This book sheds light on the fascinating untold story behind what
is collectively and disputably called "disco dancing," and the
incredible effect that the phenomenon had on America-in New York
City and beyond. Disco is a dance and musical style that still
influences these art forms today. Many think that disco "died"
completely after the 1970s drew to a close, but in actuality people
continued dancing in the clubs after the very word "disco" became
an anathema. Disco Dance explains why disco was more than just a
dance form or a fad, describing many of the clubs-in New York City
especially-where the disco subculture thrived. The author examines
the origins of disco music, its evolution, and how young people
adapted the dance styles of the day to the disco beat, charting how
this dance of celebration and rebellion during troubling times
became subject to ridicule by the end of the decade. Provides
information from interviews with famed disco dancers, the DJs who
worked in concert with them, and habitual club goers Contains
dancers' playlists and quotes from period musicians Includes
archival art and photographs
