Last month, I wrote about how Martin Garrix’s “Animals” was featured on the ABC hit show, Dancing with the Stars. Many people stated how crazy they looked and the dance was weird. Personally, I thought it was awesome and loved it. I was going to write about how Dancing with the Stars played EDM again. Turns out that I was wrong. Martin Garrix’s “Animals” was not the first time EDM was on the show. The first time an EDM track was on the show stared in season 3. From here, I’m going to share all the instances (or try to):

I like to think I got them all. Not completely sure. Feel free to add to the list. Obviously, “Animals” is on the other post. What do you guys think about Dancing with the Stars‘ history with electronic dance music?
