This October, Fred Astaire Boise is celebrating dancing through the decades!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a waltz down memory lane and revisit some of the most iconic dance eras.<\/span><\/p><h1><strong>Roaring 20s<\/strong><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From the flashy Charleston to the classic Foxtrot, the 1920s were characterized by energetic dance styles. Think dance parties worthy of &#8220;The Great Gatsby.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During this decade, party goers took their cues from Broadway and dance floors were filled with showy, lively dances. Women began to bob their hair and wear shorter dress styles as a way to express themselves and rebel against the status quo and the flapper still defines the dance culture of the 20s.<\/span><\/p><h1><strong>Fabulous 50s<\/strong><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll, the Jive, the Bunny Hop, the Twist\u2026 dancing shaped much of American youth culture in the 50s! With the rise of television, more people had an easy way to see and learn the latest dance moves and dance crazes swept across the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An increased interest in Caribbean music during this decade meant that the Mambo, Rumba, Calypso and Cha Cha Cha skyrocketed in popularity and became fixtures in American dance culture.<\/span><\/p><h1><strong>Swinging 70s<\/strong><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In pop culture, the dances of the 70s defined the decade. Disco music and dancing became a cultural phenomenon with disco balls, glitzy fashion, and the Hustle taking over dance floors. Line dances became ultra popular during the 70s and remain a fixture at wedding receptions to this day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Studio 54 to \u201cSaturday Night Fever,\u201d this dance era made an enduring mark on social dancing.<\/span><\/p><h1><strong>Celebrate With Us!<\/strong><\/h1><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To celebrate Fred Astaire Boise\u2019s two year anniversary, we are going to be dancing through the decades all month long!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Join us throughout October for fun, themed dance parties.
