An illuminated dance floor, LED dance floor or disco dance floor is a floor with panels (tiles) which light up with different colors. They are used for dance. They were popularized for disco by the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever which it had gotten inspiration from a floor the director of the movie had seen at “The Club”, a private supper club in Birmingham, Alabama.
Early illuminated floors date back to the 1950’s. They consisted of translucent colored glass panels lit from below by bulbs.
