the collection of vintage dances from the 1920s-1940s including Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag, Charleston, Black Bottom, and vernacular jazz steps. preferably done to music from this era, including big band, swing, jazz, hot jazz, dixieland jazz, and charleston music. notable characteristics of swing dancing are: a lively and energetic dance, and aerials or air steps where the leader (guy) throws/tosses/flips the follower (girl) into the air in a variety of performance-y moves.
more modern forms of swing dancing have emerged in the past 20 years, specifically west coast swing, but these are very detached from the vintage styles of dances and music of authentic swing dancing, and usually done to modern club music and more resembles a type of ballroom or hustle dance.
please note: in swing dancing, there are no glittery vests and top hats.

Get the swing dancing mug.Hardcore dancing is performed at hardcore shows, to hardcore music. Or if so inclinded, just to hardcore music in your backyard.
It was first made in the early 80s when the genre of hardcore-punk developed from traditional punk. The hardcore punk scene started out with a lot of straigh-edge kids, who dedicated themselves to human rights. Those who who hardcore danced had no intention of injuring people or causing shit in the pit. They were merely expressing the deep respect they had for the band they were listening too, and showing their emotions through dancing. Most of these most involve what looks like flailing, it is more so a fighting. All of the moves have a meaning, and the fight moves represent fighting facists and those who supress the scene (such as people who have defined this word ignorantly, and negatively).
Others may perform moves to represent their humble attitude.
True hardcore kids can have a good time anytime, if a kid falls they will pick him up, if someone wants to start shit with them, they'll make a good effort to calm them down.
It is very unfortunate to see something degrade into such a steriotypically hated ignorance.

Get the surrounded smother dancing mug.Only the best form of dance ever! It's traditional (from ireland) yet competitive. Shows like riverdance, lord of the dance and celtic tiger have made it more popular. Lots of people are usually ignorant to the fact of how hard irish dancers work to get to the top. It takes a lot of practise, determination and skill. There's soft shoes and hardshoes, solo dances and team dances, competitions and concerts. Its basically the best thing ever!
