Dancing for the Future

Have you heard of Sustainable Dance Club? The company creates dance clubs around the world that are powered by green technology and embrace eco-friendly trends. The coolest part is that the dance floor itself generates electricity: the more people dance, the more energy is produced–and that's used to power the club.

It started in the Netherlands, in the city of Rotterdam back in 2006. A company called Enviu teamed up with an architecture firm called Döll to launch their first sustainable dance night in a club called Off_Corso. It was such a big hit that they started exporting their idea to other clubs and other cities…and now other countries, too. There are even mini-dance floors and other new, innovative products.

Have you ever been to a sustainable dance floor? Would this idea work in your hometown?
