my goal right now is to get more people to play DDR, only like five people I know play it.
when i try to get people to play they say that its gay or something like that.
Any suggestions?

Get them to watch good player's performance. Then they'll addict to it like us.

I remember in my early ddr days, my son watched me play at home. After asking him for 20th time, he finally tried it. He's 12, more interested in shooting games. Now he can play standard.
I still can't convert my husband. He plays tennis well, but he doesn't get the beat and timing.

Yeah, having a party is a good idea. When my son has his birthday party in my house, boys were lining up behind 2 dance pads to wait for their turn. It was fun.
I found it's hard for some adults to learn DDR. One of my friend steps on the 'wrong' arrows a lot, like she would step down[=backward] for an arrow pointing up. I never had that problem. So I guess people without much coordination can't play ddr.

I think also it really helps if you can read music. If you can read music you already understand the timing of stuff like "8th notes," "16th notes," "triplets," and so on.

Why pressure people into playing? If they don't like, then they don't like it. They have as much a right to think its "gay" as we do to love it. Here's how I look at it: The fewer people into DDR...the more time I get to spend playing at the mall.

I guess its just me. I've always preferred playing alone. I bought a home version...its a better and actually cheaper investment in the long run. (Cheaper if you play a LOT) I'll play occasionally when I go to the mall, but most of my "DDRing" is done right in my living room.
