Despite the law that turns the famous coffeeshops into private clubs throughout the Netherlands with restrictive measures on the sale of marijuana, despite the threat of having the Red Light District closed to nonresidents, despite regulations on all areas of this mythical city, a flagship of freedom and limitless subversiveness, Amsterdam still retains the spirit of protest inherited from the Flower Power Revolution of 1968. Although sites where to exercise their particular way of libertarian life are reduced, in the capital of Holland places to have fun and listen to music and dance still exist. One such place is The Daisy Age with the programed parties by Bitterzoet .
So what is The Daisy Age? In essence, a nightclub centered on that street dance born in the eighties and named “dance floor”. From the streets of New York, urban tribes disenchanted with the system, and at the same benefiting from the recesses of it, began to express themselves with a type of dance, halfway between gymnastics and dancing, with its emphasis on acrobatics that can be performed on the floor. Those who have reached forty know what exactly I´m talking about. Younger people have seen this type of dance only in movies of that time. “Dance floor” runs parallel to techno, electronic music and mixes created by in fashion DJs . The musical experiments began at the same time youth was born and raised in the benefits of a capitalist development, being expressed personally and even individualistically.
