It's all in your head(phones) at Quiet Clubbing in the Garden
Bust a move without bursting your eardrums when you control the volume and style of music you're dancing to at this Quiet Clubbing event. Participants put on a special set of wireless headphones, choose from three different DJs—each plays a different genre like hip-hop or Top 40—and get to grooving. If you want to get to know that cutie you've been grinding with, just take off your headphones and start chatting.
