Düsseldorf Airport Announces: 20,000 Attended Massive Dance Event in Duesseldorf Airport Terminal on June 7
Düsseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) June 12, 2015 -- DUS terminal was once again the location of a major European dance event and show on June 7, 2015. Teeming with both travelers and dance enthusiasts that day, the championship called “TanzTerminal, tanz” (Dance, Terminal, Dance) brought 20,000 additional visitors and 5 dance floors to the busy airport terminal. The dance event has taken place at DUS six times so far and is also part of a monthly DUS series of public interactive events called “Airlebnis” (air event experience), with themes in many different categories, including sports and family entertainment. The wide acceptance of these events at DUS reflects the ever-growing evolution of DUS and other airport terminals as spaces of experience beyond travel, shopping and food.
“Dance, Terminal, Dance” is a comprehensive all-day event (11:00 am to 6:00 pm) free to all visitors. The last event included a Latin Dance championship in which professional dancers competed for the “Düsseldorf Airport Cup.” Another part was a dance showcase with stars of the current season of the TV Show “Let’s Dance.” Last Sunday featured audience favorites: couples Minh-Khai Phan-Thi/Massimo Sinató and Enissa Amani/Christian Polanc. Performances took place on one main dance floor and 4 smaller floors. Headliners included Australian step group “Tap Dogs,” children’s dance group “Rejoice” and current Discofox world champions Martha Wermann and Igor Pokasenew.
Moreover, visitors were invited to participate. Workshops in various dance styles included cha-cha, waltz, hip hop, rock ’n’ roll, and the current popular dances Bachata, Dirty Dancing Discofox, and West Coast Swing. A new interactive feature for visitors was the first Discofox Championship, and the three winning couples received gift cards for the airport’s extensive shopping area.
The monthly DUS public terminal events feature a variety of themes and attractions, but DUS arranges the following features at most of its “Airlebnis” days: Behind-the-scenes airport tours, airport scanvenger hunts, sweepstakes, child care, parking specials, and Sunday shopping in the airport’s 60+ stores, restaurants, and bars.
