About Disco.

Disco is a form of dance music that was prominent from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. It formed out of New York City and took elements of soul and funk music and combined them with elements of salsa and Latin music to create an entirely unique sound. Lead guitars were put to the side, unlike in the popular rock scene, and electronic beats and orchestral instruments made up the majority of the sound. Disco was short-lived, but went on to inspire other popular music styles, such as house music, techno, and parts of British New Wave and certain hip-hop subgenres.

History of

Disco was birthed from the sound of New York and Philadelphia soul music. These included percussion-heavy backgrounds, which became especially prominent in the Disco sound. Major producers and record labels, such as SalSoul Records and Casablanca, helped to bring Disco into the limelight. As it grew in popularity it was mainly an underground phenomenon, though an entire subculture of Disco dance clubs popped up in major metropolitan areas. Between 1978 and 1980, many Disco songs where at the top of the charts, and the movie "Saturday Night Fever" pushed the movement into mainstream culture. After that movie, many people felt Disco was becoming tailored for a mainstream audience and therefore losing its edge. It eventually fell out of popularity because of that.

Ιστορία και πληροφορίες για τη Disco.

Με λίγα λόγια
H Disco είναι καταρχάς μουσικό ρεύμα και ολόκληρη φιλοσοφία που εμπεριέχει και το χορό Disco.
Στην αρχή ο ρυθμός ήταν αργός (90 beats το λεπτό), αλλά όσο περνούσαν τα χρόνια γινόταν και πιο γρήγορος, φτάνοντας τα 110-140 beats το λεπτό.
Η Disco διαδόθηκε πολύ λόγω των πολύ χορευτικών μουσικών κομματιών και θρυλικών ταινιών, όπως το "Πυρετός το Σαββατόβραδο".


Ιστορικά στοιχεία
Ξεκίνησε στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του '70 με τραγούδια των Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor και άλλων.
Η ταινία "Saturday Night Fever" έθεσε τα στάνταρ για την ενδυμασία και την κίνηση της Disco.
Ντισκοτέκ υπήρχαν μέχρι τα τέλη του '80, αλλά παραμένει δημοφιλής μέχρι και σήμερα.


Φιγούρες που ξεχωρίζουν
Τα βήματα της Disco είναι αρκετά εύκολο να τα μάθει κανείς και ο αυτοσχεδιασμός είναι βασικός.
Τα ρούχα σχεδιαστών και τα ψηλά τακούνια ήταν βασικά αξεσουάρ για ένα χορευτή της Disco.
Βασικό στοιχείο της Disco είναι το χτύπημα του ποδιού στο πάτωμα σύμφωνα με το ρυθμό του τραγουδιού.
