Hi Mikkalai,
I originally #REDIRECTed Dance (music) to Dance music (traditional) and moved all the content to that article. We don't need to recreate that article.
If you want to create a new article with some of the contents that were moved there, then fine, but please avoid the close lexical overlap with Dance music. We should retitle this page to something that isn't so close, perhaps Dance music (classical) or somesuch. That way we would have 3 articles in the "Dance music" namespace:
But whatever we name it, please don't use Dance (music). -- Lexor 03:00, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
It looks like you are completely reverting all my changes to your old edits. Please discuss this on the relevant Talk pages before doing this. -- Lexor
--- Hi Lexor,
I am not reverting, I am putting them into broader context and linking with other musical topics like musical form, to clarify what it means.
As for "dance (music)" term, as I see it, it is standard way to narrow down the domain of the term. Unfortunately dance and music are too close arts to draw distinction in some cases.
Dance as form of musical composition and dance as art per se bear more semantic disticnction than Dance music (traditional) and Dance music (modern).
Besides, the term "classical" bears its own specific meaning, both in music and dance.
Once more, *please* leave the final decision to musical professionals. (Judging form the misunderstanding of my initial intentions, you are not the man of final word in this area.) I am also nobody, but your editing destroyed my intentions. My "back-editing" is not reverting; I didn't destroy yours: I merely put yours into a single page.
If "dance (music)" is still vague to you, please wait for third opinion.

Dance music often refers to fastbeat house and techno music that is in proportion with the dots on a moving highway. Somebody should expand the Jock Jams article. -- TheSamurai 03:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This article needs changing as was originally proposed back in '03. there is music made to accompany dance (ie music for traditional dancing, where the dance is the focus), and music made to entice dancing (where the music is the focus); the genre in itself, encompassing electronica, house, trance, etc etc.. They are clearly two different entities, and the latter is relegated to a meer tiny "Nightclubs and raves" section (not even 'modern dance music'); whilst it is not just something of "nightclubs and raves". i making this article refer to the "nightclubs and raves" section, and move the bluk of the article to dance music (traditional) or dancing music. many many 'pop'-related songs/albums/artists link to dance music in their genre box; and this article clearly does not refect the genre they are intending to link to.~ Bungalowbill 11:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
