Sustainability in Culture! The Sustainable Dance Floor™ is the first dance floor that captures the energy of dancing. The energy produced by movement is converted into electricity that is used to make the dance floor react to the dancer in an interactive way. The floor provides a unique visual experience on every energy level, from 'loading' and 'average', to the maximum level of the evening: 'ultimate high'! All visuals are a continuous real-time interaction between the clubbers on the floor, allowing every individual's actions to contribute to the collective experience.
