From synth-pop sparkle to club bangers and R&B grooves, the dancefloor is always evolving - and these five powerhouse women led the way across three iconic decades as the Top 5 Female Dancefloor Icons. All of these icons will be on our playlist on October 11 at The Big Chill, Kings X, London. 

• MadonnaNo list of dancefloor icons is complete without the Queen of Reinvention. From “Into the Groove” to “Vogue”, “Hung Up” (which samples ABBA’s classic ‘Gimme, Gimme, Gimmee),

  Madonna has dominated every decade with boundary-pushing hits and incredible stage presence.

• Janet JacksonWith killer choreography and hits like “Rhythm Nation” and “Together Again”, Janet brought socially conscious messages to the club with her sassy style and killer precision. Remember trying to copy these dances with your friends?!

• Whitney HoustonHer voice lit up dancefloors in the ’80s and ’90s. Tracks like “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” and “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay” (Thunderpuss Remix) became instant club classics.

• BeyoncéRising in the late ’90s with Destiny’s Child and slaying solo in the 2000s, Bey gave us empowerment anthems that guarantee to fill dancefloors - from “Crazy in Love” to “Single Ladies” and of course a Disco Sisters anthem “Run The World (Girls)”.

• Kylie MinogueThe undisputed princess of pop-disco, Kylie delivers feel-good, floor-filling hits like “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” and “Spinning Around” that will undoubtedly make an appearance at a Disco Sisters night.
