Saturday night fever is an immersive event where we will look back over the golden years of the DISCO MUSIC. Disco is a musical style originating in the early 1970s that remained urban and largely underground until the middle of the decade when it began to emerge from America's urban nightlife scene. It achieved popularity during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Disco fashions were very trendy in the late 1970s. Discothèque-goers often wore glamorous, expensive and extravagant fashions for nights out at their local disco club. So be ready to wear shiny polyester shirts with colorful patterns and move the body with the rhythm of the shakers and enjoying the cocktails!
