Every second Saturday of August is known in the city centre of Bruges as the most beautiful night of the city! 'Ballroom Brugeoise' called in the local dialect 'Benenwerk' challenges you to bring out the best dancer in you! Spread over eleven ballrooms through downtown, live bands and DJs provide the athmosphere and music for a dance marathon. The edition of 2016 on Saturdaynight 13th of August was again a succes. A tip for next season! Book your accomodation in time.

Immerse yourself in the vintage retro feel of the Modern Stage, or enjoy the beats of Clubbin 'Stage. Are you totally into disco? go free on disco classics like "Disco Inferno" and "I Will Survive." Or do you feel more passion for A tango? Dancing with yourself on the Silent Disco? Or do you prefer hot 'n' sweaty with two tropical dance floors of Latino Stage in the city park? Glitter, feathers and sexy showgirls provide retro entertainment and burlesque performances that will undoubtedly seduce the silent recipient ... Benenwerk is the summer party where really everybody will be satisfied!

People who want to improve their technique (or lack thereof) can go for dance initiations in the different ballrooms who help them in various dance styles.

The event is a co production of the city of Bruges and Stricto tempo in collaboration with the Cactus Music centre that is also organising the Cactus Festival in early July, known as one of the best small festivals of Europe.
