is roller disco the new ballroom dance this year?
javalava85 asked:
ballroom dancing was once a guilty pleasure in ‘05. it seems now this year pop music has influenced the comeback of rollerskating from music videos. madonna and jessica simpson helped revive this fad straight out from the 80s. they are not the only two that are sporting this fad. the pink spiders and under the influence of giants who are both pop/rock groups also have people rollerskating in their videos. the music sounds great and it collaborates well with this revival of rollerskating.

When I read the headline, my gut reaction was to answer no, but after reading your details and thinking it about something I think you are on to something. So my answer is yes.

I think the roller disco thing is just a temporary hiccup. If you go to the London site, you will see it hasn’t been updated since March of 2004:
As much as I appreciate Madonna, these were not the best revues I’ve seen of her work, this is from the May 22, 2006 concert: Some of the comments from the site didn’t even mention the roller-disco.
Her July 13, 2006 concert makes no mention of roller-disco.
I couldn’t find anything for Jessica Simpson other than the video you mentioned.
No, I don’t think so, not enough people are picking up on the fad. It is a good try though, because of all the in-line skaters out there. Roller Disco so far is a semi-popular activity for pre-teens and teen birthday parties.

I think roller skating has always been in and hasn’t replaced ballroom! So yea it has become poplar but just cause its in a jessica simpson video and couple other doesn’t mean their more pop.I think evr sence 70’s hip hop has been pop. and it has influinces rollerskating evn the 60’s 2!
