That is exactly why I stopped playin DDR. It just stopped being fun for me. Since then I have had much more fun with DrumMania and Beatmania. I don't like Guitar Freaks though. It doesn't feel natural. Guitar Hero is much better than Guitar Freaks. But in the way of dancing Pump is way more fun. For the most part it has better music, (save for most of taka's work, RevenG, and DJ Amuro), more logical steps (no mindless stepping for me), and less annoucer guy (I am aware you can turn him off but still....). I know you had to have tried Pump there BF.
