I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where dancers go' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'in galliard is contrariwise' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DISCO' can be found hidden inside 'galliard is contrariwise'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disco that I've seen before include "'Genre of dance music, popular in the 1970s (5)'" , "Party with music" , "1970s' musical genre" , "Doc is dancing here" , "Musical party" .)
