We end our week of disco delights with one more Hustle. Disco embraced its (many) critics’ complaints that musicians — or, more directly, big record companies seeking big profit — engineered the genre for mass-market appeal. Proponents responded by promoting disco as a warm and welcoming music, simple and inviting by design so everyone could participate. Whatever side of this meta-music scuffle you take, all can agree that disco dancing gave everyone, of every imaginable skill level, the opportunity to shake their booties. As this video from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis proves beyond all doubt, everyone can learn to disco dance.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
