it took me two months and a very bad day for me to finally play heavy

mode...and at times I do mess-up

About a month. Some people do it in a few days, others never even get that far. Depends on so many factors, not the least of which is how much you actually like the game.

Took me 4-5 months to pass up to low 9 footers. Problem was mostly not enough arcade play time, not much song variety.

It depends what "confidently" means here.

I stopped failing 9 foot songs about 5 months into DDR.

I stopped failing 10 foot songs in about a year.

I can pass any ITG 12 as long as I'm warmed up.

I'm still working on passing the ITG 13's consistently.

It took me about 10 days to get to many 8 footers, and a month to play 10s and get halfway without failing.

But I started heavy with easy songs such as:

A
V
R3
CSFIL
LLS
and this may be odd, I thought Max 300 was fairly easy.

What I usually do before I play a song I am having trouble with is at home, I move my feet around randomly to the beat of the song to even see if I have enough energy for it. Then I study the stepcharts (Mainly the 1/8ths parts), then I watch videos (reboman and Jiri's Max 300 videos, where you can see the foot work) Then I go out and play it as my last song on the dollar I spend. Helped me alot.

Ah, maniac, good ol' Konamix. Took me 2 or 3 months. Figure out what you need to work on. Arrow reading, endurance, speed, then choose songs to practice that a bunch.

Either a month or less, I started on standard because I played stepmania a bunch.

I took me a year to get passed light mode just cuz I was afraid of embarrasing myself 3 months to get through standard and 3 more months to play on level 8's and 9's

Took me a little over 3 months before I felt confortable enough to play and pass my first heavy song: Era (nostalmix)

These are more or less accomplishments, which would go in the DDR Gameplay forum. Locked.
