// Silent Dance Party //

October 13, 2017 / DEL Students HPMS

Hello parents and students. This is a video of our silent dance party! In a silent dance party everyone wears headphones with channels. Each channel has different music, if you take off all the headphones it looks like people dancing with no music. The party was so much fun and interesting to see our students dance moves.
