Disco Dance

Disco is like being in a fashion show. You move in an inspired fashion. It is in disco dance where you do your moves in a nonchalant manner. Being cool is definitely a hit in disco dance. You are cool when you use rhythmic consistent steps, you get loose and you are laid-back. Just smile, get an attitude, get into the groove. Strut your stuff on the dance floor. Show off! And have fun.

In the late 1970s where many major US cities thrived on disco club scenes, the focus was on the hip nightclubs and private loft parties where DJs would play disco hits through powerful PA systems for the dancers. Some clubs had developed their lighting systems so that they will correspond to the beat of the music. DJs played hits and the light shows sent excitement that kept people dancing all night long.

Cities established disco dance schools to teach people how to do popular dances such as the "the hustle", "touch dancing" and "the cha-cha". A unique Disco Fashion also evolved from what disco-goers wore during nights out. Such fashion included flowing dresses for women and shiny polyester shirts for men.

For a very short time, disco dance was a wave of rave for cities across America and some other parts of the world.
