I clench my fists VERY tightly.Sometimes my nails even make me bleed. Then when the 1/8 beats come I spin my arms in a windmill like motion to psych myself up. But not when i play versus(one time I punched my opponent in the face). riiight.gif

I usually just wave my arms around depending on the steps. A person i know thinks hes so cool with his arms level and stuff. makes him look like an idiot. My other friend kinda puts fingers into the shape of a gun. its kinda funny

7-8 Footers-- Arms bent at elbow, hands in fists.
9 Footers--- Right hand on bar, Left arm in 7-8 footers position.
10 Footers -- Both hands choking the bar an inch from its life.

I play in a generally weird way. I have a more erect posture than most people that play on heavy. As a result, my arms stay mostly at my sides, but not rigidly so.

I mean while playing. I've seen that near-everybody tends to put their hand in a certain position that's comfortable and condusive to playing.

So what do you do with your hands while playing?

I, personally, have my right hand, palm up and fingers closed facing the screen, coming from about my bottom rib straight out, until I start crossovers.


I don't think there is a proper way to move your hands....u should just do your own thing and be unique..just have fun with it E4.gif

usually I move them in a rhythm to the song, unless its a harder song, I have one hand on the bar (which is technically is'nt really bar hugging/rapeing)

I keep my arms up a little bit, and for some reason I always stick my pinky out... I don't know why. When I do lots of crossovers(Like in CSFILSM), I flail my arms from front to back, if that makes any sense to you.

Maybe I failed to specify. Didn't I say 'No boys, not like that'?

I thought so.

Anyway, I saw one of my old friends (who actually got me on DDR) after awhile, and he had the craziest one I ever saw. His right hand would do like a falcon death grip at about his waist level, above the up arrow. And not move from that general area AT ALL. Oh, did it make me laugh to see that again.

Keeping on topic, usually I keep my hands off the bars unless I'm doing 9-footers and up. Not good at freestyle but I do what I can depending what song I choose. nerd.gif
