Hello,

In the DDR games, there is "training mode" which allows you to do things such as play a song slowed down and to play only certain sections of a song. Before I shell out money for a USB dance pad, I was wondering if stepmania has a similar option? I would really appreciate anyone's help!

Stepmania has rate mods on the song options screen, which is a second options screen that comes after the normal player options screen.
Stepmania also has practice mode, but I've never tried to use practice mode so I don't know how good it is.

You can play Stepmania with a keyboard, and you should do that to try it out.

You can also go to EDIT mode and play certain sections of a song on a pad by using the space bar to select the beginning measure and space again for the final measure then Shift+P to begin playing, then step on the arrows with your pad. But that's not very convenient, typically I just use the rate mod to slow songs down if I need to get used to it.
