disco fever

Seventies dance craze

Disco fever is intense enthusiasm for disco music and culture, especially during the genre's peak in the late 1970s.

The phrase evokes the era's dance clubs, mirror balls, and pulsing rhythms.

It can describe someone swept up in the scene or, more loosely, any consuming passion for dancing: Saturday Night Fever gave the whole country disco fever.
