'Fine line' between dance and vocal trance?

How do i differentiate between vocal trance and dance music? For example, Marc Aurels "running" would clearly be considered vocal trance, whereas as song like "Fragma - Everytime You Need Me" could be considered either or.
I've found that if the vocals become the focal point of the song, it begins to sound more dancy than trancy.
thanks in advance,

| People around here call it cheese. I dont much care for the term, but to determine what is dance/cheese you have to think " would anyone who doesnt listen to trance regularly like this song?"...or is my understanding of "fromage" lol |

I think that there is a huge difference between vocal trance and dance or cheese...you can tell right away...In the majority of trance music the main build up or climax of the song seems to come near the end, where as in euro/dance there is no real climax really, just the main chorus after a verse of lyrics...
you also can tell by the beat...most dance music has that teeny bop beat
i guess you can tell i really hate dance music... |

| It's not so much of a fine line as sort of a gray area. There is no _right_ way to distinguish, so just call it whatever you want as long as it makes decent sense. |

In the beginning, it's hard to know the difference, but after listening some trance, you'll get it :D
Trance has build ups - dance gets to the main riff quickly (Dance usually sounds like "slow Happy Hardcore"....)
Trance usually has a climax - dance doesn't
Vocal Trance is hardly confused with other styles - dance can be confused more often (it's sometimes housy or pop-ish).
I used to listen to Eurodance when I was younger (from 8 to 12 yo) :D |
