No, it's called "dance" because that's what the music is for, for you to dance to. It's also a catch-all term that encompasses many different sub-genres. A large music store such as Virgin isn't going to have a progressive breaks section separate from a nu-skool breaks section, are they? I know of EDM record stores that don't even have that.

OMFG!!! heheh, if an american walked up to me and started talking about progressive i'd flip out. Because i mean... i think a FEW people have actually 'heard' the term trance (at the same time not knowing what it means...) but progressive? mm... i don't think many americans know of progressive as a genre of music.

You should get out more.  Some of the biggest clubs in the country have solely progressive nights. Buzz in Washington DC (best club in the USA according to URB magazine 3 years running) was progressive-themed and had a few thousand clubbers turn up every week. Arc/Vinyl in NYC is the same. And there are tons more. In fact, the USA probably has a better appreciation of progressive than many European countries, countries who's clubbing culture is more into trance. Trance was never widespread at clubs in the USA. Even less so now that it has almost run it's course.
