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:

    Night is juba, night is conjo.
    Pretty Malinda, dance with me.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    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)

    The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.
    Clark Gable (1901–1960)
