Outdoor dance floors and preparation for summer
In summer, the dance scene in Hanover moves from the studios to the outdoors. While parquet floors and air conditioning dominate indoors, pavilions, river promenades, and park areas require a completely different kind of preparation: The right shoe makes all the difference for your joints. On concrete, paving, or wooden planks, fine suede soles are ruined in just a few minutes. Dance shoes with robust leather soles, sneakers with a pivot point, or special dance sneakers cushion your steps and allow for smooth turns without getting stuck on uneven surfaces.
Typical for going dancing in Hanover under the open sky is the spontaneous dynamic. Almost all open-air dance evenings are organized on a voluntary basis by local clubs or dedicated dancers from the Hanoverian dance scene. Therefore, always bring a second shirt, enough water, and some small change for the DJs' donation box. If you are new in town or still looking for the right companion, you can easily make new contacts via udansa or explore the riverbanks and parks together with dance partners in Hanover.
