The dance floor that helped to fuel the '70s disco craze goes up for auction on April 1, with bids expected both in a live sale and on the Internet's eBay site.

The 1977 movie earned Travolta an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Tony Manero, a 19-year-old Brooklyn paint-store clerk whose mundane existence is forgotten when he takes to the dance floor every Saturday.

The floor, which has more than 300 colored, flashing lights under a Perspex surface, had been a fixture in the 2001 Odyssey nightclub since the movie was made.
