#InTheLoop | People are howling about Silent Disco parties
BY QEDC It's In Queens
Get your groove on…But first get your headphones on.
Silent Disco parties are scheduled for various Queens neighborhoods – beer garden, park, waterfront esplanade, etc. — this summer.
Hundreds of dancers shake their booties while listening to music by live deejays at these events. Usually, DJ 1 (Green) plays Top 40 hits, while DJ2 (Red) spins throwbacks, and DJ 3 (Blue) rocks hip hop, R&B, funk, and maybe even some Motown.
The dancers rent headphones that transmit the music. They can switch deejays be pushing the green, red, and blue buttons on their sets.
Here’s a list of upcoming Silent Disco parties.
Friday, Aug. 10, 6 pm-9 pm. NYC Parks Party. The Unisphere, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Please note that this original had a July 25 date, but it was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
