I dance to prog music all the time. Well actually more like jump around whilst hands flail wildly about. I just can't stop my feets from a-tappin' when listening to prog, particularly GG! If Time to Kill wasn't influenced by dance music then I don't know what is.

Only the man with the greatest dance ability can dance to prog.

Sometimes when I'm home alone I go into my basement, turn up the stereo really loud and dance to whatever I feel like listening to. I think the strangest thing I've danced to is Toccata by ELP. I have requested a few prog songs at school dances (no matter how hard my friends and I pushed them, the DJs wouldn't play Atom Heart Mother or Careful With That Axe Eugene). I almost got the guy to play Hoedown at prom, but it ended before he got to it.- var SymRealOnLoad; var SymRealOnUnload; function SymOnUnload() { window.open = SymWinOpen; if(SymRealOnUnload != null) SymRealOnUnload(); } function SymOnLoad() { if(SymRealOnLoad != null) SymRealOnLoad(); window.open = SymRealWinOpen; SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload; window.onunload = SymOnUnload; } SymRealOnLoad = window.onload; window.onload = SymOnLoad; //-->

No-Man is probably the closest to a fusion of dance music and prog that I've ever heard.

Bellyaches; Depeche Mode - Violator, NIN - Pretty
Hate Machine and Bush - Deconstructed are where
dance, electronica, progressive and psychedelic

Excellent tracks to dance to (if you want something that really kicks ass):

"Burundi Drummer's Nightmare" by the British vein of Amon Düül (from the album "Meetings With Men Machines - Unremarkable Heroes of the Past")
"Ship of Fools" by Van der Graaf Generator (from the album "Vital")
"Death Warmed Up" by High Tide (from the album "Sea Shanties")

I agree; "Maahnt" is one hell of a track to dance to. Also "Nono", in which Christian Vander repeatedly sings something that sounds like "Die Mimosen", German for "The Mimosas", which always makes me smile.

And "De Futura" just rocks, especially the part where it accelerates.
