Hard dance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hard Dance is an umbrella term that refers to the grouping of modern electronic dance music genres including Hard House, Nu-NRG, Hard-NRG, Hard Trance, Hardstyle, Jumpstyle & Freeform Hardcore. UK Hardcore & UK Techno is often included in this capacity. The tempo within Hard Dance usually range from 135 BPM (Techno) to 180 BPM (Freeform Hardcore).
[edit] Alternative Meaning
Hard Dance has an alternative meaning to some, where the name is indicative of a sub-genre of electronic dance music. In this case, the style of music is one where the lines between some of the above mentioned genres are so blurred that it becomes near impossible to attribute it to one genre. A common example would be a Hard House / Hard Trance cross-over. However, this view is snubbed by many of the old guard within the scene and seen as an attempt to rebrand & repackage an established product
