Dancing Stage is what DanceDanceRevolution is called in Europe. Due to the change in name, Konami was able to license songs from local artists like Natasha Bedingfield, Kylie Minogue, Steps, S Club 7, Aaron Carter and Spice Girls for the games while still being allowed to license songs from Dancemania (most of which were from European artists as well) for the arcade games. The name was also used on at least three special DDR games in Japan, in which two were dedicated to an entire band (for the third game, it allowed Konami to license songs from Avex, while still being a themed game).

In 2009, Konami retired the title and announced that three European DDR games, the arcade version of DanceDanceRevolution X and the Nintendo Wii gamesDanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 and DanceDanceRevolution Winx Club will be released without the Dancing Stage name.
