Default Height and DDR

How does your height affect your DDR playing? There's a DDR club at my school, and there are 2 members of the club who joined last year. They were both standard players at the time. Now, the one member who's 5'6" can pass some 11's and the member who's 6'6" can only pass some 9's. A thread was posted on DDR Freak a few years ago saying that it's a disadvantage to be 6'0" or more.

I've read that shorter people can accelerate their body faster and step faster, but being tall might be an advantage on doubles. It also might be more difficult to keep your balance or use the bar if you're too tall.

I'm 5'11" 1/2 and I haven't noticed my height affecting my DDR play, except when the screen is too low.
