Disco Step-by-Step
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disco Step-by-Step was a local television show in Buffalo, New York which featured disco music, dance instruction, and hustle dancing. The show's creator was Marty Angelo, who was also was producer and its first host.
Taped during 1975 and 1976, the show was seen on local access cable channels in Buffalo and western New York State from January 1, 1977 to June 30, 1977; the program was shot in black and white, given the technology and equipment available to Angelo.
On September 23, 1977, the show moved to WIVB, where the show saw various technical improvements, including color. The show's host changed with the move, with the duties now passed to Kevin O'Connell, who at the time was also WIVB's weatherman. The program ran in the form of first-run and repeat telecasts on WIVB until January 15, 1980.
Various video clips of the show were featured in 2005 in the Experience Music Project's travelling disco exhibit, a VH1 television disco special, and a DVD disco documentary.
