Great Americans come celebrate Independence weekend with us dancing at bars and on sidewalks in Virginia Highlands! Get ready to rock a red and blue LED headset to all American Jams and flip between 3 different styles of music for all new dance experience in Atlanta! Hush Hush is the next wave of silent disco in this country and let us call it the silent disco experiment. Ready for some Daylife full of fun and drinking during the day? We are taking silent disco out of the clubs/festivals and creating a mobile music listening environment. Silent Disco is where all participants wear wireless LED headsets tuned to 3 different types of music. The headsets have 3 Led Colors, (blue, green& red), that coordinate with different styles of music. For example, we may have 3 styles: DJ 1 (Green): EDM Dance DJ 2 (Blue): Top 40 Club remixes, DJ 3 (Red): 80’s & Old School Hip Hop. The venue will be completely quiet and you can have conversations with no interruptions due to loud music. There is only 500 spaces for the event and we plan to do this monthly in Atlanta in various locations. Our plan is to visit 3 venues while dancing our way down the sidewalk from place to place. Highlands Bar Lineup: Neighbor’s Pub, Hand In Hand, J & J Bourbon Bar, and more TBA. Tickets are currently $15 that includes 6 hour rental of silent disco headsets and 2 complimentary shots.
