Rhythm is one of the basic elements music. Much research on melody or chord had been done in recent years, and there are getting more research that has been observed based on rhythm recently. The aim of our work is to discover dance music style based on rhythm. We consider the timing information of dance music and propose a method to extract and represent rhythm. After mining frequent patterns for each category of music, the result is used to build a classifier and reach our goal, dance music style mining. The performance of our work measured by classification accuracy is up to 95%.
