Pictures must credit: Julien’s Auctions
The iconic dance floor used by John Travolta on the hit disco movie Saturday Night Fever has sold for $325,000 USD at auction.
The dance floor was custom-made for the 2001 Odyssey Disco in Brooklyn, New York at a cost of $15,000 USD / €14.000 euros in 1977 for the production of the film.
It remained there until the club finally closed its doors in 2005.
It was where Travolta’s character Tony Manero and the cast strutted their stuff for the film which carried an unforgettable soundtrack mostly written and performed by the Bee Gees.
The base was a wooden frame divided into twelve separate sections.
Each section contained twenty-four illuminating bulbs making 288 in total.
The illuminated patterns were controlled by a NESS CL-2400 light control centre.
Fully assembled, the dance floor measured over eight metres long and five metres.
When the Odyssey club shut, one of its employees, Vito Bruno, purchased it.
It was was featured in the production of the season three episode Saturday Night Glee-ve" in television in 2012 TV series Glee.
Included with the dance floor were the original acrylic panels used during the production of Saturday Night Fever, as well as modern acrylic panels that were created for the Glee episode.
Saturday Night Fever made a superstar of Travolta , who was aged 23 when he made it, with his character known for his white suit and dance moves during the late 70s disco boom.
The floor was sold by US saleroom Julian's Auctions and had a pre-sale estimate of $300,000 USD / €280.500 euros.
OPS: Video grab of the floor in a scene from the movie.

'Thekla runs a tight ship': Bristol's floating venue marks 40 years at dock
Vessel which has hosted acts from Pulp to Stormzy to celebrate anniversary with series of shows, exhibition and book.
It started life as a cargo ship transporting timber around the Baltic Sea, but for the last four decades it has been moored in the Mud Dock area of Bristol's floating harbour, hosting music acts from Pulp to Stormzy, helping launch the city's drum'n'bass and trip-hop scenes and providing a bobbing canvas for the street artist Banksy.
Thekla, one of south-west England's most beloved and vibrant venues, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this week with a series of shows, an exhibition and the publication of a book marking the ups and downs.
Thekla in Bristol celebrates it's 40th anniversary, with historical photos displayed throughout and a new book to mark the occasion. 1 May 2024

The mind-bending acid house tour of London
George Georgiou gave British rave culture its smiley face. Now he's placing plaques where hardcore clubbers sweated till dawn. Join the designer - and DJs Danny Rampling and Nicky Holloway - on a face-melting trip.
In the 80s and 90s, Georgiou shaped the aesthetic of much of London's underground dance nightlife. As well as flyers he designed membership cards, logos, posters, banners - entire nightclub aesthetics.
Georgiou has meticulously archived his work, and a lot of it is about to be turned into NFTs.
Doing this trail of London's old rave haunts, the changes to the buildings, and to people's ability to access such spaces to throw such wild parties, feel very pronounced.
George Georgiou seen at the entrance for the club Raw in the basement of the St Giles Hotel in Tottenham Court Road, London. 90s clubland yellow plaques being installed (temporarily) around London on the sites of the old clubs from the 80s and 90s. Artist George Georgiou created the flyers for the events and lays claim to having invented the rave smiley face. 11 April 2024
