This is not dance music necessarily but very interesting historically as far as American music, illustrating the strong connection between classical and jazz. The great Leonard Bernstein discusses Charles Ives who wrote a 1906 classic, The Cage. Most chords in Western music is built on diatonic 3rds. The Cage features chords built on 4ths. This fascinated the great jazz horn player John Coltrane and other jazz greats who incorporated the concept into their music.
