Changed: 1c1

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, funk, Drum and Bass, Reggae, and Electronic music.
