DanceDanceRevolution Dan Courses

DanceDanceRevolution Dan Courses

Dan (段位認定, Dan inintei, also known as Class) are a series of courses ranked so that each course is harder than the last. These courses were first introduced in DanceDanceRevolution A20 on March 28th, 2019, although similar courses existed in DanceDanceRevolution X, as DANCE DRILL COURSES.

The Dan courses are exclusive to 20th Anniversary model cabinets on Premium mode. They are unavailable during Versus Play.

Initially, the 1st Dan course is available by default. Players who pass this course can access the next course, and so on. However, clearing courses with a higher rank will allow access to more than one course (obtaining any AA rank will unlock two courses, while obtaining an AAA rank will unlock three). Singles and Doubles Play courses must be accessed separately, as different songs are used for each. Courses up to 8th Dan are accessible for all players, whereas 9th Dan, 10th Dan, and Kaiden must be accessed by achieving BRONZE, SILVER, and GOLD CLASS in GOLDEN LEAGUE (ゴールデンリーグ), respectively.

The following modifiers are fixed while playing Dan courses:

  • TURN: OFF
  • ASSIST: OFF
  • LIFE GAUGE: GRADE

From July 25th, 2019, an update was applied to allow for short breaks in-between songs, referred to as "BREAK TIME".
