Dance: clubs and parties
Ever since the famous gay clubs Roxy and iT (and later also Backdoor) were forced to close their doors, the Amsterdam gay dance scene has moved to monthly parties. For the circuit (muscle mary dance parties) please see below.
Amsterdam has many massive dance parties, some of them under famous international brands. At parties like Rapido, White Party, Furball, Bear Necessity or SupermarXte you can move to the beats of international and national DJ's, enjoy the shows put on by VJ's and gogo dancers, and mingle with hundreds of muscled and shirtless boys.
Party agenda
Below is a list of all gay parties happening in Amsterdam, some of those are on only once a year. Check our gay party agenda to see what's on in Amsterdam when you are there.
