1983! New York’s hottest club is Danceteria. It’s got everything: Video games, Klaus Nomi, breakdancing, New Order, 12” singles…
Here’s a complete 1983 episode of the public access television show, New York Dance Stand, filmed at the famous Danceteria club.
You should watch the entire thing, but if you’re in a hurry, you can skip to “Blue Monday” in the couples dance competition at the 20:10 mark.
