The beginning of dance music?

« on: Yesterday at 03:50:03 PM »

This record cover kinda struck me as interesting and got me thinking. Is this possibly the beginning of dance music? What do you consider to be the beginning of dance music?

Well, that's nice and all. I am looking for what songs you think are the beginning of dance music.

EDIT: I just realized. There's no way to pinpoint the beginning because all the way back to ragtime and the gay 1890's, that was considered dance music for the day. Technically any music you can dance to is considered dance music.

General consensus is it was the Musique Concrete guys in France back in the 1950's...They were using very early synthesizers and crap to make music.

Well, dance music has been around since the beginning of time. I've heard a lot of house that has a lot of African tribal type stuff in the background, so to me it kinda traces back to that. As far as commercially, Scott Blackwell and Prodigal Sons were probably the first I ever heard, so for me that would have to be the start..
