Disco Dancin' Lesson Plan

Disco was all about the sparkle, the shine, the glitz and glamor! People loved showing off their disco moves on the light-up dance floor under a sparkling disco ball. Here, we hear the story of three disco acts: a woman, a non-binary person, and a group of brothers who influenced disco pop culture forever.

In this lesson, students use aluminum foil or sparkle scrapbook paper to add a shiny disco ball at the top of their dance floor. Then they get to design groovy outfits and color in their disco dancers.
