Twister Dance Sande: After the fire drama, now the big reopening!

Twister Dance Sande: After the fire drama, now the big reopening!

Today is a very special day for the disco fans in Sande! After almost two years of waiting, the iconic “Twister Dance” is finally opening its doors again. The club, which has been a popular address for unforgettable nights for around 25 years, had to close in 2023 due to a devastating fire. This fire, caused by a technical defect, resulted in the entire building being completely destroyed on the night of November 21st to 22nd. The damage is estimated at several hundred thousand euros, while the entire inventory was uninsured, bringing another old “cash register” to a standstill.

The return of the “Twister Dance” began with a major reconstruction project that spanned around a year and a half. Mayor Stephan Eiklenborg emphasized how badly the fire affected the community and how important the traditional disco is for the Frisian population. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, over 23,000 euros were collected to support the reconstruction. Further funds were raised through a charity football tournament, which also received strong support from the local population. Crowdfunding, a popular method for financing projects, has proven to be an essential tool for raising the necessary funds. The idea behind crowdfunding is simple: many people come together to finance a common goal, thereby giving the project a real boost. The Statista platform, which has already presented many successful projects, offers more information on this.

The comeback in a modern guise

The new “Twister Dance” building is being designed as Germany’s most modern large-scale discotheque. Over 150 concrete piles have already been driven into the ground for the new hall, and the interior construction promises modern lighting and sound technology as well as new safety standards. The familiar rotating dance floor from the old club has also made it into the new concept, strengthening the nostalgic connection to the past. Preparations for the official start of construction were completed in July 2024 and the completion date is now within reach.

The expectations for the opening are high, and the large pre-opening party for invited guests, which took place on Friday, September 26th, was all the more certain. But the real spectacle is still to come: the big opening party for everyone is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025. Advance ticket sales for the first parties began on September 14th, and the anticipation among the club's fans is clearly noticeable.

With the comeback of the “Twister Dance” not only is a popular venue returning, but also a piece of leisure culture that brings the citizens of Sande, Friesland and the surrounding area together. The revival of this place is not only a reason to celebrate, but also a strong sign of the community that has supported each other through difficult times.

So it will be exciting to see what exciting nights and unforgettable memories the new “Twister Dance” has in store. We wish you a lot of joy for the next celebrations and are sure that this place will soon be in the heart of many celebrations again!
