Dancing to The Sound of Silence

If you’ve never been to a silent disco, where have you been hiding? It’s time to strap on some cans and join the hundreds who flock to one of the dance parties Quiet Events hosts around the country. In New York City, their headphone parties bring you a social experience like none other as two or three DJs battle it out for the attention of the crowd. Each DJ plays different beats on their assigned frequency and are given a color — like green, blue, or red — so everyone can immediately see who’s dancing to whose music (the headphones’ LED lights change color when clubbers change frequencies). Take off your ‘phones and the club is as quiet as a library, and great for chatting up that hottie. Catch a silent disco this spring and summer at NYC’s Stage 48, Studio Square, or Bohemian Beer Garden. (quietevents.com)
