People move their bodies to metal music and interact with it – they dance. Audience members and performers on stage do so in various ways, some of which have become iconic practices of metal, such as headbanging, and others which seem rather uncommon and are not as closely associated with metal at first sight, such as belly dancing. This chapter aims to provide an introductory overview of dance practices in metal, their social organisation and avenues for future research. Therefore, the social organisation of mosh pits is investigated, discussing them as contested communities since they offer communal experiences while simultaneously perpetuating existent obstacles to participation, especially along the lines of gender identities. The subsequent section turns to gaps in hitherto research in order to emphasise the need and possibilities for further research. These include an expanded scope beyond headbanging and moshing in extreme metal, dance practices in virtual spaces and the global south, histories of metal dance and the relation between music and movement in metal.
