Snap! – The Artist

Snap! is a German Eurodance group formed in 1989 by producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti. The act has been through a number of line-up changes over the years, including American singers, songwriters and rappers Thea Austin, Turbo B, and Penny Ford. Their best known hits are “The Power” and “Rhythm Is a Dancer”, both of which took the No. 1 spot in multiple countries.

Rhythm is a Dancer – The Song

‘Rhythm is a Dancer ‘ is a 1992 song by German Eurodance group Snap!. It was released in 30 March 1992 as the second single from their second studio album, The Madman’s Return. Written by Benito Benites, John “Virgo” Garrett III (aliases for German producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti) and Thea Austin, and produced by Benites and Garrett III.
The song was an international success, topping the charts in France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. It spent six weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart, becoming the second biggest-selling single of 1992, surpassed only by Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You”. “Rhythm Is a Dancer” was originally never planned to be released as a single. Good club reactions to that track, however, made Snap!’s German label, Logic, change their minds. Logic arranged a private test at its own discotheque, the Omen, to see how well the public responded to the new song. This is where the instant club appeal of “Rhythm Is a Dancer” first came to notice.

The Female Eurodancer Dancer – The Shape

This record has been modelled into the silhouette of  a lady performing the dance popularised by this Eurodance song and its promotional video. Eurodance (sometimes referred to as Euro-NRG, Euro-electronica or Euro) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1980s in Europe. It combines many elements of hip hop, techno, Hi-NRG, house music, and Euro disco. This genre of music is heavily influenced by the use of rich vocals, sometimes with rapped verses. This, combined with cutting-edge synthesisers, strong bass rhythm and melodic hooks, establishes the core foundation of Eurodance music.
