Man, I remember when the movie Saturday Night Fever burst into the screen. It put the Disco era in full swing. People were packing Discotheques just to be seen. I also remember how everybody wanted to be John Travolta back then. They especially wanted to dance the way he did. For me, the high point of this movie was went he did a solo dance to the song "You Should Be Dancing" by The Bee Gees.
I remember this was the scene where the dancers cleared the floor and John started to do his thing on the dance floor. Once he started, it was hard not to watch his routine. The man moved gracefully on the floor and did splits that would put a martial artist to shame. Because of that my two brothers often tried their best to be limber just so to imitate what he did. What a crazy time that was!
Well these days, when you go to a dance club, it's more about hip hop. People these days dance like they've been possessed by the devil. They don't have grace that people had back then. These days you'd see moves like that in a sausage bar. Still, you have to admit when John did it, everybody watched. To this day, people still ask him if he can still dance and dance he still could.
