Dancing in the... Airport?
August 14, 2008
Posted by: Carol
"To keep tempers cool and spirits high this year, the Aeroports de Paris implemented an unconventional plan: free dance lessons for passengers," according to Springwise.
"Summertime passengers can use their wait time at the airport to learn any one of 15 dances offered by the airport's resident trainers, including Afro Jazz, Disco, Hip Hop, Mambo, Modern Jazz, Rock & Roll, Salsa, Samba, Tango, Cha-Cha and more. Music and trainer instructions are broadcast through cordless headsets so as to minimize the disturbance to other passengers, and lessons last 10 to 15 minutes each. At Paris-Orly, they take place on a dance floor in terminal South at boarding gate 17, with roving workshops also available in the boarding area at Paris-Orly West. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, the dance floor is located in terminal 2E, gate E51, with itinerant workshops in Terminals 3 and 2F. Dance floors were designed by the Aeroports de Paris boutiques."
Alas, classes end August 17. What a shame. I wish Chicago would move its SummerDance classes to O'Hare to fill the time during winter delays.
