Slow Dance CluB
Los Super Elegantes & assume vivid astro focus
'Last February we were driving through the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and passed by a MacDonald's. All of a sudden we saw a group of people dancing like crazy towards the back of the fast food joint which indeed seemed natural. People were on top of the tables wearing bikinis and feathers on their heads. We realized that it was a kid's birthday party but all the parents were going wild along with the kids. Even though the setting wasn't conducive to dancing, people's will to have fun changed the space that they were in and a new experience was allowed to happen...
The Slow Dance Club will consist of a room for people to get together and dance to romantic music. Los Super Elegantes will DJ sets throughout the day and will be looking for potential partners to dance with: to create momentary intimacy between strangers. The club will facilitate a release of emotions similar to those happening at the fair: desperation, falling in lust, obsession with the object, flirting, and you can imagine the rest. People can leave asking each other: Did you get lucky at the fair?'
