The Evolution Of Western Dance Music


To make it easier to trace the threads of music history, here's an interactive map detailing the evolution of western dance music over the last 100 years. The map shows the time and place where each of the music styles were born and which blend of genres influenced the next.

The map shows the evolution of top level dance genres only, and does not delve into all possible sub-genres. It's often difficult to pin-point the beginning of a genre to a single year, so the birth of each genre has been placed within 5-year periods.
