My favorite Dance music is Sun Ra & his Intergalactic Research
Arkestra...haven't seen them for many years though. The ultimate
essence of movement, of freedom, of rhythm, multiplicity...
"Astro Black, in mystic time, astro natural, the universe
speaks through this song, the universe is in my voice, Astro black,
and Cosmos dark."

Other than that, reggae (good stuff, like Delroy Wilson, Steel
Pulse, not commercial disco crap like Third World) and
spaced out double-triple-time jazz are also good for dancing.
HPSCHD by John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, for harpsichords and
random computer-generated sounds, gets my feet moving.

I find the commercial disco SpyroGyra/Steely Dan type of
generic musicoid sounds to be far more offensive and feet-deadening
than even actual Muzak, which I'm sort of fond of...I tap my
toes in the dentist's office.
