  • A Dance Anthem or Club Anthem is a dance (or disco) track which receives almost timeless status, being played commonly many years after its release. Many older (pre-1990) tracks which are refered to as Dance Anthems would only be played at retro nights in clubs, or at themed parties. A common sub-category of Dance Anthems would be Handbag Songs, refering to their common usage at womens parties, hen nights, etc. Exampls of tracks like this would be I Feel Love by Donna Summer, or I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.

However, most commonly a Dance Anthem is a track which DJ's still play in normsl sets alongside modern tracks. Some are played only towards the end of a set, almost as if a mini retro set was being played, but some are still used as if they were recently released dance music.
