In researching about the Sustainable Dance Club concept, I discovered an article by Inhabitat about a series of dance club installations in Germany and Spain called Kubik.  These temporary dance club venues were outdoor installations created by lighting up reclaimed industrial tanks and fusing them into a melding of architecture, music, and lighting.

You definitely need to check out the project pages - Kubik had installations in Berlin, Barcelona, and Lisbon.  These were all “green” (environmentally friendly) and temporary, and apparently a big hit.

Inhabitat has an article about the first Sustainable Dance Club that opened in Rotterdam, called Club Watt.  Club Watt features an LED dance floor that is powered by the kinetic energy the dancers generate, and has other

elements of sustainability set forth by the Sustainable Dance Club group.

How does a dance club become a part of this group?

To qualify as a Sustainable Dance Club™ your club must reach a certain level of sustainability as defined by the 5 SDC™ guidelines:
- 30% less environmental impact than average clubs
- Sustainability integrated in both building and organisation
- Installation of 3 SDC™ spectaculars that show sustainability to the public (Sustainable Dance Floor, Zero Waste Bar, Waterwall)
- Communication plan on how to inform the public about sustainability
- Sustainable business plan with yearly targets and evaluation
