Originally known as Junglestep, this was the foundational style of DnB dance before X-Outing took center stage. Today, it’s fondly called Oldschool—a nod to its timeless moves and classic vibe.
X-Outing is the trendsetting style that burst onto the scene in 2006 at the iconic Kultiplex Club in Budapest, Hungary. Born “from elements of Hungarian folk dance,” this dynamic style quickly earned the nickname “Russian style” among many of its western peers. Its bold, innovative moves keep the dance floor electrified!
While Panda Style is technically a substyle of X-Outing, it has long been celebrated as its own unique form. Popularized by Nepster—one of the founding figures of Russian DnB dance—this quirky and rare style brings an unexpected charm to the dance floor.
Also known as Vengr, the Triangle style was pioneered by X-Outing dancer Atee and later refined by other innovators. In Russia, it’s often called “Vengr” (a nod to its Hungarian influence), reflecting its cross-cultural roots and creative evolution.
This style features X-Outing moves without the added complexity of the Triangle element, relying instead on a simple, back-and-forth motion. Although it’s sometimes labeled Skanking, this term can be misleading—after all, it’s also used in Ska dance. This somewhat artificial category never quite caught on as a mainstream style.
Not all dancers fit into neat categories. Some have carved out their own niches—like the innovative moves brought to life by MDCrew. These individual expressions continue to push the boundaries of DnB dance, ensuring the art form remains as fresh and exciting as ever.
