I probably need to requote myself to avoid any misunderstanding:

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.
I certainly do not want to dance in a special style all night long. I hate this herd instinct (everybody dance the same way) in clubs as well.
I am more into grab up different styles and moves and try to mix them up to my own dancing style, if I like them.
I like this video, when it comes to shuffling to HHC:
I am only able to last about half a minute (what at least seems to look close to shuffle tmo), but I think it's allright, because I usualy never try hold it longer and change to another style quickly.

Exactly. Everyone should have a dancing style not a collective "jump up and down".
If someone is taken to the state of trance simply by doing this, it's just fine. It doesn't work for me personally. I need to freak out for about half an hour until my shirt is drenched in sweat and my body temperature has increased carrying me to a flue-like dizzy feeling.

that to me looks like someone randomly shuffling, probably to hardstyle and some1 just added a UK hardcore song to make it look like he's shuffling to the song. doesn't go together at all.
brisbane stomp imo is a really good dance to uk hardcore, and it leaves you room to add a personal touch to it as well.
and yes jumping up and down is stupid. it is the stereotype rave dance that ppl (who know nothing about raves) believe all ravers do at raves, besides drugs

Up to people how they dance and stuff but I can see that annoying people on the dancefloor having people constantly bash into you and flail their legs out kicking people all over the place.
Another thing with the UK is that the reason most people 'just jump up and down' is because we don't have as many people on pills and stuff over here than there is in the states so you don't have loads of cuddle puddles at the sides of the raves and people getting light shows with masks and stuff. You're either at the bar, in the toilet, in the smoking area or going mental on the dancefloor. Might see a few people chilling out at the sides towards the end but most of the time the full focus is on the dancefloor and that's it.
I personally like the American way, just more my kinda style I guess. Nobody knows what a light show is over here, I have just one mate who will actually do one properly for me, nobody else quite understands it!

In Brisbane You are able to dance like that because we never get more then like 300-500 people at an event, the biggest event we had was Darren Styles and we had 700 people attend.
usually an event in Brisbane will get no more then 200 people, so you don't have to worry about bumping into people.
But now I'm in New Zealand
no raves :(

to be honest though, the idea that the UK always has big raves is a load of crap, most of our events average about 200 people, I would love to see a 700 person event that isn't raver baby or HTID etc. As I said before, we don't have a whole lot else going on at the rave so most people are crammed into the dancefloor where you don't have the space to do much else apart from jump around. If you did you'd be knocking peoples drinks out of their hands and you'd have fights breaking out all over the place.

HTID's and similar events are about 1000-3000 capacity lol. One Uproar i went to was 10 000. But yeah there is absolutely no room to really do much. Just as well that i hate the main rooms and go where the real music is, as there is much less people there.

Was that the capacity or the attendance. Standard club is about 500 capacity I think. normally most raves have about 200 attendance. Can't speak for bigger events because after Raver Baby I don't particularly wanna go to another esp. if they're up north. I think that was about... 800 in attendance? Not good at these things but it was so cramped. Walking anywhere took like 10 minutes just to get out to the smoking area.

Capacity, i can't think the attendance is far from that either given how packed they get.
