Silent Disco Date Night at Home

What is a Silent Disco?

Silent Discos are parties where guests listen to music through headphones instead of speakers. They have become popular in nightclubs, cruise ships, at weddings, and street dances. You get all the fun of a dance party without loud music and having to worry about noise ordinances.

What You Need for a Silent Disco Date Night at Home

There are a couple things you’ll need to plan a silent disco date night at home. You may already have what you need for your private dance party!

1. 2 Sets of Headphones
2. Music Playlist

First, you’ll need two sets of headphones. The best headphones for silent disco are ones that are wireless and have Bluetooth. You’ll want those features to be able to stream music and dance without being tied down to a cord. If you do not own a pair, check out this list of the Best Silent Disco Headphones or read some threads on Reddit to see what people like.

Next, create a music playlist for silent disco date night at home. You can both listen to the same playlist, or create individual playlists to listen to . Some ideas for creating your playlist include:

• Songs you both love
• Specific Genre
• Songs from a Specific Year or Decade
• Holiday Songs
• Randomized Playlist
• Songs with Same Word in the Title

There are a few options for streaming playlists to your headphones. Use cellphones to stream individual playlists. Create a playlist on Spotify Jams that you can both stream. If you were having a large silent disco you would want a transmitter, but I don’t think that is necessary for a two person silent disco a home.

Set the Mood for a Silent Disco Date Night at Home

Before your personal dance party begins, you’ll want to set the mood. The living room, bedroom, basement, or garage are great places for your silent disco at home. Dim the lights and add your own with candles, fairy lights, or Christmas lights.

Clear space for dancing so you can get your groove on without getting hurt. Set out some drinks and snacks to enjoy when you need a break from dancing. If you picked a theme for your playlist, continue the theme with the food and drinks.

Having a silent disco date night at home is actually pretty easy! With winter coming, date night in will be more common for us. I’m already planning a couple of these with my husband, and one with our whole family as well! How fun would a family silent disco on a snow day be?!
