The Juno Award for "Dance Recording of the Year" has been awarded since 1990, as recognition each year for the best dance music recording by an artist from Canada.[citation needed] Due to the relatively single-oriented nature of the dance genre, the award is most commonly presented for an individual single or a remix, although it may also be presented for a full album.
At the Juno Awards of 2021, it was announced that a new category for Underground Dance Single of the Year will be created alongside the existing category, and presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022.[1]
