Status: dormant; 2015
I'm a big fan of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and its clones (including StepMania and In The Groove) because they fully engage me both mentally and physically; I've also found that some of my training playing the piano is transferable to these games. As of August 2015, I play at around level 11 on the In The Groove scale. A good dance pad is a requirement to have a good experience at this level, so as of April 29, 2015, I've set up my own dance pad to provide an alternative to commuting to the local arcade. It's a Precision Omega ITGX with the multi-console control box (no longer sold; most similar product) and a slight modification of the Precision bar kit described here to make it possible to pack the base smaller for moving and storage.
