In my college days before late 80’s until I got married, I was a disco goer along with my group of 5 girls.
It was the craze during those times until about the 1990’s.
My group of friends and I would go discoing from about 8;00 in the evening until it closes at about 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. , and that’s on a weekly basis, sometimes 3 times a week.
They were the happiest times of our lives. We enjoyed dancing very much.
We were young, carefree, but still we acedt according to what is expected of us by our parents.
Before my husband and I became sweethearts, we were officemates who would always go disco dancing with our officemates in the evenings of Fridays, since Saturday will be a weekend.
We really had fun, disco dancing and hubby and I became closer as we always are partners when we dance. I guess, it’s a plus point for both of us to love each other eventually.
I wonder why it’s not returned as the craze now?
Today it’s singing with the aid of a videoke machine where everyone just sits and sings to the lyrics being flashed on the TV screen as one sings .
No wonder in my observation, the people before were slimmer than these times, because they get to wiggle whatever they drink and eat while they were in the disco.
Unlike with videoke singing , we eat and drink and only sit down to sing through the videoke machine. The microphone would just simply be passed from one hand to another until it reaches you, when it’s your turn to sing. No need to stand up.
Although, in the case of me and my batchmates, where we hire a private videoke room, we dance while someone would sing those upbeat songs from our time. I think that’s because we trying to emulate our times when the craze was disco dancing.
And boy, we enjoyed our videoke fun so much because we get to dance and dance while somebody from us sings.
So, have you experienced discoing also? What about videoke singing?

Wow you were really a party girl according to your story. Partying the whole week or three times in a week may sound like a lot of time out, but it's underatandable given that you were still young and in college.
During my days I also used to go out but not as much. Mine was kind of limited, I would go like twice in a month. But it was not a given that I would go. But I can remember December was the month of having all this fun, because most kids were on holiday, celebrations are going on from every corner, parties are the in thing during this time. Me and some two friends of mine created a dancing group that used to perform routine dances, around the estates. We would have people from different places come to ask us to go and perform for them, and Mark you it was all for fun no one paid anyone we would do it for free and really enjoy ourselves in the long run.
Going to the disco was a Saturday event. We would hang out the who night until the next morning at 6pm. We did this because if you left at midnight or at 2am in the morning, you would not get means to go home. Those are the days when you would not get taxis that easy they were mostly for the rich and quite expensive.
Anyway I loved those days they were the most enjoyable and memorable days of my life. I wish I would go back to those days but am all grown now and taking life slow. Some of this things don't excite me much nowadays. Am more quiet and reserved and just enjoying my quiet time at home.
So you too shared my penchant of having fun during our days when we were young and carefree.
That was nice that you formed a dancing group that can perform randomly for other people to watch you. I guess , it's the happiness of being able to give in to your passion of dancing and being watched and admired by people that made you enjoy it, just as I enjoyed the fun also of just being with my friends dancing the night away.
We both have happy growing up days, that we can share with our children.
I guess, my growing up years was lots of fun compared to my daughter's who was always studying . ha ha ha But then, she's now a doctor and we are so proud of her,
I enjoy watching disco dancing. It a lot of entertainment. But actually I enjoy all dancing. It relaxes me and even clears my mind. I even enjoy dancing myself every since I was a little girl. As I grew older I begin to pole dance. It wasn't about the money. I just really enjoyed it. Dancing was a big activity for me.
Really you pole dance! Wow, that is difficult compared to disco dancing .
Either way, bith is beneficial to our health. It helps us get a toned and healthy body.
And I suppose you have a sexy body because of pole dancing?
