ITP: THE ART OF DANCE: V.010 PART 1: HEADWALKING
HEADWALKING FROM THE URBAN DICTIONARY: A different version of the stage dive that involves a kid walking off of the stage onto the crowd and diving into a group of kids that aren't near the stage. Done mostly at hardcore shows by skinny kids that like to stage dive alot.
Soo, we're back with ITP: THE ART OF DANCE, a spur of the moment feature founded in 2009 about both traditional and nontraditional styles of dance in music and metal. Turns out, the ITP feature THE ART OF DANCE was one of the journals most popular features last year. As we continue this feature, ITP THE ART OF DANCE V.010 PART 1 features "Headwalking". Headwalking is consolidated in the context of a stage dive to a walking crowd surf and featured at hardcore shows and consequently banned by music venues because of the perceived danger..Headwalking is not a botched stage dive, or freaked stage diver, but the challenge of staying on your feet, while in motion using the pit as your balance and leverage. The ideal of headwalking is to stage dive in the motion of walking, right on the pit punters head, while moving your feet while stage diving, finding anything and any one to step on.. Headwalking is absolutely annoying to the spectators as on occasion a vocalist will walk on the outstretched hands on pit punters. However, if you're in the pit, and are not looking out for stage divers, consider your self "mush head". HEADWALKING looks amazing and gives the visual illusion of one walking on air if a show featuring headwalkers is filmed. Do NOT pull the feet of headwalkers..Kerspalt.
HEADWALKING is performed best in the context of a stagedive/crowd surf in a very packed pit, only when the pit is PACKED, when there ISN'T a HOLE in the pit, and the crowd is barely moshing.
