It is simply sequenced drum samples, synth lines and other samples throught
a load of fx.   However you do need a whole set of specific skills to make
good dance music.   A good ear for timbre and a love of synthesis is a good
start.  The ability to create and recognise a good groove is also essencial.
Seems like a black art to me.  But I am forced to teach myself.   Even if
you had performance keyboard skills I doubt they would used much in a live
situation.  There is not much natural loose human timing and performance in
the majority dance music.  The synth lines are often so simple and
repetitive that it might even look silly trying to play them.
