Sardinia white zone, discos reopened but dancing is forbidden

by admin

The new rules divide the managers of the clubs and the people of the night

SASSARI. “Excuse me, would you like to dance with me?” “Thanks, I prefer not.” After almost sixty years, the verses of Celentano’s famous song could come back into fashion or even become the real refrain of the next nights at the disco. Even if this time to motivate the refusal to dance will be the fear of a reprimand by the bouncer, if not to get a very hefty fine. Because, according to at least the latest government decree regarding the containment of the pandemic, even in the white zone and without any curfew, in the places par excellence dedicated to dancing – whether or not they are outdoors – it will be strictly forbidden to dance. At the most, it is possible to linger over dinner with a louder than usual background music and sway slightly on the spot with your hands pointing to the sky, but always remaining in front of your table, away from the track.

A masterpiece of “Italian solutions” that divides the insiders: on the one hand those who consider it an absurd and hypocritical measure capable of giving the coup de grace to the already agonizing era of the “Saturday night fever”, on the other those who do virtue of necessity by focusing on the trend of the moment called “dinner entertainment“, ie dinner with show included. Among the perplexed there is certainly Piero Muresu, owner of historic nightclubs in Northern Sardinia such as Blu Star and La Siesta, but also president regional Silb, the Syndicate of dance clubs. “We perfectly understand the difficult health situation – he comments on behalf of his associates – but we cannot ignore the economic one: just to talk about the island, after more than a year of restrictions and essentially closures, 80 percent of managers risk throwing away the definitely sponge. There is a lot of talk about Billionaire and similar places – he continues – without thinking that those realities are exceptions and that in Sardinia there are very few places able to set up dinners with shows: the core business is always that of dancing and serving drinks. and cocktails ».

Moral? «We evaluate this government measure as a first step towards a return to normality – concludes Muresu -, but we would have preferred different solutions, such as that of halving the capacity of the premises to allow evenings to be held in absolute safety. Among other things, the fact that unchecked kiosks and disco bars are given free rein makes us feel horned and beaten. ”So far the managers. But how do the deejays, true architects of night entertainment, think? Zeno Pisu, prince of the consul since the seventies, turns up his nose. “Frankly – he says – not letting people dance in dance clubs seems to me a paradoxical decision that does not take into account many factors: for example that, especially in these parts, people arrive at the disco around two in the morning and frankly I find it impossible that someone now chooses to move from a pre-disco bar at that time to find themselves in a very similar situation. I think it is wiser to have the idea of ​​restricting admissions and asking customers for a sort of health pass. ”Definitely more optimistic Fabrizio Solinas, who has also been a deejay for many years. «I believe that the classic disco model has already faded before Covid – he comments – and this may be the right time to regenerate. I noticed that the “dinner entertainment” formula is also very popular with the very young »: the dance floor is transformed into a stage occupied by the club’s dancers, while the customers dance within the perimeter of their table. In many parts of the world it already works great like this ».
