Hard Dance - Is the new defintion of Hard House, because a lot of people who play hard house are mixing a lot of techno aswell, so have redefined there style to 'Hard Dance'. Hard Dance is definetely a UK thing.

I could tell you loads of differences if you wanna know any more ask mate.

Completely agree with you there Corbz :lol:
