To play DDR manually I belive you have to have a balance of both body and mind.
Mind is your reaction rate and the ability to read and process the scrolling arrows without manual thought.
Body is the actual dancing, which requires physical practice.
If you feel a lack of being able to pass light mode and go to standard, or from standard to heavy, you need to practice with FFR, DWI, etc. This will enable you to jump over the pit seperating the diffrent modes (metaphorically speaking :3)
Trust meh, I played DDR with the controler at one point because I was so fustrated cause I couldn't get to standard mode without failing.
All of the sudden I played SUPERSTAR in challenge mode for the first time and passed it with a C
