I want to know what your guys go to gothic dance moves are! (and go to dancing song lol) I think I always default to the "elegant arm flailing" or "the mopey two step". But I think some of my favorite dance moves are something I call "The cats cradle" and the "body snatcher". If you don't know what a cat's cradle is, it's a children's game where you make elaborate webs with strings in between your fingers. like this >> . So to do the dance make your hands like you have string in them, then gently sway both hands from left to right. I always end up either doing a two step or just swaying my hips and shoulders with it. The body snatcher is so fun to me. You bend over a little, and then mimic pulling somebody apart. So reach one hand down like you're grabbing something, then pull it up all the way over your head and reach down with the other arm. You can also imagine like a never ending tissue box, but I like pretending to tear someone up lol. As for dance songs? I always love dancing to enjoy the silence by depeche mode, dear prudence by siouxsie and the banshees, bloodsucker by paralysed age, and the hole by scary bitches!!

I can dance to anything by the Cure and Bauhaus!!! Be it Pornography or Bite My Hip or Paranoia Paranoia or Lovecats. Although I am too impatient to do goth dances properly... at some point I start jumping around if the song has any quick rhythm to it.
Bloodsucker is a great song, too! ❤️🔥

it depends on the song and I don't really do any proper named dances, but I do a lot of footwork, I'm a very jumpy person so I do a lot of step-based dances. I suck at moving my arms usually aside from swinging them by my sides. Sort of a mopey side-to-side? my friends have called it an 'ideal charlie brown dance' but most goth dancing is charlie brown dancing so that's not helpful lol

dark wave makes me really like to dance. my go to moves are "picking the cobwebs" and "petting the wolves"!!
Dead Disco Dancer by O. Children, Luxurious Bleedings by Qual, Welcome to Darkness by Anders Manga, Midnight Creature by Lebanon Hanover, Kiss of Death by Black Angel, Darkness by The Sweet Kill and Into the Sun by Casket Cassette are really good songs for those dance moves!!
Vampire by Blutangel, Bleed by Sevit, Dark Entries by Bauhaus, Lovers of the Night by Minuit Machine, and Love Never Dies by Apoptygma Berzerk are just good dance songs to dance to no matter what

Ive never been a good dancer, i just kind of seizure my way with the music! People say i actually dance pretty normally, it depends a lot on the song honestly. Ive wanted to get better at industrial dancing but my lack of coordination makes it impossible haha! I do it alone on my room, i own a blacklight so i dress up and put on fun accesories and dance the night away in the comfort of my own little personal goth cave
