Basically, DDR is a game for most of the gaming consoles out there that uses a pad on the floor with 4 direction arrows. The object of the game is to step on the appropriate arrow during a minute and a half clip of some dance track. If you aren't a fan of various types of dance music it may not be as much fun. When I first started it was very easy to keep my heart rate between 60 and 75% almost from the get go. Now it takes longer to get there and I drop out of that zone faster between songs, which is a nice indicator that my recovery time is coming down. It is probably on par with jumping rope.
