Disco days are coming back to the Rapids Theatre
The Rapids Theatre will revisit Studio 54 with its first-ever disco dance party on May 21.
“I want to really get people from Niagara Falls and surrounding areas to check out the Rapids Theatre and check out downtown Niagara Falls,” said Dan DeGoski, producer and DJ of Studio 54 Revisited.
The Rapids Theatre is the perfect venue for this type of party because it depicts the way Studio 54 was back in the disco era, according to DeGoski.
“Its going to be a very electrifying night,” he said. “People are going to be talking about this party until we hold it again next year.”
If the event takes off, as DeGoski expects it will, he plans on revisiting Studio 54 again next year and turning into a charitable event.
Motivational entertainer Sammy V will act as MC for the event.
“He can make your grandma run the 100 yard dash in seven seconds,” said DeGoski on Sammy’s ability to get the crowd moving.
This is a party all ages can appreciate, he added.
The party will begin at 8 p.m. and DeGoski and Kathy Duff will teach the original “bus stop” dance made famous in the movie Saturday Night Fever at 8:30 p.m.
A $100 prize will be rewarded to the person with the best disco outfit and to the best disco dancer. Admission is $12 and ages 21 and older will be admitted. Tickets will be sold at the Rapids Theatre Box Office and at the door the night of the party.
