History

Dance music has its roots in the disco era of the 1970s, evolving through the 1980s with the advent of electronic instruments and technology. The genre expanded in the 1990s with the rise of house and techno music, which laid the groundwork for modern electronic dance music (EDM). By the 2000s, dance music had become a dominant force in popular music, with subgenres like trance, dubstep, and electro-pop gaining prominence.
