The Roaring ’20s 

Kick up your feet, pour a Sidecar, and make that fringe fly – we're taking it back to a Jazz Age speakeasy where flappers dominated the 1920s social dance scene with the energetic, rebellious dances of the Charleston, shimmy, and foxtrot. 

The Fab ’50s 

Born to hand jive, baby. The rock and roll revolution of the 1950s is encapsulated in dancing at Sock Hops, where youth hit moves like the Jitterbug, Bunny Hop, and Bop. Think Grease, poodle skirts, and Elvis Presley. 

The Swinging ’60s 

Come on, baby – let's do the twist. Quintessential 60s mod style of miniskirts and go-go boots paired with moves like the mashed potato, pony, and boogaloo capture this era's emerging counterculture and innovation. 

The Disco Fever ’70s 

Step into an underground club in NYC, where the disco culture of the 1970s originated. Dressed in denim, sequins, and platform shoes, let’s groove and boogie to syncopated synth beats and flashing lights with classic disco dance moves like the hustle. 

The Aerobic ’80s 

Let’s get physical. The 1980s aerobics craze brought leg warmers, spandex, and sweatbands to the dance floor. From Flashdance to the workout videos of Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons, energetic moves like high kicks, jazzercise, and grapevines set to synth beats were what this decade was all about.
