Club Daneing

Like to let off a little steam and shake your booty on the dance floor? Keep shaking it sister, dancing is one of the best full body, no-equipment-needed, sweat-dripping, calorie-blasting, slim body-making, naturally green exercises (not to mention the fun factor).

Obviously the workout can do wonders for the body. But what we love about dance is that it's a green exercise. Think about—no electricity-powered cardio machine, no bulky weight contraption, not even a special outfit is needed. Dance naked if you'd like or in your skivvies like Tom Cruise in Risky Business! It's a completely person-powered workout. All you need is music, which can easily be pumped through your ipod, or for the really daring—dance to the beat in your head or belt it out if you want. Rhythm, skill, music or not, dancing is an easy green exercise that is guarenteed to get your body in shape. And the great thing is, it's so much fun it hardly feels like exercise!

It’s probably safe to say that few of us have used the phrases “dance club” and “renewable energy” in the same sentence. Enter the Sustainable Dance Club, a downright awesome project that turns fancy footwork into kilowatts to power the club’s basic utilities. The brainchild of environmental organization Enviu and Dutch architectural firm Döll, the Sustainable Dance Club project launched with a party called The Critical Mass last October in Rotterdam. So next time you’re out dancing with friends, don’t forget that all that booty shaking could be providing power for the club’s lights, speakers, and more. Check out the video to see just how the technology works.
