Impromptu Unicorn dance party at the Emerald City Comicon!

The World’s Largest Disco is an annual event held at the Buffalo Convention Center in Buffalo, New York each year the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The event, widely popular in the area, is a tribute to the disco era and features live performances by 1970s-era musicians, along with dancers dressed in 1970s attire. 

The current event began as an annual occurrence in 1994, but it traces its history and name to a disco held in Buffalo in 1979, featuring The Trammps and Gloria Gaynor. That disco is marked in Guinness World Records as the largest disco in the history, with 13,000 people in attendance. The current incarnation of the event draws 7,000, though this is only because of capacity issues. Tickets for the event regularly sell out within minutes of being put on sale, which usually occurs in early August. The event is a charity fundraiser held by Conesus Fest for Charity to raise funds for Camp Good Days and Special Times, a summer camp for children with cancer.

This is awesome, it’s Saturday Nut Fever! “A [woefully naked] red squirrel seems to be strutting its stuff on the dance floor. Award-winning wildlife photographer Mark Hancox captured the shot in the Cairngorms in Scotland two weeks ago. Mark, from Dorset, waited for three hours in a specially-built hide for three hours before catching the grooving animal in the act. He said: It was hilarious, it was quite a windy day and it looked like the squirrel was trying to catch nuts as they fell from a tree. As he bobbed up and down on his hind legs he suddenly appeared to dance. He really looked like John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever.”

Photographer Steven Kazlowski spotted this awesome polar bear on the edge of the Bernard Spit in Alaska. While the young bear was simply trying to keep his balance, this wonderful series of photos makes it appear that he was actually doing his best impression of John Travolta working the disco floor in Saturday Night Fever. After this all that’s left to do is a good long strut.

Drew Mokris of Spinnerdisc shows us what it might look like if a snake did the worm. It’s not breakdancing, it’s snakedancing!

Speaking of Spinnerdisc, thanks to our friend Leonie, we just learned that Drew Mokris is also responsible for the frolicking Stegosaurus gif we posted back in June.

This entire painting is wonderful, but we’re particularly taken by the anthropomorphic energetic dancing peanut. That little guy has got some sweet moves.
