Punk Subculture - Dance

Dance

Two dance styles associated with punk are pogo dancing and moshing. Stage diving and crowd surfing were originally associated with protopunk bands such as The Stooges, and have appeared at punk, metal and rock concerts. Ska punk promoted an updated version of skanking. Hardcore dancing is a later development influenced by all of the above mentioned styles. Psychobillies prefer to "wreck", a form of slam dancing that involves people punching each other in the chest and arms as they move around the circle pit.

Famous quotes containing the word dance:

    On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    They dance with reluctance, they are growing civilized; the old men
    persuade them.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    You whig emblem, you woman chaser,
    why do you dance over the wide lawn tonight
    clanging the garbage pail like great silver bells?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
