Dannii Minogue
Danielle Jane Minogue () is an Australian singer, television personality, and actress. She initially gained recognition for her appearances on the television show ''Young Talent Time'' (1982–1988) and for her role as Emma Jackson on the soap opera '' Home and Away'' (1989–1990). Minogue began her music career in the early 1990s, achieving early success with her debut studio album, ''Love and Kisses'' (1991). The album was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry and included the hit singles " Love and Kisses", "Baby Love", "Jump to the Beat" and " Success". Following the release of her second album, ''Get into You'' (1993), Minogue's popularity as a singer had declined, leading her to make a name for herself with award-winning performances in theatre productions. The late 1990s saw a brief return to music after Minogue reinvented herself as a dance artist with her third album, ''Girl'' (1997), and its lead single " All I Wanna Do".

Dance Music
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are old fashioned dances. In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance). In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing. The waltz also arose later in the classical era. Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and po ...
