What are the different types of dance music?

Can someone help me make a list of different types of dance music (disco, house, trip-hop, dubstep)? I am doing a video project and would like to get a list of different styles of music so I can make my research a little easier. It doesn't matter what country the music is from, just list what you know. Thanks! (Please no commentary about how much you hate dance music, etc., thanks).

Update:

1. you didn't answer my question. you directed me to your question. that was kind of wack. thumbs down.

Update 2:

I am not just talking about edm because I do not believe "disco" would be considered under that label so if there are "dance" or club sub genres beyond what is listed here, please include. Thanks.
