Dance Paradise can trace its roots back to the Hip Hop, breaks and electro days of 1985. But October 28th 1988 saw the true birth of the legend, when a group of kid’s hell bent on throwing the best dam dance parties this side of the stratosphere hired a club in Lowestoft called Ziggies after discovering warehouse parties, Acid House & Balearic Beats!
The party rocked and was followed by more, each larger than before! The following summer (1989 – the summer of love) the team moved to a weekly club in a converted cellar underneath a club in Gt Yarmouth.
By the end of the decade they had taken over the whole building, bringing DJs like Grooverider, Fabio & Top Buzz in as residents.
1990 and Dance Paradise moved to the Ocean Room in Gt Yarmouth where THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE was born with acts like Nexus 21 (Altern8), K Klass and 4 Hero..
Early 1993 saw Dance Paradise arrive at what would become its spiritual home TIFFANYS (now the Arena) on Gt Yarmouth sea front. With acts like The Prodigy, SL2, Shades of Rhythm, Baby D, Guru Josh, Awsome 3, Dream Frequency, NJOI etc Dance Paradise became one of the most respected events in the country.
In 1995 the MULT-E-VENT was born. 1 ticket – 3 venues – 5 events, each showcasing the finest acts from the all musical styles within the dance music scene.
1996 saw both the release of ‘RUSHTRIA’ the Dance Paradise album and the last true Dance Paradise event…
UNTIL NOW!
On the 24th November 2007 from 8pm – 4am, almost 12 years to the day since the last MULT-E-VENT, Dance Paradise returns to its spiritual home to bring you DANCE PARADISE – THE REUNION 4 rooms, 9 hours, over 30 acts and 1 million rushes. Once more Dance Paradise has pulled out all the stops as we once again transform The Arena (formerly Tiffanys) into the ULTIMATE DANCE ENVIRONMENT;
