I don't think it would work at all. There's a limit on everything on DDR, unlike all the olympic sports. Once you hit that limit, you're stuck. Once -everyone- hits that limit (which would happen after a few years with DDR being in the olympics), it's no longer competitive, and is thus no longer a sport.

Is this true?
No!

But you can only go so far with edits. Eventually you end up with keyboard edits, and you might as well be playing IIDX or something.

It's way too dependant on technolegy.

Look at the games in the Olympics. They're all "Let's bounce a ball, let's jump with a stick".

But DDR is all "Hey, let's jump on a metla sensor with wires and watch a screen tell us what to do and the mechanical scoring system will tell us who won".

Nope. Never going to be in Olympics.

If curling is an Olympic sport, D.D.R. has a chance. Why? Because itÂ’s harder than curling, and if you can AA or AAA Max 300 (or any other Max song) on heavy, you deserve a medal.

What I wrote in the last Olympics+DDR topic... there's been so many wrote:
Goodness, DDR an Olympic event? I hope that never happens. People train their entire life for the Olympics and it would seem like a mockery to just have some video game be added to the roster.

Even though i think it would be a great idea this statement is so true. Most DDR players could care less about staying physically fit. Why do you think alot of people need this just to get in shape. IMHO I'd probably protest if this got added. It just wouldn't be fair to the people that actually worked to get to the olympics. Olympians represent the top tier of physical achievement and DDR players can't compare to that.
