Techno - style ...it’s not only a music style
– it has many variations and references to everyday life. It emerged in the 1990s along the appearence of a disco music genre
called rave and it was adopted by fashion, clothing and clubs. At the end of 1990s and after it, till a few years ago the
techno remix, techno club and techno house music styleshave also developed into dominant music styles. Based on these styles and on the lifestyle which
they all entail there has appeared a new, rapidly developing dance style
based on disco dance, funky and hip-hop – today it’s a dominant, free dance style in dance clubs.
Techno dance is very fast and it is basedon flexible movements.
