Taunus Disco – Dancing in the station for the over 40s
September 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment
When the station in Oberursel re-opened in May, a new event was created: the Taunus Disco. The disco is aimed at the over 40s in the town and was held for the first time in June this year, with the music a mixture of a groove, jazz, latin, house and contemporary music, all put together by DJ Param. And even if I don’t technically qualify for the age group (yet!), this month I went along to take a look.
Getting there is not a problem, neither is finding somewhere to park on a Saturday night because there is a large car park next to the station itself. But then being at the station means that there are other ways of getting there, as the S-Bahn and U-Bahn run until the early hours of the morning.
When I arrived it had already turned dark and the station building was lit up, with a purple glow coming from the main ballroom windows. The disco itself is held in the part of the building normally used by the dance school (Pritzer), but the organisers stress that it is not a dance school event. [Read more…]
