Kuuderes and danderes are similar. A kuudere is closer to being cold and expressionless, whereas a dandere is merely shy and/or quiet (but capable of blooming into someone much more 'normal' and expressive when around an individual or group that they're close to. Kuuderes are more perpetually emotionally constipated). Dandere is more of a niche term that never really caught on unlike the much more commonplace tsundere, yandere, and kuudere. To use Rozen Maiden 2013 as an example (since that's one of the shows listed in your profile), Suigintou could qualify as a kuudere while Souseiseki would be a dandere.
