My brother is 13 (going on 14 in June) and he can do some Beginner/Light songs. I really don't care when they play my game on the X-Box, I just don't want them to stomp.

No one really cares what your age is in my arcade, just as long as you can play, and play well. I have seen 10-year-olds play on Light, and no one gives them any slack.

Whenever someone gives you a compliment on your dancing skills, or tells you how to improve, then it is always the polite thing to say "thank you".

Nope not weird at all. In fact I started to play when I was 13. Now I'm 15 and I'm in the best shape of my life thanx to DDR.

My brothers got you all beat, started clearing light songs when he was 3! I should post what hes done this year (he's 6 now). Hes been kind of rusty ever since I stopped playing DDR on a regular basis, but he can clear a lot of 7 footers and even a couple of 8 footers. Im trying to get him to be completely heavy and even clearing 9s by the summer.

I started when I was just turning 14 and I'm 15 now and I still own everyone thats twice my age at my arcade and it pisses them off. Clearly age makes no difference

I'm 14. Don't be a jackass. Noone cares about how old you are. Here, you are only measured for your personality and your DDR skill.

Yeah, as long as you don't act stupid to other players and you're OK at DDR, no one should treat you badly. But then again, I don't really know, for I'm a 12 year old at 5'9, and everyone thinks I'm much older.

I know a kid who can pass all 10s but can't hold the bar and step on the up arrow at the same time. He also has to bounce on freeze arrows to get them to hold.

Yeah.....whatever ya say dudeman....makes no difference....started in February 2003 when I was 13....now I'm 14...even though everybody thinks I'm a lot older cuz I'm 6' tall........i read everybody elses posts and most of em are 12-15 and they dont seem to have any problems.....maybe ppl dont like ya because you are an arsehole...maybe you just need a bit of an attitude adjustment, little buddy...

im only 15 (started in april '02) but i am 6'1 270 or so. im fast for somke one my age and size (passed 2 10's) but little kids dont have any weight to hold them back and on top of that they have countless energy/stamina. so its different for a bigger guy to do it then a small person

and i don't think it's weird at all

my sisters are both nine, one can do heavy

i think it's more athletic ability/coordination rather than age, height, or weight

Wow, two people who admit they're COPPA violators in the same thread! <3

Anyway, it shouldn't really matter what age is, like almost everyone else has said. I started when I was 13 (just about a year ago, whee) and I've played against people who're at least ten years older, and they didn't give a rip how old/what gender I was. Personally, I find it incredibly stupid when people are like, "LOLZ OMFG That little chikz0r is t3h rulZ!!" And just remember, it doesn't happen only on DDR. For almost every arcade game, there's gonna be someone that's not in the "normal range of playing".

Ever heard of DDRbot? He is under 13 and is an extremely skilled player.

I've seen a girl that's 10 years old play heavy on doubles with her back turned. Crazy stuff...

I don't find it strange that younger kids play it.

Well, im 14, and im not that good. I can play Hvy, but not like MAX 300 and stuffs. Nun of the red ones...But no one even talkes to me.

Nicest thing said to me: "Woah! He's good at that!" - 8 yr old girl

Worst thing said to me: "Just get off dude, you suck." - 16 yr old @#!$

well i'm 12, and i know another 12 yr old near me that goes to my arcade, and he can do MAX300 with his back turned and i can AAA a few hvy songs, and no 1 ever makes fun of me, and i'm only like 5'5'' or sumthin. the only thing i've ever heard someone say to me that kinda related to my height, was once when i was doin witchdoctor hvy and this dude was like OMG LOOK AT HIS FEET! HE'S LIKE A TURBO BOY OR SOMETHING! thus how i got my name. so unless ur being a real pain in the butt and bragging and showing up everyone and asking them for rematches once u've beaten them really badly then i don't think anyone would bug you. unless you have some real jerks at ur arcade.
