DANCE MUSIC

Burning down the house 😎

Did you know? There are 48 different styles of House music!

House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four on the floor beat and a tempo of 120 to 130 beats per minute. After evolving on the Chicago club scene in the early '80s, house music exploded at the end of the decade to become the world's leading dance genre. By the early '90s, massive pop stars like Madonna, Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue were all incorporating elements of house music into their sound. House music is still filling dance floors today, and has spawned no end of sub-genres including acid house, witch house, electro house, handbag house and, most recently, tropical house.
