Learn to produce Music and Deejay!
Decide what type of dance/electronica music you would prefer. The only way to do this is to listen to a large variety of music until you find the sound or style that you like best. The main ones are Dance (Commercial), Trance, House, Drum n Bass, Garage, Hip Hop, UK/Happy Hardcore.etc and other totally different types of sub-genres to dance. Don't be limited by genres and pop charts look for new artists and experiment!
2
Start with your beat. The beat holds the song together and controls how danceable the music is. To make a good beat, listen to dance music and try to pick out the characteristics of the drums only. Dance music is almost always in 4/4 or time, but there are occurances otherwise such as Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers in which they throw in a 2/4 bar every few instrumental measures. Hi hat sounds good with straight eighth notes or sixteenths. Snare drum is used to accent and syncopate the beat. Try to use electronic snare and stay away from the clap, because that is used a lot in hip-hop.
3
Devise the bassline. Dance music is based on repetition and usually starts with the catchy bassline. The bassline can also be a rhythm on a chord progression that you make.
4
Begin layering. The farther you progress in the song the more action there should be. Usually some layers are rhythms on the chord progression, others are the same note or riff played over and over despite the progression.
5
Listen to how the music sounds. If something doesn't sound right then it is up to you to figure out why it doesn't sound right. All music is based upon experimentation and the same theory used over 400 years ago. The reason to study theory is to learn about what musicians of the past discovered by themselves.
