I was only about 6-7 years old when disco ended but my mom had a teenage sister that lived through that era and I remember how exciting it was. Living vicariously through her. Disco music was fire! I still love it to this day.
Every weekend my parents went out and I couldn't wait for this show to come on. I think I had a babysitter....but I must have completely blocked that part out bc all i cared about was watching this. Groovy!
Janet Jones later married a certain hockey player named Gretzky is on the left - she met Nils Van Patten while appearing on this show and was engaged to him before Gretzky - she had a pretty meteoric rise through Hollywood!
If you study this clip closely, in less than a minute and a half you will see where some of Michael Jackson's moves in "Beat It" originated, where some of John Travolta's moves in Saturday Night Fever came from, and the source of some of Lady Gaga's moves in "Telephone".

Denny Terio and Motion were the ABSOLUTE EPITOME of Friday Night-"Let's Go to the Disco"!!! Excellent Clip! Thank you for posting.
I used to love 'Dance Fever' as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. Dick Van Patton was a frequent guest judge.
That's spelled the late ⏰ Dick Van 🚐 Patten (EIGHT IS ENOUGH), not Van 🚐 Patton.
LOVE THIS!!!! GOOD TIMES!!!! BOOGIE DOWN!!!!!!
The man who taught John Travolta in becoming a star with his dancing. I hope Danny got paid well.
Merv Griffin clapped his cheeks.
Actually it was Lester Wilson who taught Travolta and many believe, it was him who breathed life into the movie
This happened, and we let it happen.
Sylvester on the mike
I love 70s spandex
Hahahah- this dance was great!

Whitey, that’s spelled Nels (but not Nils) Van 🚐 Patten.

Janet Jones had somewhat of a career...managibg a few lines and walk on in movies. Luckily she met Wayne therefore gaining financial stability.
Sylvester singing?What song?
1:29 I dated the lady on the left in 1979. Then she got clingy.
Is that Janet (Gretzky) Jones? St. Louis girl...
@@montyenright Yep 👍🏻!
Who Is She ?
Flo Solder, one ☝🏻 of two ✌️🏻 women 💃🏻💃🏻 called 📞 “Motion” alongside Janet Marie Jones on the original DANCE 💃🏻🕺🏻 FEVER 🥵🤒 back ⬅️ in 1980--81.
The first week of dancing with the stars is better than this guy. That's just awful
