Disco Dancing
The word Disco originated in the big band era with the radio DJ’s.
The DJ’s eventually got into the nightclubs and started the
disco trend using records rather than live bands. This was much cheaper
for the club owners than hiring the bands. By 1978 the disco scene
reached its peak after the release of “Saturday Night Fever” with
John Travolta and the introduction of the “World Disco Dance
Championship”. |
