Four Basic Disco Dance Rules

Excerpt from The Disco Handbook by Bruce Pollack, published in 1979:

1) Be prepared to sweat. It's only through hard work and repetition that your body will eventually come to accept it's new function.

2) Don't take it so seriously. If you think it'll be the end of the world if you don't learn how to dance, the pressure will kill you. It won't be the end of the world. It will only seem that way.

3) Don't take it too lightly, either. If all you want to do is clown around, you'll be undermining your purpose. You want to get out there and take part in the major entertainment form of the eighties. So wipe the grin off your face and concentrate. You can learn to dance.

4) Let the music take you. Forget about how foolish you may look and just move.
