Dance music is a family of genres rooted in Disco and strongly linked to the evolution of an attending DJ and dancefloor-led subculture. With the proliferation of electronic instruments such as synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers, dance would largely progress within the realm of Electronic Dance Music, beginning with disco-based forms such as Electro-Disco, Hi-NRG, Freestyle, and House, while the commercial success of disco and the dance music industry gave rise to the integration of disco or electronic dance elements into Pop with Dance-Pop, as well as influence within the Rock sphere with Dance-Punk and Alternative Dance.
