Rolling skating has been around since the 1700s & grew moderately into the 50’s & 60’s as being a fun indoor activity. It wasn’t until the 70’s when the roller disco craze emerged which catapulted its popularity to record heights. It was the alternative destination for partying and meeting dates, offering guests the same disco music within a more settling environment from the discotheque hustle. Although disco faded in the 80’s, roller shaking continued on in popularity & today is recognized as one of the safest recreational activities for folks of all ages. Some fitness buffs claim roller skating creates less impact on the joints compared to jogging & burns some 500 calories per hour. Many thanks to you for listening and to the 8tracks Team for making this all possible. Enjoy the music!
