Rule The Disco Dancefloor With Tips From This Vintage Book

Admin

“The art of moving smoothly at the disco-theque does not come very easily to some - but a ‘how-to’ manual produced in the 1960s at least tried to make sure that it wasn’t always murder on the dance floor. Discotheque Dances, by the no-doubt thoroughly hip and groovy Dick Blake, tried to lay down the basics for tone-deaf and rhythmless squares with two left feet.
For the princely sum of $1 you could be part of Mr Blake’s world of modern dance - mastering the Mashed Potatoes, the Shampoo, the Swim and the intriguingly titled Frug by copying easy-to-follow instructions.”


Here are a few pictures we could get a hold of and there’s an instructional video surprise at the end you really don’t want to miss either.
