It was 2015….nearing the end of the summer….
It was rumored that the digital age had made its people sedentary, listless, and apathetic….that humans were better off as computers….  The broadcasters thought they had the population wrapped around their giant antennas, painting horrific pictures of fear and foolishness all over the world….

It wasn’t until a thousand years later, tucked away in a fireproof box along with remnants of pine cones, love letters, and disco balls,
that the discovery of Dance Party TV Videotape #1 uncovered the true nature of that time:

An era that was Soulful, Unapologetic, and Glowing.

An age full of people who were engaged, conscious, and connected….with incredible outfits….and danced like there was no tomorrow.

It was commonly understood that if it hadn’t been for this tape, future generations may have never known, just how lovely…it could be.
