boogying down

Disco floor moving

Boogying down is dancing enthusiastically, especially to funk, disco, or other rhythmic music.

The phrase suggests letting loose and enjoying yourself on the dance floor: We spent the whole night boogying down at the club.

It carries a slightly retro, playful tone, evoking 1970s disco culture.
