Stage diving - often banned at venues, stage diving involves band members or members of the crowd leaping off the stage into the crowd to then crowd-surf, but there's a risk the crowd won't catch you and you can fall to the ground. Crowd-surfing - when a person is lifted above the heads of the crowd and carried to the front or side where someone, usually security, gently lowers them to the ground. Pogoing - when the crowd jumps up and down either on the spot or moving around and bouncing off each other. Slamdancing - another term used for moshing, as the crowd slams their full body into each other and pushes each other around. The aim is to slam into each other but to keep elbows down and not punch each other. Wall of death - when the crowd splits into halves which then run at each other during a music drop or prompt from the artist. 
Circle pit - when the crowd runs and jumps in a circle, pushing and bumping into each other, often leaving a clear space in the centre of the circle.
The pit is usually behind the barrier near the front of the stage, usually in the centre where moshers dance aggressively, jumping, bumping and slamming into each other. Some pits can develop into the crowd swinging their arms and legs around, but if you are the only person doing that at a gig, you will be asked or forced to leave. Generally, arms should be kept in close to your chest. 
How violent a mosh pit gets depends on the type of music and the crowd at the gig. "A big one is don't be too macho everyone's there to have fun and knows what they're in there for, so don't go over the top and deliberately hurt someone."
