It's Not the Roaring Twenties; Get Your Disco Groove on with Niles Rodger's DiscOasis in South Coast Botanical Gardens, Good Times for a Good Cause, "We Are Family" Foundation.

 By Laura Medina

Sensing the world needs to let loose and celebrate life that now includes diversity and inclusivity,  legendary Chic member and producer, Nile Rodgers, with help from old pal, Madonna, he picked the spacious but under-appreciated, lush gem of South Coast Botanical Gardens in Torrance/Rolling Hills Estates/Palo Verdes, just below LAX, to host his dream roller disco rink for the whole month of August then it disappears on Labor Day.

His DiscOasis is an oasis of good times, giving anyone and everyone the creative release to fly "your freak flag." In this day and age, it's no longer "freak."  It's the unique real you in the rainbow spectrum.

DiscOasis is a magical theme park where guests are greeted by performers representing the Hippie Sixties, Seventies Disco, and "Like a Virgin" Madonna Eigthties.

Then, this magical theme park greets them...

Breathing in the open, fresh air and the space for freedom to get your boogie down, with letting it all out and loose and hanging, getting your boogie down as exercise. The happies of the Seventies are back.

Every Sunday night is fun night, Those are the nights that legendary DJs play guest host DJs.  This night was the legendary DJ, Grandmaster Flash.

Convinced by his friend, Nile Rodgers, Grandmaster Flash flew the overnight red eye, landed in LA at 6:30 am then spent the whole day Sunday just get Angelenos to shake their booties for just one night then he's jump back on 11:30pm overnight flight back to NYC.

In one night, in three, non-stop, hand-raising, fist-pumping hours, Grandmaster Flash played his Eighties classics, mixed in with Guns N' Roses and the White Stripes!

There's more to DiscOasis than legendary DJs.

DiscOasis has their roller-skating dance troupe that do classic Disco Waltz dancing.

Ah, the golden age of disco.

There's more to DiscOasis than a dream of a roller rink and a flashing concert stage.

There's a souvenir merchandise tent.  Always two food trucks. Two bars. An vintage video arcade. A VIP area and yes, restrooms.

Even Sunday nights are DJ nights, Tuesday to Saturday nights are great date nights. Get an hint.

Remember, there's "oasis" in it's name for a reason.

Like a disco mirage, it's meant to be temporary.

By Labor Day, all this will be a memory.

If there's anything that quarantine taught us, is to never take any moment for granted.

With Andy Warhol Photo Party, this scribe is having a Seventies/Eighties moment.
