| B.O. arm raiser |
The dancer raises one arm above the head, and moves the head near to the armpit. The two arms alternate along to the beat of a song; bizarrely this move gives the effect as if the dancer is sniffing his/her own armpits to see if there is any sign of body odour. The style may look cool to some and silly to others, it's subject to taste. |

| Bar stall to 360º revert |
Turn round to face support bars, if not already facing that way. Jump up and forward landing both feet onto top of support bar. Hold this position, the stall, for as long as possible. When you are about to lose balance, jump up and forward again whilst doing a 360º, and land in front of the support bar, the revert. You don't want to impale yourself on the bar ! |

| Shuffling |
A style where the base of the shoe only rises less than a couple of inches off the ground. Dancers using this technique often return to the middle after every button is pressed and use alternate legs to press each arrow in a sequence. This often causes a squeaking sound which can become an annnoyance when it is done persitantly (ref. squeaking Jeremy, and most elite dancers) |

| Super Stomping |
This is a form of style where the dancer adopts the style of a gorilla subconsiously and jumps as hard as he/she can on the pad. This often exerts alot of energy and so required a lot of stamina. (funniness rating: 2034) |
