Yeah - just to refrain on this - I was an old timer vidder (before real life got in the way a few years ago) - and "dance vid" did not exist as a genre we talked about at all until post-Vividcon (i.e., after that con started). Club Vivid at Vividcon more or less turned it into a genre that people talked about. So, we had vid prior to that with people dancing in them, and we mostly said "cool, that's nice" especially when it was well-timed to the music, but it wasn't a genre of its own yet.
I heard this said very explicitly at Escapade this year, by another old time ex-VCR vidder during the vid critique panel.
