There's not much you need to know to do beginner songs. On most songs you can hear the beat fairly easy. Simply dance to the beat. You don't have to worry about timing. Just remember to step on the notes on the beat. On beginner, you'll have a note about every other beat. On basic, you'll have a note once every beat.
-Avoid the Center-
This is just a tip for later. Try not to step on the center of the pat. All beginners seem to want to return to the center every time they hit a note. This will slow you down drastically. Rather, you should step and leave your foot on a note. This won't hurt your score. By not bringing your feet back to the center you use less energy and can get from note to note quicker. To explain this better, if you have a left, up, down, right sequence you put your left foot on the left arrow and leave it there. Then bring your right foot to the up arrow and leave it there. Now take your left foot off the left arrow and bring it to the down arrow and leave it there. Now finish by taking your right foot and bringing it from the up arrow to the right arrow. This will make it look like you're walking from note to note. This walk can eventually turn into a run. By learning this technique early you won't have any bottlenecks keeping you from getting better.
