This 1979 music video by the Nick Straker Band captures a vibrant roller disco performance. Dancers in tight leotards, shorts, and protective gear execute synchronized routines on skates amid colorful lights and fog. The energetic choreography blends skating glides, spins, and jazz-funk moves on a checkered rink.
