Cirque du Soir

Fantasy or reality?

Over the course of the weekend I mustered the courage to go a brave the evening clubbing scenes by going the ACT on thursday followed by Cirque du Soir on friday.

Unfortunately the Act didn't present me with anything I hadn't already seen before, if fact I hated it! Dark and grimy, overpacked and smokey. I was even unable to enjoy the music or the ambience of the club, definite fail! From the shoe box entrance, sardine cramped elevator, unbearable atmosphere and freakishly deluded actors, quite possibly one the worst experience I've had in Dubai.

Furthermore it seems that my friends hadn't had enough from the night before so they dragged me and persuaded me to pay a visit to Cirque du Soir, which turned out to be even worse! The circus themed concept and folk didn't do anything to calm my nerves from the night before. The array of entertainers, midgets, gymnasts and whip barer's seemed only to increase my anxiety.
Certain nightmares should be strictly confined to the imagination and not in front of you swinging on a rope or dancing on a table!!!
The crowd was mediocre with the place barely filling (our party excluded) and the music a mix of house, pop and rnb filled the club till 3am or so i was told due to the fact I had left an hour and a half beforehand.

What happened to the classic clubs such Movida and VIP in Dubai? Easy going, no fuss simple and no hidden nasties waiting in corners to scare you?

Bring back the classics and stop confusing fantasy with reality.
