Guys, could I theoretically become a DDR master by just putting on Youtube videos of in game songs and jumping on my floor along with them?
Bump, I desperately need to know I've been practicing like this for 12 hours.

you could get decent at reading but the technical aspects of footwork such as diagonal foot placement on the pads so you reach two at once requires a real (preferably arcade) pad.

it'll be almost like practice but without feedback you can't know if you're getting better
Play Stephanie. Download ddr and itg song packs

no
You have to stream yourself doing it.

Timing is crucial in rhythm games. Without feedback you'll never improve your timing. Just download Stepmania and official song packs from Zenius.
>playing DDR instead of a real rhythm game

DDR is one of the only real rhythm games. Along with IIDX, Pop'n, and Gitadora. Every other rhythm game is just a variation of one of these.

It helps only with your stamina. To learn how to "read" and improve your timming you need to play for real. Obviously the best option is to play in the machine.
When I was in high school I was really fat and I only played the ps1 versions with a controller. I liked the game and became really good so I started practicing jumping on the floor like a jackass but it worked. I lost a lot of weight and I met a lot of friends at the arcade and even join a pump it up team.

give up

In practice you will become a master at annoying your neighbours.

Good enough to pass catastrophic songs on a stock machine? Yes.
Good enough to pass catastrophic songs on a machine with the difficulty cranked? Probably not.
Good enough for extra stage and oni mode? No.
Good enough for ITG marvelous full combos? No.

I think Dance Central counts and the UI is different enough to be it's own thing.
