Dance Music

[agua]

Can anyone give me a brief breakdown of the different types of dance music?

I'm pretty sure I can recognise Funky House and Electro, but what other kinds are there, and what are their distinctive characteristics?

[Whoa Nelly]

The best thing you can do is search for 'Electronic Dance Music Genres' and that will tell you what you need to to know about the differences between Ambient, Drum & Bass, Electronica, House, Industrial, Techno, Trance etc

go visit this website, it's an extensive guide but REALLY useful, and it has samples so you can hear it
