1979 Disco World Championship

Regarding the audiences’ outfits, I found some disco era clothes in second-hand shops in the late 90’s when I was living in LA, but no dance leotards, and that’s that last I’ve seen pretty much anything like that. But I don’t really shop at high-end vintage boutiques save a few times I’ve gone with my wife. She has an amazing 70’s era dress she bought in one. I wonder who made all the costumes for American Hustle.

Totally! I just thought it was interesting that that happened the same summer as this Championship.

Just to be clear, I love disco and I even learned to dance a little back when I was doing amateur competitions. It just occurred to me that posting that link without comment could be seen as a dis on disco. It always seemed really bizarre to me how suddenly the disco era died out.
