For example, the skanking done at a reggae concert would typically be slower and more restrained than the skanking done at a hardcore punk show. The style, speed, and moves used when skanking are as diverse as the music it is performed to, usually dictated by its rhythm and genre. Additionally, should any one person trip and fall, others in the group tend to avoid trampling them, or even help them to get back up. While the flailing, swinging, and pushing may appear dangerous, there is almost always a conscious effort by each dancer in the 'pit' to refrain from actually striking or hurting each other. This rough appearance tends to lead to negative stereotypes of violence, though they are rare at best and almost never tolerated by venue operators, bands, or other audience members. However, this is rarely seen as an act of true aggression but rather a consensual release of emotion. The punk version, commonly known as two-stepping, features a sharp striking out look with the arms, and is sometimes used in moshing to knock around others doing the same. Originally, skanking consisted of a "running man" motion of the legs to the beat while alternating bent-elbow fist-punches, left and right. The dancing style was revived during the 1970s and 1980s 2 Tone era, and has been adopted by some in the hardcore punk subculture.

When ska became popular amongst British mods and skinheads of the 1960s, these UK youth adopted these types of dances and altered them. Ska music has a prominent backbeat played by the electric guitar on beats two and four of a 4/4 bar of music. The dance style originated in the 1950s or 1960s at Jamaican dance halls, where ska music was played. Skanking is a form of dancing practiced in the ska, ska punk, hardcore punk, reggae, drum and bass and other music scenes.
