How do I create electronic dance music?

I am a fan of dance/trance music (especially Tiesto and Armin van Buuren's) and I am wondering how I would go about making some of my own? I've seen that most of the 'good' djs use mixing desks to make/edit their music, I don't think I'll be able to afford one of those yet, so what is a good alternative? Computer programs? I have heard that Fruity Loops and Acid 5.0 are good, but I'm wondering are they actually THAT great, what are their good points, limitations and difficulty to use?

Thanks in advance!
 
Juan Atkins is one of the best techno music artists..if you want to make something new you just need to take some online lesson from Juan tutorial. Try this... best of luck.
