Now that you mention Trance, to nanne: I used "techno/dance" as a broad umbrella term for electronic music with strong beats (I include everyone from Paul van Dyk, Scooter, Robet Miles, Underworld, Loona to ), whose fans use these and a variety of other names - with techno zene = "techno music" being the most widespread umbrella term in Hungarian, but I was less sure about elsewhere, sayh there's this:

Dance - Wikipedia

Meist wird mit Dance insbesondere im kontinentaleuropäischen Raum eine massentaugliche und kommerzielle Variante von Techno und House bezeichnet. Stilprägend ist eine eindeutige und einprägende Melodie, die von einem bassbetonten Beat im Viervierteltakt begleitet wird.

Thus Eurodance as described and as shown by your example is only part of it. (Also according to the above article.)

With dance music, the sub-genre breakdowns can get just a little extreme.

About the only thing you can say about is that there are probably synthesizers, and there are probably beats.

The rest just depends.

That's true, you get this language confusion. When Dutch people used to talk about 'house' back in the 90s they meant stuff like Capella and 2Unlimited. Which caused endless net discussions :-)

They stopped making music! Jean-Paul DeCoster seems to have retired with his millions, Phil Wilde is still driving other dance acts (notably, Kate Ryan).

The number one techno musician in Hungary seems to be one DJ Sterbinszky. Those who like techno decide if he's any worth - I myself get enough of any of his work after four beats...
