A high school in my county (Middletown High School) Has 4 of them, 2 of which are in their cafeteria.

Sometimes I skip school visit my friends there, and play a few rounds. (Well, I can. I'm a teacher's aid my last block)

These articles in the press section of DDRfreak show schools adding DDR machines to their campuses. The first one just shows adding the machine so students to pass the time between classes and during lunch. The second shows a school adding it as a part of their PE class.

Heheheheheheheee...All the schools I know of here don't have DDR. But, I decided this was a GREAT idea so I asked my Taekwondo instructor about MAYBE using DDR in class. Guess what he said? YES!!! WOOOOO!!

I feel so AWESOME!!!! HAHAHAHAHAA! And if any of you are wondering...this school is Orange County High School of the Arts in California. I love thissssssss....oh and just wondering, any of you going to get a Nintendo DS? (Random...)

Well, my school is pretty poor so i doubt we'd get it, but one of the teachers has an xbox in his room sometimes, and i would think of bringing my pads and game there, but i don't want to wreck my cheap soft pads! I'm sure some person horrible at ddr would wreck it...

Back when I was in high school, we had an Anime Club that did DDR once in a while and that's about it. One year, on the last day of school, people set up DDR in the cafeteria when we were herded there while the seniors were practicing graduation (we have a huge cafeteria) and it definitely was a good time.

I go to college at Boston University, and we have a DDR club. We got $1400 to buy a laptop to run Stepmania as well as two Cobalt Flux Pads, and we take a trip to the MIT Student Center once a week or every other week or so.

If my school had DDR for PE I might've actually gone to class everyday or at least more than a few times a week.

This thread is funny.

If after you reading it, you imagine your principal or favorite teacher freestyling to "Let's Get Down Tonight," and doing all these old buttocks ATeam moves or whoever that group is.

Judging by the articles I keep seeing, DDR as a form of phys ed is really starting to pick up.

Look at the front page of my site (banner in sig) and you'll see 5 articles about DDR use in schools. There are more stories than that out there, obviously, but those are a good start if anyone is looking to convince their local school administration to invest in some DDR gear.

I've been writing letters, printing out articles, even bringing in the game, to school. Still, they say no. The only reason why is the money.

And as copyright ^^^ said up there, I brought in DDR to school and basicly played for the whole day. It was supposed to be a "display" of how much of a fun workout you can get from it.. meaning I just showed off my skills in front of my class.

But thanks to the person up above who linked the articles, I printed them out and I'm sending them to my school.
