Originally a traditional war dance done during breakdowns at hardcore shows. Unfortunately this once sacred dance can be seen at emo and metal shows. The fine dance has been leaked into the mainstream and everyone and their mother thinks they can dance now. Very few people can actually dance well now (see Philadephia).

hardcore dancing is done at hardcore or metalcore shows. A very fast and energetic type of dance, that has many varients.
2-step-when you flail your arms and put one foot in front of the other, usually done not moving
windmill-when you plant your feet and swing your arms fast during a breakdown
spin kick- very fast spin of the body where you shoot your leg out after the first 180
some people on the outside of the pit like to lean in and do one armed windmills/

fighting with the invisible ninjas all around you. This is done to bands such as terror, e-town concrete, unearth, and bands that yell a lot.
jeez, i went to the e-town concrete show last night, and i got kicked in the stomach by a skinny kid wearing girl pants, and a red bandanna like a cowboy, and a army hat, and a shirt way too small for him. I then went into the pit, hardcore danced for a bit, then simply punched him in the face and walked out.
point proven? hardcore dancing is fun until you get hurt.

the hardcore kid tried to hardcore dance in the middle of the pit and got his head knocked in by a 40 year old, truck driving, Slayer fan.

if performed correctly, its a more organized and structured style of movement in a pit. Its concidered structured because actual "dance moves" are used at certain parts of songs that have a certain beat or rhythm. Its not just "flailing" of the arms; is structured movements performed to correspond with particular parts in songs. Such as the 2-step which is done to fast or slow rhythmic alternations between the snare and base drum. Hardcore dancers move to the music, needing a knowlege of music, while push moshers just move aimlessly without structure. The usual "push mosher" fag is the asshole who decides theyre just going to push random people with no rhythm and with no disregard to if someone is in the pit, just someone observing the pit, if theyre a female. Thought hardcore dancing is seen as "wreckless" or "dangerous" it is deeply structured on respect. If someone falls we "hardcore dancer" help them up. If someone is in a "push mosh" pit they wouldnt get helped or noticed. They would just be trampled on because nobody is paying attention to what anybody is doing. Basically harcore dancing is a structured style of movement in which actual dance moves are performed to correspond with certain rhythms or tempos in songs.

Dancing to hardcore with flailing arms and kicks.
Though "true" metal fans think hardcore dancing sucks, they are, in fact, washed-up pansies who can think of nothing better to do with their time and energy than make fun of the way kids dance.
They are also afraid to actually point out (except on the internet) that they dislike hardcore dancing because they are outnumbered 10 to 1 at shows and probably would not be able to touch a hardcore kid in a fight because hardcore dancers are all, in fact, magical ninjas.

Hey, look at that 40-year-old wash-up get attacked by the rest of the hardcore scene because he has trouble ignoring hardcore dancing.
