ELLA TIGHE

Disco Queen is inspired by the high-speed full throttle world of competitive disco freestyle, a form of dance born out of the iconic 1970’s film ‘Saturday Night Fever’.

Young people keen to be part of the latest craze and show off their talent would take to dance floors at discos all over the country, and now more than 46,000 dancers are training to compete in this extreme, jaw dropping dance form in village halls and studio.

Join Ella as she takes a trip down memory lane, revisiting the high leg kicks, splits, spins, and gravity defying moves to demystify what’s behind the fake tan, glitter and rhinestones.

Will you cheer on the underdog as she unpacks the raw instinct to compete, retelling the highs and lows of growing up in a hidden world surrounded by strong young women trying to escape their often harsh realities of working class Britain, all in the hope of being crowned a champion, a legend, an icon...a Disco Queen.

Expect a master of speed, disco beats and enduring heats.
