Unreliable Idea # 25 Silent Dance Party

Inspired by Galstonbury Festival the UCA NSW/ACT Youth Unit offered this option through our DROPZONE venue at this years Blackstump Festival!!

10-11pm Saturday SHUFFLE in the Dropzone

Lots o Watts provided a small lighting rig and punters were invited to bring their own ipod, mp3, discman and given the space for a Dance Party...

After the intial teething issues [some try hards couldn't let a cool idea go ahead with out being part of it despite not bringing said mp3 player.... they shuffled away to no music or shouted/sang to each other and danced. After 20 minutes [I would have been harder on them at a small youth event and asked them to be quiet or leave] they ran out of energy and the 50 remaining punters settled in to a very funny time of shuffling and grooving to who knows what!!

More than 50 people stood outside the tent, curious as to what the description of the event had actually meant and asking technical questions to use the idea 'back home'!!

It was great fun!!
