Ah. Now here I can be of some help. Try these:

    * Apoptygma Berzerk - fantastic darkpop stuff from Norway, I think
    * VNV Nation - like Apop, but even more dancy
    * Fiction 8 - Denver darkpop (industrial/goth/dance); I recommend
      either their last record, CHAOTICA, or the one that's about to be
      released, FOREVER, NEVERMORE. They have an MP3.com site with a
      couple downloads you can sample.
    * Assemblage 23 - last disc had some outstanding dancy darkpop on it.
    * Evanescence - not really dancy, but one of the better dark pop
      records I've heard in forever.

If I hear you correctly, these bands ought to be interesting to her.

You may have success in life, but then just think of it - 
what kind of life was it?  What good was it - you've 
never done the thing you wanted to do in all your life.  
I always tell my students, go where your body and 
soul want to go.  When you have the feeling, then stay 
with it, and don't let anyone throw you off.
