Social dis-dancing: Dutch people go clubbing post-coronavirus
Social distancing is priority
Dutch youth hit the club on Saturday in one of the country's first attempts to resume night life after the coronavirus outbreak, with social distancing rules still in place.
Afternoon jamming
Clubbers at Doornroosje in the eastern city of Nijmegen booked ahead of time to enjoy short sets of electronic dance music in the afternoon, rather than around midnight, as they used to.
Chair as dancing partner
During the show, the attendees were strictly restricted to chairs.
No standing...yet
Promoter Jonatan Brand said the original plan had been to have the guests dance while standing in place 1.5 meters (5 feet) apart. But local authorities said they had to sit in chairs, at least for now.
Not sold out, but available online
Shows did not sell out, and the event was also streamed online. "It's nice to play actually on a loud volume again, to see some familiar faces," said DJ Davy Brandts.
Maximum capacity of 30
A maximum of 30 guests were allowed in the building at a time. The club plans to expand to 100 in July. The cover charge was 10 euros, including a drink.
