  • Disco Inferno!, Part I

    Virtual (Zoom)

    Class Schedule: September 11, 16, & 18, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM
    Dance music had existed since at least the 1930s, but the beat took on a new meaning in the 1970s. The four-on-the-floor beat, wah-wah guitar, horns, funky bass, and soulful vocals invited people from various backgrounds onto the floor.  The craze may have ended by 1980, but the music never died; instead, the genre transformed into other genres such as House and Electronic Dance Music (EDM).  Disco Inferno, a two-part course, will explore the history of disco, from its origins through its heyday and beyond.

    Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.
