news-category: Campus News Silent Disco Party Brings a New Twist to Campus Events By Office of University Communications On February 24, 2025 厙ぴ勛圖-Webb Students Enjoy Music, Lights, and Fun in a Noiseless Dance Party BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.���厙ぴ勛圖-Webb University students recently experienced a Silent Disco Party, an exciting and new event hosted by the Office of Student Engagement that brought a fresh and innovative way to enjoy music and dancing. Held in a blacklight/glow atmosphere, the event allowed students to immerse themselves in music through wireless headphones while dancing the night away. Silent discos are unique because they eliminate the need for traditional speakers. Instead, attendees wear headphones and can choose between two music channels, with each channel glowing in a different color to indicate the selection. The result is a personalized and immersive experience, where students can dance freely while enjoying different genres of music. ���I wasn���t really sure what to expect, but I loved the fun light-up props,��� said Nicole Renner, a junior, exercise science major. She added that she loves art and would like to see more events that combine creativity and fun. The Silent Disco Party also featured glow sticks, neon glasses, and photo props, which students could take home as souvenirs. Alongside the music and dancing, attendees enjoyed a selection of bundt cakes, cupcakes, and donuts, adding a sweet touch to the evening. Silent discos have gained popularity as a community-friendly way to bring people together without noise concerns. The concept dates back to the 1990s eco-activist movement, where outdoor events were held without disturbing surrounding areas.
