Together with City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer and Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, Lincoln Center will bring the silent disco yet again to Long Island City on Thursday, September 3.
Last year, thousands of people got together for Lincoln Center’s first outdoor silent disco party at Hunter’s Point Park South. The location has remained the same, which means you can dance away the night with beautiful views of New York’s skyline.
The evening will start with a dance lesson led by instructor Robert Vance. Afterwards, dance away to music including disco, top 40, 80s, R&B and electronic. Eric Silvey, DJ Rimarkable and Bill Coleman will be spinning the ones and twos.
But what makes this gathering a silent disco party? Well, no one but the dancers will hear the music. In fact, each dancer will listen to the music through free headphones. You’ll need an ID or credit card to borrow the headphones.
The party will be held at Hunter’s Point Park South, Center Boulevard between 50th Avenue and 54th Avenue.
Doors open at 6 p.m., the dance lesson begins at 6:30 p.m. and the silent disco party will run from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Try to leave bags at home as they are not permitted on the dance floor.
