I think the term dance music is probably quite a good one to describe the music that we (or I?) would like to play out though...yes it is a very general term - it could cover a whole host of genres from 70s funk (very danceable no?),pop (and before you object remember that the Beatles, the Kinks, the Clash, the Stranglers, etc were ALL pop at one time and we've probably danced to all of them at some point), disco (its not all cheesy, and it is all designed for the dance floor), punk?, post-punk?, punk-funk?, disco-punk?, reggae, dub, ska?, disco-ska?, reggae-funk?, early 90s house and techno, nu-techno, nu-metal (god forbid!), old-skool hip-hop, gangster rap, bootleg beats, breaks, electro-punk, electro-pop, nu-electro, techno?, post-electro-techno-funk?... its all good and its all gonna get you shakin dat ass at some point in your life, so lets forget the name-dropping, the genre-defining and just have some fun...maybe...i suppose the point is that the term dance music means just that, and that the rest is pretty much unimportant...?
