15. Moshing is an expression/reaction from the music by the crowd at a concert. The crowd will then chain react in front of the band and stage (known as the Pit) at a certain point in the music and will furiously and passionately push and body slam each other to the music. But this is just a more extreme form of dance for an extreme form of music. Mosh Pits can be intense, hot, slimy and sticky. It takes a certain personality, to be able to appreciate Mosh Pits. They are a way of showing respect for the music and telling the band that this song is AWSOME.

19. Howtoheadbang…

20. Instructions 1 -Stretch your neck well before you start to headbang. This is of supreme importance. If you do not warm up, you can find yourself in traction quite quickly. Start by performing gentle head rolls. This means you roll your head slowly from side to side. Then grab the top of your head with one of your hands and pull gently in the opposite direction. Repeat toward the other side. Make sure you feel good and loose. 2 -Nod your head gently as the music starts to play. There is plenty of time to headbang. Start slowly to make sure you are truly warmed-up. 3 -Increase the motion of your headbanging. As the music quickens, nod your head with greater range back and forth. Harder and faster is the key here. 4 -Swing your head all the way down to your waist and then back up again. Continue this in a circular motion to really rock out to your favouritemusic or band. 5 -Add some of your own flair. The great thing about headbanging is that it’s completely up to you how you do it. You can add jumping, air guitar, leg kicks and other killer moves to your routine.
