Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Much like pantsless subway rides and flash mobs involving dancing in public places, the phenomenon of the "silent disco" -- wherein dozens of people, mostly white people (sorry, fellow crackers, it's true, we're dorky) dance around -- has come and hung around longer than maybe it should have.
But that doesn't mean they're not fun. To wit, a video of this silent disco on Friday night at the Denver Zoo, where "YMCA" seems to get a few people moving, but "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey is where the ish really hits the fan.
