​​

• Dancefloor Detective – Grooving while grilling suspects

​​

✨ Disco Character Behavior Tips:

• Strut, don’t walk. Glide everywhere with hips, flair, and unnecessary finger guns.

• Strike poses. If no one’s watching, pretend they are.

• Talk in dance metaphors. “You stepped on the wrong toes, baby.”

• Refer to everything as “far out,” “solid,” or “a total buzzkill.”

• Stay suspiciously cool under pressure. Disco’s not dead—just hiding something.

Whether you’re staying alive or covering up a crime under the strobes, disco fashion ensures you’ll look fabulous while doing it. Just don’t forget your alibi—or your glitter.
