The Dancing House or Dancing Building or Ginger & Fred is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic at Rašínovo Nábřeží 80, Praha 2. It was designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry in co-operation with Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996. The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time. Czech president Václav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity.
Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - the house resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous.
The Dancing House is set on a property of great historical significance. In its place a house was destroyed by a bomb during live World War II. The plot and structure lay decrepit until 1960 when the area was cleared. The neighboring plot was co-owned by Czech ex-president Vaclav Havel. Havel spent his childhood next door and eventually decided to have a survey taken of the site by future designer Vlado Milunic, hoping for it to be the site of a cultural center. ING Bank (previously called Nationale Nederland) soon agreed to sponsor the building of a house on site. The super bank soon chose Milunic as the lead designer and asked him to partner with another world-renowned architect to approach the process. Jean Nouvel turned down the idea because of the minute square footage. Well known American architect Frank Gehry accepted the invitation. Because of the bank's excellent financial state at the time, it was able to offer almost unlimited funding for the project.
Known as deconstructivist (new-baroque to the designers) architecture due to its unusual shape. The dancing shape is supported by 99 concrete panels, each a different shape and dimension. On the top of the building is a large twisted structure of metal nick named Medusa. In the interior of a square of buildings in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the Dancing House has two central bodies. The first is a tower of glass that is close to half height and is supported by curved pillars, the second runs parallel to the river, which is characterized by the moldings that follow a wavy motion and distributed through the windows so the non-aligned. This solution has been driven mainly by a kind of aesthetic consideration: the windows lined evidenciarían that the building has two windows, although they have the same height as the two adjacent buildings of the nineteenth century. They also don't have to be perceived in the will of the designer, as simple forms on a flat surface, but must achieve the effect of three-dimensionality, hence the idea of frames as outgoing frames of paintings. Also the winding moldings on the facade make it more confusing perspective, diminishing the contrast with the buildings that surround it.

5 Best Rooftop Bars in Prague
We spent 5 months loving, living and DINING in Prague, Czech Republic. Check out some of our favorites rooftop restaurants and bars we found!
1. DANCING HOUSE
Address: Jiráskovo nám. 1981/6, 120 00 Nové Město, Czechia
The entrance onto the rooftop patio is 100 korunas or you can buy a drink and the entrance to the outdoor patio is FREE. I recommend going here for the sunset with a great view of the Vlatva River and the Prague Castle. Very relaxed vibe with people coming after work for a drink or just to hangout during the day.
2. T-ANKER
Address: OD Kotva, nám. Republiky 656/8, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia
It is a little difficult to find but it is on the 5th floor of the mall. It is a very family friendly environment, especially when it gets warm there is also a playset for your little ones, complete with a slide!
3. UPRINCE HOTEL
Address: Staroměstské nám. 460/29, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia
One of our PERSONAL favorites! It has great food, great drinks and great views. It is on the top floor of the UPrince Hotel right in Old Town Square. One of the only places in Prague where we could find a Moscow mule. Also recommend their hanging meat skewer and their sangria!
4. VILLA RICHTER at St Wenceslas Vineyard
Address: Staré zámecké schody 6, 118 00 Praha 1, Czechia
Located near the Prague Castle area, this recently restored vineyard has panoramic views of the city, plenty of seating within its two restaurants. It makes for a great stop after touring the Prague Castle or visiting Petrin Tower. It is also known as the oldest vineyard in Bohemia
5. KAMPA PARK
Address: Na Kampě 8b, 118 00 Malá Strana, Czechia
Although it is not on a rooftop, it has great views of the Vltava River and the Charles Bridge with an international menu and a large list of wines. The avocado shrimp salad was absolutely TO DIE FOR. Although this spot is perfect for summer weather, Kampa Park also has plenty of space inside and a winter garden complete with a heated conservatory that overlooks the river.
