Our favorite clubs from back in the day
Any avid dancer knows the emotional impact that a club can have on you. It can inspire you for years to come. The early discotheques and night clubs were the roots of the hustle. Before the Dance weekends and socials, the hustle was mainstream, in the clubs. During the early 70's through the 80's, the hustle could be seen in discotheques and night clubs through out the country. Great dancers would frequent the discos that catered to them for: new music, a great dance floor, fellow dancers, ambiance.... Here are some more letters that share those great club memories as we unlock the time capsule. Enjoy RB ...................................... Some of my favorite dance clubs from back in the day were, Fantasy Island which was located in Brooklyn New York and Uncle Sam's in Long Island. Louie's favorite was the Town house 48. Mary & Louis Rosa ...................................... Walking into Inferno's in 1979-1980 is an experience that most could handle and some would not come back. I could not get my friends from Bklyn to go, so I went alone or dragged my sister for company. I loved entering through those doors. The people were diversified from all races, creed and color. You had hustle dancers in one spot and freestyle dancers in another. But the spot I took was, of course, the hustle spot. The music pumped with bass and underground hustle music. On the floor I saw Arte, Eddie, Maria, Melvin, Louie, Sammy, Kitty, BooBoo, Butchie, Lourdes, Nellie, OMG the dancers were all there. It was a high to me and I did not take drugs. The addiction hit me as soon as I met all those dancers.
......................................... Hey Ron! How are you and the family?? My clubs from back of the day were: #1 the club I first met you in NJ, I was all of about 17 with my phony ID and you were what in Diapers??? Someplace Else, The Library, Valentino's, Francine's, Club Tomorrow - beautiful place, CC Charlie's where I first met Bobby Peters, The Branch - The club downtown where I first met Mike Cobb. (I forgot the name of it)!!! Another club called Elans where I first met Stanley in 1985 for the dance fever tryouts downtown. Emerald City (Great place), Rumors (of course), the Chez in Atlantic City, OF COURSE! AND last but one of the very best, JOEY'S, in Clifton, NJ. I miss everyone up in Phillie!! Please say hello to everyone for me. Love, Caren Casper ........................................ Hi Ron Where do I start there were so many great clubs but my favorite was Club Hollywood after it was Club Better Days, than the best club in the world was Paradise Garage. This was a club that you had all kinds of dancing, you were able to dance from 12 Midnight to 12 noon. There was Ice Palace that we would go about 6pm after the fountain that was in central park and we would dance outside on bricks every Sunday. We also had fun at Club Inferno and Club Disco Crisco. My favorite dance studio was Alexis Dance studio that was on 86th street and Broadway that was the start of Monday night dancing way before Dance sport. David Padilla ......................................... Hi Ron, I've been reading the letters everyone has been sending on the Dance Clubs that impacted their lives. Well ,The most extravagant & amazing Dance Club I've ever been to was the "LimeLight" in Atlanta Georgia. I was visiting a friend going to college there in 1980. It was like being in Las Vegas. I have never seen such a spectacle of dazzling decor, sound, music,dancing and staging. As you walk up the soring stair case they had people dressed in glamorous1920's clothing frozen like manikins positioned on display ledges on the wall & staircase. As you entered the main room they had women in mermaid swimsuits encased in plastic bubbles filled with water moving across the ceiling on a cable system. I wondered ...how are they breathing? They had a magician on stage doing magic acts, people in cages hanging from the ceiling dancing & hustling with each other. The lighting was a show onto itself. As the club got more crowded walls would open up to make the space larger until it was the size of a football field ( at least). I had the rare opportunity to see where all the magic happens. My friend knew the DJ and took me to the DJ booth and control room. I was blown away when I walked in. It was huge! half the room was lined with electronic panels that controlled all the special effects.It was like being in a space ship. The DJ had a tremendous capsule surrounded by his vinyl records & lighting. It took the DJ and three other guys to work the lighting effects alone. They had a lounge & kitchen up there much larger than my house. The view from the top of the ceiling height where the DJ stood was astounding. It was an amazing experience to witness. I'll never forget Donna DeSimone ......................................... Hi Ron, My favorite disco dance clubs were Epanema, Alexis dance studio, Soap Factory, and of course Roseland, my favorite favorite club specially when they would circle around you to watch you dance and with different partners. I walk in one time and "Its Over" by Alma Faye was playing, I would wear wide skirts so my partners could spin me around. People would give you plenty of room. Also Barney Googles, Mariposa, Starship, Xenon, Ice Palace, and a small club called Hocus Pocus in Jersey City too. Minnie Ruiz ......................................... Hi Ron, 1) Big Daddy's 135th, North Miami, Florida 2) Limelight, Hallandale, Florida 3) Honey for the Bears, Coconut Grove, Florida Drew Axelrod ......................................... There were soooo many clubs in those days and being a dance instructor and not having regular business hours, my colleagues and I were out EVERY night dancing and it was such a great time to be young. On Long Island, we loved getting dressed up and going to Decameron's. It was a true supper club. My party at IL Campanello is the closest thing to that these days. There was Uncle Sam's and the Feathers every week. Zachary's, but I think it was called something else in those days. Also, a place called 231 but there were lots more. In Queens, I loved the Lemon Tree. In NYC, I went to Ipanema, of course, Studio 54 and the gay bar, Starship on 57th Street where I remember getting a kick out of sitting there next to Grace Jones watching the dancers. Then there were the big warehouse clubs for 'after hour' dancing. We were dancing fools and they were crazy times and I am thankful for making it through them alive and to have such wonderful memories to reminisce about. Lori Brizzi ......................................... The most memorable places to dance in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 70's: Maxwells, B - Street, Silks, Tingles, Dance Your Ass Off, Studio West and Trocadero Transfer. The most memorable for me go to Maxwells for it's lighted disco floor and Tingles for it's elegance, where such notables as Jack LaLanne would frequent. All were hot with weekly dance competitions. These were the days when we would dance 7 nights a week, 4 to 6 hours per night. Where you would dance to 15 to 20 min. continues mix songs, of which you would sit 1 or 2 songs in the night. Where you were allowed to be creative; you where allowed to dress the part of a dancer; you were allowed to play a roll on the dance floor. It was customary to share and exchange ideas, to compete with different ideas rather than different styles of the same idea. It was a new dance and though you all had the same basic foundation, when you were creating from different locations and didn't have the same access to ideas; when competitors hit the stage, there was more excitement and exchanges of ideas; and it generated more diversity and excitement with the dancers as they mixed there dancing ideas and skills on the dance floor.
