i love stepmania...i play it all the time..even though i am still a noob on stepmania...i do practice well....since this is just a simple computer game but still it uses the art of finger alertness.....what i mean is that ur fingers must have the dexterity to accomplish the game..so its kinda like mastering PS.XCM,and etc......since it uses the dexterity of the hand....i can say it in my opinion that this game mus be called as another manipulation art.....
