"Discothèque" became used in French for a type of nightclub in Paris, after they had resorted to playing records during the Nazi occupation in the early 1940s.

At first, many dancers improvised their own dance styles and dance steps. Later in the disco era, popular dance styles were developed, including the "Bump", "Penguin", "Boogaloo", "Watergate", and "Robot". By October 1975 <a href="/wiki/Hustle_(dance)" title="Hustle (dance)">the Hustle</a> reigned. It was highly stylized, sophisticated, and overtly sexual.

Some cities had disco dance instructors or dance schools, which taught people how to do popular disco dances such as "touch dancing", "the hustle", and "<a href="/wiki/Cha-cha-cha_(dance)" title="Cha-cha-cha (dance)">the cha cha</a>". The pioneer of disco dance instruction was Karen Lustgarten in San Francisco in 1973. Her book <i>The Complete Guide to Disco Dancing</i> (Warner Books 1978) was the first to name, break down and codify popular disco dances as dance forms and distinguish between disco freestyle, partner, and line dances. The book topped the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller list for 13 weeks and was translated into Chinese, German, and French. </p><p>In Chicago, the <i>Step By Step</i> disco dance TV show was launched with the sponsorship support of the Coca-Cola company. Produced in the same studio that <a href="/wiki/Don_Cornelius" title="Don Cornelius">Don Cornelius</a> used for the nationally syndicated dance/music television show, <i><a href="/wiki/Soul_Train" title="Soul Train">Soul Train</a></i>, <i>Step by Step'</i>s audience grew and the show became a success. The dynamic dance duo of Robin and Reggie led the show. The pair spent the week teaching disco dancing to dancers in the disco clubs. The instructional show aired on Saturday mornings and had a strong following. Its viewers would stay up all night on Fridays so they could be on the set the next morning, ready to return to the disco on Saturday night knowing with the latest personalized steps. The producers of the show, John Reid and Greg Roselli, routinely made appearances at disco functions with Robin and Reggie to scout out new dancing talent and promote upcoming events such as "Disco Night at White Sox Park". </p><p>In Sacramento, California, Disco King Paul Dale Roberts danced for the Guinness Book of World Records. He danced for 205 hours, the equivalent of 8½ days. Other dance marathons took place afterward and Roberts held the world record for disco dancing for a short period of time.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some notable professional dance troupes of the 1970s included <a href="/wiki/Pan%27s_People" title="Pan's People">Pan's People</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hot_Gossip" title="Hot Gossip">Hot Gossip</a>.

DJing developed from the use of multiple record turntables and <a href="/wiki/DJ_mixer" title="DJ mixer">DJ mixers</a> to create a continuous, seamless mix of songs, with one song transitioning to another with no break in the music to interrupt the dancing. The resulting <a href="/wiki/DJ_mix" title="DJ mix">DJ mix</a> differed from previous forms of dance music in the 1960s, which were oriented towards live performances by musicians. It, in turn, affected the arrangement of dance music, since songs in the disco era typically contained beginnings and endings marked by a simple beat or riff that could be easily used to transition to a new song. The development of DJing was also influenced by new <a href="/wiki/Turntablism" title="Turntablism">turntablism</a> techniques, such as <a href="/wiki/Beatmatching" title="Beatmatching">beatmatching</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scratching" title="Scratching">scratching</a>, a process facilitated by the introduction of new turntable technologies such as the <a href="/wiki/Technics_SL-1200" title="Technics SL-1200">Technics SL-1200 MK 2</a>, first sold in 1978, which had a precise variable <a href="/wiki/Pitch_control" title="Pitch control">pitch control</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Direct_drive" class="mw-redirect" title="Direct drive">direct drive</a> motor.
