I am seriously interested in your experiences / knowledge about this topic.
First please let me get this straight:
Personally I think everyone should interpret the music in his / her own moves. Some things might look grotty to others, some probably neat, but EDM is about getting into state of trance. Still I am sure at least you should know some basics. Please try to avoid to post any tutorial videos, as most of them suck.
I have had problems until January about matching with the speed constantly, but tmo I can handle it now. It only seems to me looking extreamly minimal.
I have watched videos about two different Hardcore dancing styles so far:
1) Hakken and
2) Shuffle
I don't know if there are more styles. Please tell me, if so!
About 1)
Havn't been able to follow to a lot of tutorials and example videos. The perspective of watching someone else doing it and looking downwards to your own movements is so different to me.
About 2) Tbh about 90% of the posted stuff on youtube seems to be fakes: just a bunch of wannabes shuffling without shoes on laminate - come on: no big deal. Wearing street shoes and dance on asphalt or grass is more what I'd call a challenge.
I somehow look forward to mix up both kind of styles, but definitely need more sources of inspiration. Maybe you are able to help me.
Do you dance on raves?
What are your moves?
Any ideas about new sources of inspiration?
Do you know really quality videos (maybe showing some experts)?
Please fell free to write down anything that comes up your mind about dancing / raving to HHC.
Cheers!

Not many people at UK raves actually have certain dance moves tbh. People just do whatever. Best way IMO. Then new faces don't feel so worried about how they look dancing as everyone is just all over the place. :P

It was pretty sad to see UK ravers dance when I visited. They're awful. All they can do is jump up and down...

Absolutely. Choreographed dance moves are for dance classes and pretentious music events. Raves are for raving.

Totally. Everyone is different anyway, you should be doing you're own thing not copying someone else. 'Dancing' properly in a rave is as welcome as Kanye West sunglasses if you ask me (which is the way raves have gone sadly).
