Liquiding is a form of dance born out of the rave scene. The root word, liquid refers to the fluid-like motion of the dancers body and apendages. It is primarily the dancers arms and hands which are the focus, though more advanced dancers work in a full range of body movements. Liquiding is similar to the styles of Popping or Locking which were born out of 80s B-Boy and funk movements.

It is common for dancers to equip themselves with white cotton gloves; their black light sensitive nature provides a vibrant psychedelic effect and enables onlookers and the dancer him/herself to see the movement of the dance. The one accessory almost always worn by a liquider is a baseball/crack otherwise known as army hat. These funtion as a hidaway and are used to perform so called hat-tricks.
