mean it's one thing to say that their are arrows on screen, but it would be a little more accurate to explain what the arrows mean.

Also, the article said that we were trying to make up dance moves??

Now come on?? Does this explanation really sound accurate to everyone that knows better?

I might play DDR but don't say that I do things that are blantenly not true!!!!

But as I said ealier, this article was a bit better then the others I've read.

In the end I could still write a better article in my sleep.
