Boston Silent Dance Experiment Invades Faneuil Hall

b

Bostonist.com - The organizers of the Boston Silent Dance Experiment can extol the artistic virtues of urban fun and collective improv performance to Bostonist, but this was merely 13 minutes of subversive bliss to most of the 300+ silent dancers that converged on Faneuil Hall this past Saturday afternoon. Unlike most clubs, everyone was anxious to join the nearest awkward stranger in the synchronized yet messy groove that ensued. Although the participants had very "flexible" definitions of the beginning of 1:00 pm, all muddled through with aplomb. Some of the timing could be faked and had impressive effect for participant and viewer alike, but the various pointing directions looked messy and chaotic.In the end, it was exactly what dancing should be -- a celebration of life and community no matter how bad everyone dances.

WTF?   Would somebody please tell me the next time that the Banditos Misteriosos (AKA The Weekly Dig) are having their next get together so I can hire some high school bullies to heckle the shit out of them?    I mean this isn’t the University of Vermont.  Just because you’re a social outcast that doesn’t give you the right to start Phishing out in Faneuil Hall.    If you want to have a silent dance party be my guest.  But do me a favor and keep it refined to Central Square.   That’s where you guys live.   Faneuil Hall belongs to the meatheads and hot trashy girls.   End of story.
