Why do you write "Eurodance" with a hyphen? From what I've seen on the internet, most people write it without one. For consistency, the hyphen should be removed. Thanks!

Wikipedia titled "Eurodance", but the article's first sentence inserts a hyphen followed by a capitalized letter (like Allmusic).  Grammatically, compounding parts of two words into a single noun should be hyphenated.  Unlike the Euro-related compounded styles though, Allmusic isn't grammatically consistent when joining whole words into styles like country soul versus country-pop.

Discogs always spells it without one.
