  Alternative dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alternative dance (known primarily as indie dance in the United Kingdom) is a term used for the genre of music combining elements of dance-pop (or other forms of electronic dance music such as house or techno) and alternative rock genres such as indie pop.
The indie element is most prevalent in the songwriting; unlike much dance music, alternative dance typically contains lyrics, and, as in indie pop or indie rock, these are often more thematically complex and/or less polished than those of commercial pop.
The seeds of alternative dance were sown when New Order, inspired by Kraftwerk and the New York club scene, started combining sequenced electronic elements with their brand of icy post-punk and often enigmatic lyrics.

 Alternative Dance Downloads - Download Alternative Dance Music - Download Alternative Dance MP3s
Alternative Dance marries the underground sensibility and melodic song structure of alternative and indie rock with the electronic beats, synths and/or samples, and club orientation of post-disco dance music.
Those qualities put a more human face on alternative dance, as opposed to the more mechanized feel of much standard club/dance music; as a result, the performers are much more closely identified with their music, which often possesses a signature style, texture, or fusion of specific musical elements.
In addition to alternative rock, alternative dance was most heavily influenced by synth-pop, acid house, and trip-hop; each of those movements helped spawn a corresponding cachet of alternative dance artists, and had a major impact on Britain's late-'80s Madchester scene, as well as the pop crossover success of several indie-oriented trip-hop artists during the '90s.

 Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance Again
It feels like an old standard, familiar and comfortable, and it’s only after a few minutes of being submerged in it that you realize that you haven’t heard this song a thousand times before, that you have no idea who is singing this, that the song itself is something totally new, and totally overwhelmingly complete.
The muted sound of a cornet dances in and out of the chorus, as Bartletts wordless hum punctuates every line, and it’s all done on a bed of violins and a subtle electronic crackle.
The songs got sweeping strings and muted horns and all the twee overtones one would expect from a fantastic indie pop band, but it also has a rambling, twangy guitar thing that works perfectly with the vocals, which are just a dead on impression of that trademark Dylan mumble-sing thing that works so well here.

Alright, so it was never like the Berlin Wall or anything, but barring the brief yet rampant flirtation between rock and dance during the glorious afterglow of the acid house/ecstasy honeymoon, the remainder of the decade slowly saw kids drift back to the polarities and a fence came down between clubbers and rockers.
