Walking I can do, but...

It’s kind of hard not to look a little flail-y when playing DDR. I used to play constantly, but stopped around mid-summer when I was starting to look more female. Tonight, I played for the first time since going full time as a girl. Besides the fact that I was rusty, something that really hindered my performance was being self-conscious that my movements could be boyish. Normally I don’t care if I am clocked, but this arcade has the “Family” label on it, and I’d rather avoid harassment if possible. My question to the other DDR/ITG players out there is: how do you go about balancing yourself/moving your body to play DDR without getting outed? I guess that’s a hard question to answer in writing, but still. For the record, I play flat foot, minimalist style. Anyone?
