This page now reflects the modern club genre rather than the traditional accompanyment.. and so needs writing!. my personal opinion is that it ought to share similar content to electronic music (but briefer with link to main article) but with a bit about other 'club music' forms such as the sections of rnb or even hip hop which are played in clubs; to reflect the common categorisation of these styles of music into dance music. anyway i'm no expert so someone needs to step up..~bungalowbill
As far as I know, the term dance music is used (in popular music) usually to refer to post-disco, especially late 1980s, early 1990s commercial dance music related to styles such as house and hip hop, examples: I'm gonna make you sweat by C & C Music Factory, The Power and Oops Up by Snap, Pump Up the Jam by Technotronic.

[edit] Dance
Well in my school, Dance music is a broad term for electronic music (trance, house etc.)
[edit] Oh goodness
This page needs some major editing - a discussion on the word "dance music" and its shifting meanings, the origin of the current wave of dance music in the post-disco era, and a brief run-down of different styles. I'll see what I can do over the weekend. Birdseed 15:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
'Okay, having had another look at it, this article needs to be merged with Electronic Dance Music, which while needing some improvement is not nearly this abysmal. Birdseed 09:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think what would be best is to move the page at Dancing music here, since one of the sections already directly concerns electronica. Dancing music isn't a great article either, but it is broad and correctly encompasses EDM. Dekimasu 01:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
