The hottest dancing craze continues with a brand new
sequel to Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Dance Dance

The original DDR game swept American pop culture into a
dancing frenzy with the game having made appearances on

craze in the country. The home version arrived in March
1999 and boosted the game's popularity even further,
selling over 3 million units cumulatively. DDR was
introduced to U.S. arcades in 1999, becoming one of the
top grossing games at arcade centers. The first U.S. home
version of DDR was released in March 2001.
