Let's Disco, Saturday
5/11/13, 1-3 pm!
(Download flyer & share with others HERE)
Join DJ Charis in an exciting afternoon of dancing to Disco music! Disco is a genre of dance music popular in the 1970s. In most disco tracks, strings, horns, electric pianos, and electric guitars create a fun background sound, and the vocals soar and reverberate over a steady beat. Some of the well-known late 1970s disco performers included Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, and The Jacksons. Be sure to wear your '70s attire to this Disco dance party with DJ Charis.
