The dance involves two opposing dancers, or teams dancing alternatively or simultaneously performing a choreographed "battle" throughout the duration of a complete song. Although some of the moves Rockers execute emulate fighting, physical contact is never allowed. As stated above, physical contact is usually a sign of inexperience and/or dysfunctional behavior. If a Rocker is experienced he or she will not make any contact in order to "burn" his or her opponent. Rocking's rules of engagement penalizes any dancer who actually touches the opponent, even if contact was made unintentionally.
