How did you get into DDR?
Another one of those threads that every DDR forum seems to have.
It all started for me about 2 1/2 years ago when I played a little bit at an all day anime event at IPFW. The following week I ordered Konamix and some ignition pads and I was hooked. I started playing in the arcades a month or two later.

actually... it would be about 4 years ago when i first got hooked... my sister brought her friends game over to our hourse (DDR USA) and 2 shitty soft pads... then a lil while later we bought it... and then our pads died... and we never replaced them... untill about a year and 4 months ago... and thats when i got hooked again... because i was at the Kalahari (waterpark/hotel) and they had a DDRMAX2 there and i was with my friend and she wanted to try it... so i started playing... ended up spending $50 that weekend on DDR...
lately i havent been able to play much... (maybe a good 20 songs in every 3 weeks :S) because i let people borrow all my pads lol... but my step bro got the PS2 EXTREME... (ugh) with a pad... and its all i got to play now... and i played that today... but i should get my metal octane soon so ill be playing a lot more soon
EDIT:... i think another reason why i got hooked on it so much... was that about 3 months into when i got hooked i went on a cruise... and nobody there knew what DDR was... so me along with a few other friends i made on the cruise were the "leet" players... and we would easily get crouds of 30 people every night.... that feeling made me want to play more... i ended up spending all my money ($400) on the arcade there.... but i got $80 from some people on the cruise so that was awesome hehe that defenately pushed me into becomeing what i am now in DDR

Hmm. I guess it was maybe a year ago. I was in school and one of my new friends i met was all like, "MY FAVORITE GAME IS DDR!" At first i had no idea what DDR was. Then he told me it was dance dance revolution. and then i went OHHHHHHH. So he said you should go to the arcade when we go. So i went and got hooked rather fast. I still remember the first song i ever played, Bag....lol

Well, a long time before I started playing DDR in the arcade, I played DWI a lot. That was probably a bit less than a year or so before we got DDR in the arcade at Mr. Gatti's in Bedford (February '03, I believe). My buddy called me up from over there and said "Hey, Mr. Gatti's has a DDR machine now! It's awesome!" and I high-tailed it over there. It was a lovely 3rd Mix Korean v2 that kept me pretty happy for a couple months until I realized how much better Lazerlite's machines were. I've been playing it constantly since then.

I started playing almost 3 years ago now. I was downtown for school band event and found DDR USA. I played it alittle, and about 6 months later I befriended one of the 1st gen dancers. He got me hooked. I loved the music , the work out, the challenge, the group, everything. I quit for a little bit because I got fed up with my inability to get better, but in the end DDR won. I hope to play it, if not as much as I do now, at least everyone once in awhile when I'm older.
first started
about to years ago i was at greenwood park mall and seen like ten people around the machine after they all left i seen they had a couple credits left and they obviously werentn coming back so i jumped on the machine and totally embarrased my self a little later i bought Maxx2 and then started playing in the arcades and its been glorious ever since
if it doesnt matter who wins or loses then why do they keep score

I was first introduced to the game my freshman year of college. A friend of mine from back home had usa mix for his playstation and some ignition pads. He completely pwn3d my ass because i was uber noob at the time. I just did the normal "this game is gay" thing but deep down inside i knew that i craved for more.
I didn't play it again until my sophomore year of college when we had a fair for all the student clubs that you could join and someone had started a DDR club and I said to Matt "omg i've played that game before, it's really freagin hard" so we signed up and played every week and i eventually bought my own home system. I can now soundly own my friend who first introduced me to the game.

I don't fear death; I fear not living.
I started playing DDR at Block Party.
I used to work at the General Cinema (AMC theater now) right next to it. And I would walk over to Block Party on my breaks and play a game or 2 of DDR.
I kept runnin' into the folks from INDYddr, back when there were only like... 12 of us. So I joined up.
I kinda miss the ol' Yahoo board.

I started playing once in a great while back in my sophomore year of high school with a few friends. When I got to Indy, I had been on standard for quite a while. Started playing more frequently, got significantly better. I'm still not what I consider "good" though. ^^; Comes with time and practice, I know. =p I can still find fun out of it though.

The only reason I started playing DDR was because Time Crisis II broke.
LoL. This was right after I started working at Lazer X, which was early July. I started playing during dead time with the guys there. When they got Time Crisis up and running again, I was really bent on quitting DDR. I didn't, though. Don't know why. I guess I just figured there was no reason to quit if I could play both. *shrug*
If it weren't for Time Crisis breaking, though, things would be very, very different for me. Most of the people I hang out with now are people I met through DDR.
