Electro dance is predominantly about arm movement, taking basic elements from glowsticking such as the concept of Freehand, the Figure 8 and the idea of the Leading Hand (one hand geometrically following the other), while staying very much in a disco tastes, by amplifying points and poses as a main aspect to this style. Down below Electro dancers tend to use their hips, knees and feet to gently shuffle across the floor in beat to the music, quite often in a random and jerky fashion. They also tend to include elements of toprock, B-boy-like footwork, lending to the hip hop-like influences in a lot of the electro house music.
The term "Tecktonik" is a registered trademark, and this has created issues for dance events or other uses of the name.[4] The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis[5]) sell official products, such as clothes, Matts CDs, and energy drinks.
