Hi. I just had this problem myself. I called support. You need to make sure that the mat is plugged into the round outlet on the wii with the one dot above it, or the player 1 terminal. Otherwise, the mat will be read as a player 2 mat and it won't work when the songs play.
INTEC MATS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DDR 2 (unless otherwise specified). So play with DDR1 or return them to store.
but KONAMI ones should work if you got the DDR 2 mats.
If its DDR hottest party than maybe your mat shorted out. that happend to mine after only 3 uses. Also try plugging it in differently. Be sure to plug it in all the way. And if you do get it fixed step lightly on the mat. if you stomp on it that the wires inside could break and not be able to send the info to the system. or maybe thats what already happend. Did you drop it? Or did it have a lot of weight on top? all of these cause the mat to short out.

I had the same problem. It turned out that the documentation was wrong--the picture showing the four ports on the Wii to plug the mat into was upside down. I moved the cable from the leftmost port to the rightmost port, and presto, everything worked! I think by having it in the wrong port, it thinks it's a secondary controller and so it lets you operate the menus with it but not actually play...it's expecting you to hook up the primary controller to the first port.

hand controllers and the A & B on the mat work but arrows on dance mat don't work.
I have the same problem. can't believe it would be shorted out, just took it out of the box! I hope someone out there can help! thanks
We have this EXACT problem. We took one back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. It does the same thing. The pad arrows work fine when setting up the game (except for character selection), but do not work in dance mode. Hand controllers work fine. Very frustrating! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the intec dance mat and it will not respond. Any ideas?
Ugh. Mat works for menu controls but not in dance mode. Second tim eusing it. What a disappointment!
We were given Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 as a Christmas gift, but the sensor never picked up the signals from the mat. The hand controls worked fine. We bought another mat and the same thing happened.
