How Did The Ballroom and Latin Silent Disco Work?

Students were given wireless headphones and had the freedom to choose from two channels playing Ballroom and Latin American music. We even had a third channel playing an ‘Ultimate Party Classics’ playlist for those who fancied something different. All they needed to do to switch channels was press one button and the headphones did the rest.

We believe that dancing is not just a form of exercise but also a great means of self-expression and joy. The silent disco idea allowed students to interpret music in whatever way they wanted, but also carry on conversations if they were sat down.

It was a unique and fun experience that had everyone moving and grooving (and sometimes singing!) on the dance floor.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported our Ballroom and Latin Silent Disco. It’s heartwarming to see how our school can come together to make a difference. The funds we raised will go to Comic Relief and Learn To Dance are topping up the fund to cover the cost of the equipment hire, taking the total to over £600!

Overall, our Ballroom and Latin American silent disco was a night to remember. It was a fantastic way to have fun while supporting a great cause. We’re thrilled with the amount of money we raised and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Following such positive feedback, stay tuned for our next silent event!

Don’t forget you can find details of our other upcoming social events on our website.

For those who haven’t been to a silent disco before everyone wears a pair of headphones playing music that only you can hear. To the casual observer people are dancing around in silence (or maybe singing!). But to the dancer you are immersed in your own personal performance.

Each pair of headphones comes equipped with an LED light to indicate which channel you are listening to. We’d highly recommend, if dancing with a partner, that you both listen to the same channel!!!

This does mean that whilst one couple are dancing Waltz, another couple could be Jiving. In fact still more could be solo dancing to Abba or David Guetta. Spectators can even play guess the dance (especially if there appears to be some variations in interpretation).

Yes it’s going to be carnage, but that’s why we chose Red Nose Day from Comic Relief!

This promises to be a brand new experience from our regular monthly social dances. It may even be the first time this has ever been attempted for Ballroom & Latin.
