Stand around the edge of the circle of watchers and bounce to the music with them. Get a good feel for the music and the senses it engages in you. Move to the beat by bouncing or doing whatever simple moves the crowd is doing around you.

Find a mentor. After you've gone to a few shows and watched the people who get really into the hardcore dance moves, ask one of them to teach you some simple things. Practice the things you've learned at the next few shows you attend.

Watch videos. You can pick up ideas for moves from the floor at shows, but it's easier to learn new moves when you watch them over and over again and can analyze the specific movements of the dancers. Practice more difficult moves at home before you try them in front of people. Get comfortable with the dance moves before you do them at shows so you can avoid the embarrassment of hurting yourself.

Incorporate moves you've learned from other places in your hardcore dancing. Variations on martial arts kicks and spins make interesting new dance moves and so do flips from acrobatics. Feel the music and let your body do what it wants.

Tips & Warnings
Don't let yourself be embarrassed. Everyone starts out dancing badly but with enough practice, you can become good. Just relax and dance.
Master simple steps and moves before you move onto the more complicated ones. You don't want to hurt yourself out of the pit.
Be careful dancing during shows, especially if you have a small frame. There's no way to avoid getting elbowed and stepped on and there's a chance worse things could happen. Find a large friend to stand next to you and keep people away from you.
