Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. Dance music works often bear the name of the corresponding dance, e.g. waltzes, the tango, the bolero, the can-can, minuets, salsa, various kinds of jigs and the breakdown. Other dance forms include contradance, the merengue (Dominican Republic), and the cha-cha-cha. Often it is difficult to know whether the name of the music came first or the name of the dance. Dance music includes various traditional dance music such as Irish traditional music, waltzes, rock and roll, country music and tangos. An example of traditional dance music in the United States is the old-time music played at square dances and contra dances. Brazilian dance music includes Samba, Pagode and Forró. While the combination of dance and music is very ancient (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians) the earliest Western dance music that we can still play with a degree of certainty are the surviving medieval dances such as caroles and the Estampie. The earliest of these surviving dances are almost as old as Western staff-based music notation.

3. Copywriters Can Dance
November 18, 2008
Can you remember an old Phil Collins number - I can dance? I could never really understand what he was going on about. So he could dance - so what? The point is, I can remember the song. I don't particularly like Phil Collins' music; I never liked the music of Genesis, (I was, and still am a big Yes fan - anyone who knows the two bands will probably understand where I'm coming from). But yet I still remember the song - I can dance. Why should that be? Well, two main reasons. The first is more particular to me as an individual, the second is actually an age old marketing theory. So firstl... (read more)

16. Cambodia - A Traveller's Opinion
November 03, 2008
Cambodia
Until recently Cambodia, like Vietnam, was a byword for horror.
Only the most grotesquely fake guidebook could pretend that Cambodia, or ‘Cambodge’ as the French call it, is just an Indochinese jewel characterised purely by art, dance and music. Thanks to the Khmer Rouge's genocidal 1975-79 rule, the bump at the bottom of Laos has become a dark tourism venue littered with pain memorials. Take your pick between the Landmine museum, the Genocide Museum and the infamous Killing Fields.
The exhibits contained by the museums embody the Khmer Rouge maxim ‘Preserve them, no pr... (read more)
