Let’s face it, practically everyone wanted to bust a move with John Travolta back in his disco days — even the late Princess Diana was rumored to have requested him for a spin at the White House. And although we lost the keys to the DeLorean to make this time travel happen, Travolta's 1970s moves can be relived at the Gusman Center this Thursday. As part of their Flickin’ Summer movie series, the Olympia Theater will screen Saturday Night Fever, the film that literally put Travolta’s twinkle toes center stage and inspired countless of us to rock bell bottoms, strut down the street, and sing in a high voice. The flick starts rolling at 7 p.m., but happy hour gets underway at 6 p.m., which should help build confidence for the post-screening onstage dance party. But when in doubt, follow these three simple steps: spin, point, repeat.
