Dance music is
music composed and/or played specifically for social
dancing--as such, dance music includes a huge variety of music, from
rock and roll to
country music to
traditional music such as
Irish traditional music. For many younger people, such as those who frequent nightclubs, "dance music" more specifically refers to offshoots of rock and roll such as
disco,
house music,
techno music and
trance music. See also
hip hop,
breakdancing,
contradance,
funk,
Drum and Bass,
Reggae, and
Electronic music.
Among some of the better-known kinds of dance tunes in Europe and America are the waltz, the polka?, the reel, various kinds of jig?, and the breakdown? (feel free to add to this list!).
