dance machine

Step-pad video game

A dance machine is someone with exceptional dancing ability and tireless energy on the dance floor: She's a total dance machine—she's been going for three hours straight.

The term suggests both skill and stamina, often with a note of admiration.

Dance machine also refers to arcade rhythm games where players step on illuminated floor panels in time with music.
