[Zikachu]

Can I join? My fav songs are Cartoon Heroes, Love Shine, Starmine and Bumblebee. I'm currently on Standard difficulty and I've been playing for 1 year.

 

[FlamingRuby]

Okay, welcome aboard!

::updates list::

A year of playing would probably put you at a Rising Star rank. You're welcome to brag about that in your sig.

And before you ask, my favorites are "Butterfly", "Nori Nori Nori", "Witch Doctor", and "Make it Better", to name a few.

 

[Octillery]

May I join?
I have been playing DDR for about a year, and Im only on Light Mode and one standard mode song. My favorites that Ive played since I just like them, are "Captain Jack: Grandale Mix", and Speed over Beethoven

 

[FlamingRuby]

Okay, you'd probably fit a Novice Dancer.

::updates list::

Today's question: Do you sing along with the song while you dance?

 

[Brock Phillips]

Can I join please?

I plan to buy the Nintendo dancemat game on Friday, if it's in the shops.

I rarely use a dance machine, but when I do use one, at the arcades, I use the easiest possible level, and my favourite tunes are the "kung fu fighting" remix, and the Mucho Mambo remix of the one that sort of goes "when the (something) rhythm starts to play, let it sway, 'swingy-sway'."
(Don't quote me on the lyrics.)

I'm probably a Newbie Dancer, due to my lack of expertice.

As for singing to the music, sometimes I do so in my head, as I'm a bit self-concious on the "dancefloor."

Brock Phillips.

 

[FlamingRuby]

::updates list::

I sometimes catch myself singing "Butterfly"...

 

[Brock Phillips]

Thankyou FlanmingRuby!!

*Sings dance version of "kungfu fighting" to myself.*

Brock Phillips.

 

[FlamingRuby]

Just so you know, you can spread the word by sticking this in your sig:

"I'm a (insert rank here) in [link]The Dance Dance Revolution Fan Club![/link]"

If you need me to tell you how to put that in your sig I will.

 

[Brock Phillips]

Thanks.

Is it, cut-and-paste, but change the in brackets to the rank that you are?

(I'm feeling a bit stupid after a full half-day of hard, enjoyable sweeping up.)

Brock PHillips.

 

[Zikachu]

I don't really sing while dancing but I'll sometimes end up humming or singing a song when I think of DDr.

 

[FlamingRuby]

The link is just cut and paste, except replce (insert rank here) with your current rank and the [link] as an actual link.

 

[Brock Phillips]

Thanks, I'll try that, if I can find where I put my single, working brain cell.

Brock PHillips.

Edit:-Brain cell found, link-text working.

 

[FlamingRuby]

For the newbie dancers in the audience, we can help you learn the art of DDR! Just ask us, and we'll try to answer it!

 

[Teehee]

haha... I had a club like this long ago and no one was interested... glad to see it back. I've been playing DDR 3+ years, and my favorite song is Pink Rose. I've AAA'ed it over 200 times and even AAA'ed it Stealth shuffle *There is proof of this, but I would need to find a scanner.* The only songs I haven't AA'ed Paranoia Survivor Max Oni, Legend of Max, and Maxx Unlimited. Everything else is AA approved *even songs from the old days like the original DIVE, and Lupin the 3rd '78 by Ventura*. Oh but enough about me... am I in? lol

 

[Brock Phillips]

WHen practicing on a mat at home, (not a hard one, as I don't think that there's one available for Nintendo yet,) which would be better?

Normal (sensible) shoes, socks, or bare feet?

Personally, I'd go against shoes as they could damage the mat, socks would be an option, but you might slip and hurt yourself if you had to move both feet in oposite directions at the same time, say if there was a left and a right arrow at the same time.

[FlamingRuby]

Welcome aboard to new members...::updates list::

Socks carry the risk of falling, but they work fine on a soft pad.

Today's question: Who has heard of DDR sims for the PC? Dance With Intensity and StepMania are two popular examples. (I use the latter)

 

[Brock Phillips]

I didn't even know that there was a DDR game for the PC!

Is the Stepmania to do with the pop group Steps? (Imagines DDR dancing to "5, 6, 7, 8!")

BRock Phillips.

 

[FlamingRuby]

Yes, there are programs that allow you to play DDR on the PC, for those that wouldn't, or can't use a dance pad. It's still just as fun.

My StepMania collection includes 45 songs, and counting.

 

[Brock Phillips]

I remember hearing once that someone took a normal (none-hard) dance mat and put boards or perspex or something on/around it so that it would be protected like a hard DDR mat. Does anyone know how this was/could be done or could they point me to the site, and would it work with a Nintendo DDR mat?
