Pop dance is a high-energy genre characterized by catchy melodies, driving beats, and infectious rhythms, often featuring synthesized leads, pulsing basslines, and prominent vocal hooks. Emerging in the late 2000s, pop dance evolved from the intersection of electronic dance music (EDM), pop, and house, with producers incorporating catchy pop sensibilities into their dancefloor-friendly productions. The genre's golden era spanned the 2010s, with its popularity peaking in the mid-decade. Pop dance's cultural significance lies in its ability to bring people together, transcending borders and genres, and providing a soundtrack for festivals, clubs, and mainstream radio. With its blend of euphoric builds, soaring melodies, and sing-along choruses, pop dance distinguishes itself from other EDM subgenres through its emphasis on accessibility and mass appeal. Its fusion of electronic production with pop's emphasis on songcraft has made it a staple of contemporary popular music.
