Nearly a century of audiences coming back
An attraction that has outlasted every fad.
In 1928 Otto Przystawik built the original dancing fountains at the Resi ballroom in Berlin, and after World War II, in 1950, he built a new, bigger show there. The show went on to Radio City Music Hall, two World's Fairs, Expo 67 and a 2½-acre (1 ha) lake in Cape Coral, Florida. Novelties fade after a season or two. This one has been booked, rebooked and rebuilt for close to 100 years, because people keep paying to see it again.
His grandson Michael Przystawik runs Waltzing Waters today. The 2028 centennial marks a hundred years of a show that still earns its keep.
