stomping
Pounding the floor
Stomping is walking or dancing with heavy, forceful steps that strike the ground hard.
The word often suggests anger or emphasis: She went stomping off after the argument.
Stomping grounds (or stamping grounds) are places someone frequents: We visited his old stomping grounds in Brooklyn.
