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:

    Ah, it is sweet on the hills,
    to dance in sacred faun-pelt,
    to dance until one falls faint,
    to beat the sacred dance-beat
    until one drops down
    worn out.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I could dance yet—only had a good fiddle—I like music. A good fiddle always starts the Negro, even if he’s old.
    Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)

    a dance sacred as the sap in
    the trees,
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
