roller disco

Groovy skating party

Roller disco is a form of disco dancing done on roller skates, or a venue where this takes place.

The phenomenon peaked in the late 1970s and early 1980s, combining the era's disco music with skating rinks featuring mirror balls, colored lights, and sound systems.
