Referring, of course, to the feet. Which part of your feet do you dance on?
I've seen it two ways. The first is when people prance around on the balls of their feet. It looks smoother and it's easier to crossover, but it seems to take more energy and the score suffers as soon as the stamina begins to fade. The second is when people wear skateboarding-type shoes and stomp around on their heels. The score looks better, but I swear the sound of the stomping is like a jackhammer. It can't be good for the bones. Which do you prefer? |

This is why i suck at DDR, after 3 stages of course. I can A almost any 9-10 footer there is, as long as it is within my first three stages because i play on my balls. I wanted to play flatfoot, but i have knees that are gonna be bad by the time im 25 because i used to skate alot. IMHO, flatfoot is better.

I use the balls of my feet on fast songs because they make me quicker. On slow songs I play flatfoot as it doesn't hurt my toes as much and it doesn't use up as much energy

I play on my toes. Because I walk on my toes half of the time.

I am more on my toes (on the front part of the foot). I don't really lean back on the heel... That's just too dangerous!

I play um every style o.O for example:
toes on the up arrow, heel on the down, alternate between heel and toe on the left and right if im crossing over or a stream depending on which arrow it starts on, or if im facing completely straight on the balls of my feet for the left and right. |

I'm playing DDR right now. I'll play a song, once on the balls of my feet and once flatfooted. I'll letcha know how it goes. I usually play on the balls, by the way.. and I'm shirtless and it's nippy in here, in case you wanted to envision it ^^
Playing Keep on Movin', purely because I haven't AA'd it yet [as I'm lazy.] Of course, it's on Heavy. Heels only: 188 perfs 38 greats 1 good 3 boos 11 oks The reason I sucked is that flatfoot on jumps is hard >.< Surmising now that flatfooters at least go on their toes for jumps. [got an A] Balls only: 200 perfs 29 greats 2 goods 12 oks I.. wait.. I AA'd it with that? What the crap. Eh, I still want to give it a go with how I normally do it. I suppose I'm in between the two styles - either way is a bit too exaggerated for me, I felt somewhat off-balance doing this. Trying it my way now. 209 perfs 22 greats 2 goods 12 okays So, I suppose I use a mix. Flatfooted when it's just normal, but if it gets to long/fast streams, I go balls.

lol, it's like a polka dance! But seriously... isn't there a shockwave that goes straight through to the knee when you flatfoot? It's painful. Also, I find it kind of offensive when someone's flatfooting 2 machines away from me on a lvl 10 and they're STILL drowning out my song with the stomping noises. Like, really offensive. Slow songs are ok for that, though. Since you don't have to stomp as much as just step. |

Both depending on the situation. (Try determinator's 24th runs on the balls of your feet. Not happening.)
