Partid – Paitor
x Openspace
Literally translated from Thai name of Baan Ten Rum, the Dance House was originally ‘Samakkee Lee-rat Dancing School’ which taught dancing especially ballroom dance. Back in the 60s, this two-story wooden house was also one of Bangkok’s most popular venues for young people to socialize and became the symbol of Western influence.
Therefore, this mansion serves as yet another reminder of the time when western culture predominated in Thailand. The "Par-Tid-Pai-Tor" exhibition, which depicted the state of the home prior to the repairs, was available for viewing until September 15, 2013.
We wants to turn the abandoned dancing school into a dance museum to pass on about ballroom dance back then and a place where locals can have a place where they can exchange their opinions and meeting. Bringing back dancing spirit of this place, it occasionally holds some events and workshops on ballroom dance too.
