Noob question: Do your DDR skills transfer to a dance club?

Just curious

Does it help?

Memorize the steps to a song, go to a club, then bust a move in the middle of a floor with an imaginary DDR mat on the ground.

In a nutshell, no

Maybe freestyling would, but good old fashioned DDR will do nothing but maybe improve your stamina a bit.

I think you're very shallow and pedantic.

As was said, freestyling might transfer. The only arrow-smash skill I can think of would be hands, and I'd think you'd have to do a whole routine of Twilight Expert's ending set of hands to be that impressive. As far as impressing people, I don't think many people are that impressed by clearing even 10s and up on the actual pad. Without a pad, I can't imagine how weird I'd look.

DDR IS NOT DANCING. DDR IS SHUFFLING AROUND.

It's more like the other way around, my dance skills transfer to DDR. I agree, it will only help your stamina as far as real dancing, but if you plan to learn how to be a b-boy or b-girl, it will help you learn that nifty lil six-step that you'll use as a base move for pretty much everything.

No. DDR barely involves any dance. It involves rhythm, but not dance per se. If I saw you crossing-over or galloping at a club I'd slap you.

Um... DDR is a FORM OF DANCE. Regaurdless of how stupid it looks.
But... No... Even though it is a legitimate form of dance.... for God's sake.... don't do it in a club.. they'll throw you out of a gay bar even.

DDR just isn't the most social form of dance ^.^

My sister saw a guy actually pretending to play DDR at a dance club and he lost a lot of friends that night.

If you have no rythm, DDR can possibly help. But like any other videogame, pushing buttons in response to a screen can only make you better at pushing buttons in response to a screen.
