Welcome to the eurodance/italodance/hands up thread. Lets start with a wiki excerpt.
[B][quote]Eurodance[/quote][/B][quote] (also known as [B]Dance[/B] and [B]Hands Up[/B] in Europe) is a genre of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music"]electronic dance music[/URL] that originated in the late [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s#Music"]1980s[/URL] or early [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s#Music"]1990s[/URL] primarily in Europe. It combines many elements from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_music"]House[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno"]Techno[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-NRG"]Hi-NRG[/URL] and especially [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo-Disco"]Italo-Disco[/URL]. Starting in the early 1990s and continuing to the present day, Eurodance production continues to evolve with a more modernized style that incorporates elements from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_music"]Trance[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno"]Techno[/URL] music.
Eurodance music is heavily influenced by the utilization of rich melodic vocals, either exclusively by itself or inclusively with [U]rapped[/U] verses. This, combined with cutting-edge synthesizer, strong bass rhythm and melodic hooks establishes the core foundation of Eurodance music.[/quote]Here's some artists and music to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I don't know about you guys, but this music personally makes me want to get up and start partying :D
