Every
year is an event calling Q-dance, arranging massive events in football
stadiums, sports grounds, public arenas and airports. Most events are
held in the Netherlands. BIONIC is a cardiff based event however branch
out into events such as Westfest.
A dance that is popular mainly in Europe is 'jumpstyle'. Originating in Belgium this is now becoming more popular amongst the newer hardstylers, but once again mainly in Europe. In the Netherlands, however, jumpstyle is thought too commercial by many hardstyle and hardcore fans. Some of these fans are learning the Melbourne Shuffle that originates from Melbourne, Australia, and has a tremendous popularity among nearly all ages from 10-30 in both Melbourne, and Sydney, as well as the rest of Australia. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is also home to the shuffling team Hardstyle Republic, and many Europe dwellers are learning to shuffle from this incredibly popular group, mainly to hardstyle music. Stomping is also a form of the shuffling, and is done to hardstyle music too.
