seeing the transmission of dance moves to and from disco is one of the things that also makes watching old Soul Train episodes so fun. proto-hip hop stuff, pop & lock, classic tapdance, on and on.
you know, that reminds me: i was alive during disco’s entire run, and i’ve been an avid thrift store haunter since the mid 1980s, and watching stuff like Soul Train and this reminds me that i have NEVER seen clothes like this in any thrift, anywhere. where did all the clothes that those dancers and the audience wear GO? an entire generation couldn’t have all decided to just throw away, burn, or destroy their wardrobes…
