Well, thirdform asked for it, I think it got the potential for a fun thread.
Qustion is, when could you start talking about "Eurodance"? - as a distinct mainstream - "genre" Eurodance was most certainly a 1990s thing. But lots of elements could be found way earlier, like mid 80s chart success of some Italo-Disco. There was also the element of trying to make underground sounds popular, or at least get those electronic sounds less rough and break into the charts. Strongholds of this sound clearly was Germany, but also lots of italian or belgian/dutch projects were successful.
I'll start with a chart hit in germany and italy of late 1987 - Sabrina's "Boys". Still very italo-disco:
