"Roller Disco"
(Season 3; Airdate: November 14, 2000)
Synopsis
Jackie asks Hyde to participate in the Roller Disco with her. When he refuses, she takes the unlikely Fez up on his offer. To her surprise, Fez turns out to be a talented dancer, winning first place for them.
Analysis
Though individually these two episodes seem insignificant, they do emphasize the leisure of disco dancing. The activity became popular due to teenage acceptance of what it stood for- freedom to live. Many of the disco-goers supported gays and minority ideals. It was actually created in response to the growing popularity of rock and roll (and associated lifestyle.) The kids seem to take much enjoyment out of visiting the roller disco because they themselves are unsure of what they really represent as individuals. Also, they enbrace the idea of freedom, and just want to have fun.
