The legacy of “Saturday Night Fever” is stayin’ alive, as the dance floor featured in the classic disco movie is [set to fetch as much as $300,000 at auction next month](https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/style/saturday-night-fever-dancefloor-auction-intl-scli/index.html).
With its flashing colorful lights, the dance floor provided the perfect backdrop for John Travolta’s character, Tony Manero, to flaunt his now-iconic groovy dance moves in his white shirt. Now, almost 50 years later, it is the star lot in the “Hollywood Legends” sale, to be held by Julien’s Auctions on June 12-15 in Los Angeles and online.
The dance floor measures more than 24 feet long and 16 feet wide (around 7 meters by 5 meters), and features 288 lightbulbs to create the flashing patterns, Julien’s Auctions said in its listing.
It was made for the movie and fitted at the 2001 Odyssey Disco in Brooklyn, New York, where many of the scenes were set and filmed. After filming wrapped, the dance floor stayed at the club until it closed down, when it was bought by an employee.
