before i went to sleep i was thinking about the idea of progressive dance (not to be confused with progressive house)

progressive dance, mirroring progressive rock, is part of the contrast i personally find between "electronic music" and "EDM." it also falls under alternative dance, i suppose

progressive dance would pretty much be:

- any electronic song that's at least six minutes long
- any electronic album that's at least an hour long
- (in addition to either of the above) explicitly designed to take the listener on a journey or through a concept. can't be the vibe of a journey, has to be a journey itself
