Rooftop Silent Dance Party at Rock and Roll Hotel!
Friday, April 26th
7:00pm - 2:00am
Free before 9:00pm, $5 after
RSVP Requested, 21+

Come on out for a silent disco dance party on the rooftop of Rock n Roll Hotel this Friday! The music will be electronic with pop, funk and drum n bass elements. Please bring IDs, as they required for entrance and will be kept as collateral for the headsets.

DJ Lineup includes: Rachel Luxe, Dan Rabbit, Synz, Muramasa & Pat Premier.

What is a silent dance party? The basic gist is that each person gets their own headphones and can adjust the channel and volume, which is great. It's also a great way to throw an outdoor party without disturbing the neighbors. It's a really cool concept, worth checking out. The silent dance parties that Blue throws also tend to attract some folks from the DC Burner crew (folks who have been to Burning Man or are connected to the regional burns and burn culture). It should be a fun, colorful, and possibly bright and fuzzy crowd.
