History:
Disco is a dance music containing elements of pop, psychedelic and Latin that was most popular in the 1970s, The term is derived from discothèque (French for "library of phonograph records", but subsequently used as proper name for nightclubs in Paris). Its initial audiences were club-goers from the Italian American, African American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in New York City and Philadelphia during the late 1960s Disco was more than just music; the disco scene also had a subculture centred around club-going, dancing, fashion, drug use, and sexual promiscuity. Disco hit the television airwaves with Soul Train in 1971 hosted by Don Cornelius, then Marty Angelo's Disco Step-by-Step Television Show in 1975 with Robin and Reggie In the early years dancers in discos danced in a "hang loose" style. Popular dances included "Bump", "Penguin", "Boogaloo", "Watergate" and the "Robot". During the disco era, many nightclubs would commonly host disco dance competitions or offer free instructional lessons. The pioneer of disco dance
instruction was Karen Lustgarten in San Francisco in 1973.
