To look like an idiot at hardcore shows, while punching the air and ground. Hardcore dancers will not actually watch the band play, they would rather imagine they are fighting invisible bad guys. Often times hardcore dancers will ruin the show for anyone that is not hardcore dancing. But they do not care because they think the world revolves around them.
Oh my God, open up a pit so we can do some awesome hardcore dancing. I really want to do a spin kick, I practiced it all day in my bedroom while listening to Norma Jean.

A type of dance you do at a show to look completely stupid. Consisting of flailing arms and legs that pierce the air to come into contact with absolutely nothing. This is a must when you go to a hardcore show.
"hey did you get that email about that new kind of hardcore dance? Its like punching the ground and stomping your feet its so awesome." "Aww! I'm always the last one to get that email."

suitable alternative to mindless, drunken headbanging often seen at metal shows, which shows no form of aggression or ambient motor skills.
believed by some anthropologists to be the leading cause of retardation in metal kids..

How can you see us hardcore dancing when you should be banging your head. if slayer saw you not banging your head, you would not be allowed to listen to metal any longer...

Dancing usually done at emo/hardcore shows where people (I mostly only see the picking up change stuff at shows here) flail thair arms back in forth from the floor into the air like theyre trying to pick up change really fast. Ocasionally people will actually drop loose change and then people start going at it. The other dancing seems kind of dumb. It looks like Tai Bo but its fun to watch people going at pennies.
"I went to a show and got back about 75 cents of what I payed to get in while hardcore dancing becuase rich bitches kept dropping dimes and quarters and shit."

This is a very elegant type of dancing to show your sheer frustration at life and accompany the frustration of the emo/hardcore band that you are listening to.
You have no intent of harming those around you, its simply kicking out at the world around you or maybe just having a good time.
In comparison metalheads share a similar form of dancing known as the "mosh" which can somehow mould onto all their "variations" of music and furthermore if theyre feeling really brave they like to fuck each other up in a "mosh pit" where they have the intention of hurting one another - clever guys.
When not participating in their "mosh pits" they spend their time being angry at the scenester philosophy as they have nothing better to do than grow their hair and not wash.

hardcore dancing: elegant and emotionally charged flails.
moshing: contentless nodding of heads, reinforced by the breaking of eachothers noses.
