If your basing it on a dance festival, you could use the arguement that there are more rock festivals in the UK each year than dance:
Leeds
Reading
T in the Park
V
Glastonbury
Download
The mininum that one of those draw on 1 day is 40,000
On what are you basing the scale of dance music on? It's not record sales as that genre fails in compasion to cheesy pop in the UK and Country music out sells Dance in the US, so what are you basing you statement on?

THE U.S doesn't MEAN SHIT! liek I said if we were basing everything on the U.S, soccer wouldn't be recognized as the most popular. Check out ANY dance music festival. They draw in the hundreds of thousands. Dance music is more of the live performance then cd sellers.
Factor in South america were it's huge as well, Germnay, Holland, Spain, the list goes on and on.
This club I go to in Canada every Saturday packs in people by the thousands, even for dj's that are viewed as "less than "
Check out the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and see the numbers it draws. You can't deny it.
