The politics of Dancing is a DJ mix CD from German superstar Paul van Dyk.

It is obvious that PvD loves his job. In the liner notes on this album he writes passionately about the importance of the dance music culture as a whole, which has been largely forgotten of late according to Mr van Dyk. The music is of course the heart and soul of this so called youth culture and PvD promotes this musically by remixing most of the tracks on the album himself.

The first disc is smooth yet energetic - the kind of music you would expect at the start of the night (in a club). Disc 2 is all about high energy trance and consists of harder, faster and more climactic tracks than disc 1.
