ITG has three general and non-exclusive playstyles: Stamina, Tech/FA, and Mods. There is an additional division with bar usage; generally people hold it on to it for balance in modern ITG, but no-bar is also common.
This video gives a good high-level overview of the different playstyles.
The songs in the Stamina / Footspeed category aim to challenge the physical capabilities of the players through the length and speed of the songs. Stamina charts predominantly feature continuous streams with minimal tech or mods.
The Technical / Fantastic Attack playstyle challenges players to accurately play the chart while executing tricky patterns such as crossovers, footswitches and brackets.
Mod charts challenge the player's reading abilities. Effects are applied to the arrows to make them more difficult to read.
A game mode/play style that uses both sides of the dance pad (8 panels) designed to challenge players' ability to accurately play charts that force the player to move across both pads.
Couples charts are specially designed for 2 players. There is a noteskin that colors the arrows according to player. The players move across both pads.
