Dance-pop music is generally characterised by strong beats with easy, uncomplicated song structures which are generally more similar to pop music than the more free-form dance genre, with an emphasis on melody as well as catchy tunes.

I'll do a bit of comments on each song, but they won't affect your scores (cuz I'm a bit lazy).

Personally I like Venus, but it seems like many others don't. It's a good choice tho (but of course a bit polarising).
G.U.Y. - Lady Gaga

Not much "dance-pop" tbh, more EDM and electro if you ask me.
Im a Slave 4 U - Britney Spears

Everyone's dragging you as they think this isn't "dance-pop". It's dance-pop with R&B and urban influences tbh. Either ways, one of Britney's best.
Break the Ice - Britney Spears
ReachOut

Is this song a trend-setter because it's a Madonna song or because Pharrell produced it? Anyway, this still does well as dance-pop.
Sorry - Madonna
Sebas

Yep Kyle., Sebas stole your song. Anyways, perfect choice tbh. One of my most fave recent Madonna songs.
Shut Up - Black Eyed Peas

I could see how you could spin this as dance-pop, but it isn't strong enough to be the main genre of the song. Sorry sis.
Dont Stop the Party - Black Eyed Peas
Rem

Too EDM for me too. And ugh mediocre BEP song.
Euphoria - Usher

It's dance-pop alright, so it really comes down to song quality. Personally I don't really like Usher... (not cuz he isn't a pop girl), but looks like others don't too.
Im a Freak (feat. Pitbull) - Enrique Iglesias

Do It - Nelly Furtado

Amazing choice tbh, straight up dance-pop and is a huge bop. Sad this didn't do much better.
SuperLove - Charli XCX

I thought this was a really good song, and one of the more unique entries.
When Love Takes Over - David Guetta & Kelly Rowland
#GENETIQUE
10 points
I was a bit unsure about this cos David Guetta is more of EDM, but I think this is subdued enough to be dance-pop. Plus, it's a freaking amazing song.
Cannibal - Kesha
SailorMoon

Interesting choice. Works too.
Dance Again (feat. Pitbull) - Jennifer Lopez
Speezy
-12 points
Yeah it works, but ugh this song is so boring.
