The DiscOasis, a Sparkly Throwback

New York’s roller discos may have dwindled since the Koch era, but this summer a sparkly throwback called the DiscOasis has materialized at Central Park’s Wollman Rink, complete with mirror balls and Donna Summer anthems. Lorded over by the disco-funk veteran Nile Rodgers, who curated the music, the roller rink welcomes both tentative date-nighters and seasoned skaters (such as Harry Gaskin, above), with interspersed dance routines by a cast of thirteen, through Oct. 2. Neon-bright attire encouraged.
