I'm in highschool which pretty much counts me out, I think a general amount of highschool students have a hatred for the game and a greater capability to vandalize it in some way. Wish I could be of more help.

I would love to have a DDR machine at my school, but I don't think it would be allowed. I think it'd be fun if we had a DDR club at my school too.

DDR club at school = yes

DDR machine at school = no

Yeah seeing how some people would probably stomp the living daylights out of the poor machine; I dont suggest public schools getting a machine. Yet, a DDR club would be awesome and help promote good DDR manners for when their at the arcade. (Because everyone hates ddr newbs who are rude.)

i don't think any of us will live to see the day that schools would allow DDRmachines. there's no possible way that any school board would allow it. how many schools can you think of that allow video(arcade)game machines? i can't think of any

in our snack bar we have Street Fighter and Tekken 2, and that police shooter game. DDR would be a perfect addition in the room but not many would actually play it. a big issue is funding, i mean for 8,000 bucks would a school buy a video game or like a 1000 books, think for a second.

I wish our school would get one. We'll probably find a way to get one, haven't asked or anything yet....Damn school spends like $20,000 every friggin year polishing the damn gym floor. They probably spent a super amount on a really nice but stupid mural across the gym wall which is almost finished now....Cmonnnnn....Its "cheap" compared to those other things;)

My school is too poor, and filled with too many idiots that will kill the machine on it's first week of being there.
The administrators are idiots too..they would see it as not an exercise..but as a "game"

The Norco Boys would have a lot fun cracking the screen...or breaking into it's quarter/token slots to take the money...

Probably have gum all over it too..

Some of our vending machines had to be covered twice with some guard stuff...cause people would try and get into the machine..since both DDR and vending machines..are machines..they would probably get the same treatment of abuse..or near there.

That was funny

Me and a couple of friends would skip class to buy a hot dog and play Final Fight at a nearby laundry. That and 1942.

I didn't have DDR back when I went to school but when I heard of schools getting it I thought it was a good idea

then DDR would spread to more and more people they would know about it because if you went to someone and you tell them about DDR they're like

what is that then you tell the game that you have step on arrows they're "oh that game" I don't know whether that is true but its true for me anyways you should get a DDR petition started or poll of somewhat to see how many people who actually be into it and regulate it to rules or after school to perserve the DDR, another solution open a debate to how DDR would be useful or help in some way. Keep the faith in it though. DDR 4 EVER

My school got pump it up last year but ended up selling it because not enough kids used it (probably cuz it was pump.) Im not really sure if anyone told them to get it or what. probably had something to do with the fact that when my school was built it was the most expensive high school to build in the nation.

when my school has a carnival or something...they order a DDR machine.(along with rides...the ones that they have a county fairs...and other games)

Well, I am thinking about talking to my school principal about like, the next time there is like a family fun night or something they could bring in a DDR machine and I give people a tutorial and show them how hard to step, and make it so you don't have to pay to play.

i think having a ddr club in school is actually a good idea. the likelyhood of the school actually paying for a ddr machine is extremely low. however, if you form a ddr club you can just have someone bring in the game, others bring pads, and use one of the school's tvs to play. if the club is extremely successful or holds a massive fundraiser it may be possible for the school to actually get the machine.
