Dance Evolution

It includes 30 tracks, including 28 Konami original songs and two licensed Eurobeat songs. The spin-off Rhythm Party, titled Boom Boom Dance in Japan, was released on the Xbox 360 for the Xbox Live Marketplace on February 1, 2012. Evolution Arcade was released on March 27, 2012 in Japan as an arcade video game port. Although the gameplay remains the same, and all 28 Konami original songs from the Xbox 360 version return, it has several features that differentiate it with the original version. It uses Windows 7 and the original Kinect for Windows, and it offered e-Amusement functionality. On August 9, 2016, an offline kit for Dance Evolution Arcade was released. This kit allowed the game to run offline, although optional online support remains available indefinitely.

Dance Evolution Arcade features 15 licensed songs and 61 Konami originals, for a total of 76 songs. This includes the 28 Konami originals from the Xbox 360 version, which are fully unlocked in the offline arcade release. Another 19 licensed songs (including "Night of Fire" by Niko) and one Konami original ("Kind Lady" by Okuyatos) were available for online play at arcades, but were removed prior to the release of the offline kit. The offline kit adds the Konami original "Ha・lle・lu・jah" by Sound Holic featuring Nana Takahashi.

Since the release of Dance Masters and Dance Evolution Arcade, Konami has released two similar dance games: Dance Rush and Dance Around. Dance Rush is available for the general Asian arcade market, while Dance Around is exclusive to Round One Corporation arcades.

Dance Around, stylized as DANCE aROUND and named after Round One arcades, was first announced on November 10, 2021. It began location tests in select portions of the Japanese market through November 2021. Dance Around uses a pair of cameras mounted on either side of the cabinet to detect the player's body using parallax. The top half of the game's UI contains a continuously scrolling "Timeline" at the top of the screen, previewing the moves that are coming up, grouped into four-beat groups, similarly to the system in Dance Central. The bottom part of the game's UI shows prompts representing how the game expects the player to move. Most of the prompts are rounded rectangles that show the areas where the game expects the player's hands and feet to be in or moved into. Occasionally, there will also be trails of dots, along which the player is expected to move either hand, and yellow silhouettes representing full-body poses that the game expects the player to strike. The user's detected hand and foot positions are shown as pink, translucent overlays. In the background, computer graphics characters perform the dance in real time. By default, there will be three characters, the one in the center being the one chosen by the player. However, if using "Performance Style", the game moves the avatar into a window in the corner, and it mimics the players movements in the real world. This leaves the center area clear, and makes for less clutter on screen. "Performance Style" unlocks the ability to record the player's movements on certain songs, and play them back on a Web-based interface later. This data is stored for 7 days and can only be watched 10 times.
