Prog you can dance to

I find "Going For The One" and "Parallels" (both by Yes) to be quite toe tapping.

While at work, my fellow employees claim I look like I'm having a seizure because my whole body gets going.  It doesn't matter what album: I really get into it.

Let me make this clear

Slow dance to Available Light.   

Dancing to superconductor has me in stitches!

Actually, slow dancing to Available Light would be awesome.

Heresy would fit the bill even better - if it weren't for the lyrics

I was just watching Peter Gabriel Secret World Live DVD and everyone was dancing. I prefered when he dressed up as fruit of the loom or an asexual fox. Dancing? At the high school dances we would go to the sock hops just so we had an excuse to drink beer and smoke dope  in back of the gymnasium away from all the dancing. Dancing? Just makes me sick. Don't you guys play sports or work on cars? Dancing?

Prog Dance? Dance Prog? Are we all in the NO camp?  Or might there someday be such a subgenre as Prog Dance or Dance Prog?  There are plenty of examples (not on PA yet) of dance music with prog tendencies.

Why not?  Personally, I would love to have a genre of dance music that was functionally conducive to dancing but also musically interesting in it's own right.  It would probably just end up under progressive electronic, though.

Not necessarily - such a thing as Dance Prog could include the quirkier end of disco & funk, and psychedelic soul too.
