Disney+ Hotstar streamed Dance Dance Danseur exclusively in India but removed it before the service merged with Reliance's Jio Cinema.
The anime premiered in Japan on the Super Animeism programming block on MBS, TBS, and 26 other channels in April 2022. The show streamed in Japan only on Disney+'s Star content hub. The project marks the first time a manga by Asakura got an anime.
The manga centers on Junpei Murao, who was fascinated with ballet as a child, but in his second year of middle school, his father passed away and he decided he needed to become more "masculine," and he gave up on his aspirations. While still having an attachment to ballet, he takes up the martial art of Jeet Kune Do, and becomes popular in his class. Then one day, a new transfer student named Miyako Godai arrives in Junpei's class, and her mother runs a ballet studio. Miyako realizes that Junpei is interested in ballet, and invites him to do ballet together.
Munehisa Sakai (Zombie Land Saga) directed the anime at MAPPA, and Yoshimi Narita (My Senpai Is Annoying, Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart.) was in charge of the series scripts. Hitomi Hasegawa (Twittering Birds Never Fly: The Clouds Gather animation director) designed the characters. Naoya Homan was the dance choreographer, and Hajime Ohtani was the ballet technical director with ballet animation directors Tsuyoshi Kuwahara and Atsushi Ogasawara. MICHIRU composed the music.
YUKI performs the opening theme song "Narihibiku Kagiri" (As Long as it Reverberates), and rock band Hitorie perform the ending theme song "Kaze, Hana" (Wind, Flower).
