What is Silent Disco Squad?

Silent Disco Squad uses mp3 players/smartphones + headphones to create a shared music experience effectively transforming everyday moments into a Silent Disco danceparty!

What is 100in1Day?

100in1Day is a worldwide movement that encourages dreamers, artists, and entrepreneurs to transform their city through unified action by having 100 interventions in 1 day. Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax are participating in 100in1 Day on June 7th!

3, 2, 1, PLAY! The music begins. Identical chords, beats, and rhythms blare through each dancer’s headphones simultaneously. We are synchronized: every dancer listens to the same specially created Silent Disco Squad dance mix. We start to dance in a park and take the dance party to the streets. And we don’t stop until the music does.
