My "Why"

Writer: Cassie CunninghamCassie Cunningham

Starting a business is never just about the numbers; it’s personal. For me, it’s all about sharing something that has profoundly changed my life—dancing. There’s something liberating about letting your body move to music. I wanted to share that sense of freedom with others. My discovery of silent discos, unique gatherings where people wear headphones connected to different playlists, inspired me to create spaces that foster playfulness, self-expression, and connection. This isn’t just for me; it’s for everyone involved.

When I think about why I embarked on this entrepreneurial journey, the answer stands out clearly. It wasn’t just the freedom of dance that captivated me; it was the joy it brings, the connections it fosters, and the community it builds. Take silent discos, for example. In 2022, a survey found that over 85% of participants felt more connected to others during these events compared to traditional parties. The energy, where everyone loses themselves in the rhythm and feels safe being themselves, is truly magical. I realized these experiences could thrive outside the confines of typical dance venues.


The Freedom of Expression


Silent discos provide a unique platform for participants to express themselves without the nerves that can come with public performances. Imagine dancing freely among strangers, all comfortably enjoying music through their headphones. This creates a liberating environment where individuals can connect with themselves and other people on a deeper level. I aim to create more spaces like this, curating environments where people can experience this magic regularly.


Dance is more than just movement; it is a powerful form of communication. At a silent disco, participants share the joys of musical exploration without the fear of judgment. It’s what fuels my mission—to create inclusive environments where everyone feels urged to let loose, have fun, and express their true selves without the weight of societal expectations.




The Mom Life Balance

Another reason this business holds significant value in my life is that it lets me be the kind of mom I strive to be. Owning my venture gives me the flexibility to carve out precious time for my kids—time that can be elusive in a traditional 9-to-5 job. In fact, studies show that parents who have flexible work schedules report greater satisfaction in their family lives. This freedom allows me to be present with them, nurturing their curiosity and providing enriching experiences.


Plus, my kids love to join me at silent disco events. They experience the joy of music and movement, which deepens our bond. Witnessing their happiness as they dance, headphones on and smiles bright, is truly rewarding. Being able to involve them in my work while prioritizing family time makes my heart full.


Creating Community Connections


I firmly believe that everyone should share in the joy of movement, regardless of their background or skill level. My venture invites people from all walks of life to join in this celebration of freedom and expression through dance. Each person brings something valuable to the dance floor.


My goal is to build a community where everyone feels welcomed. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the floor for the first time, I hope you find your place in our events. Together, we can create an atmosphere filled with laughter, joy, and meaningful connections that go beyond what you might expect from a typical dance party.





Co-creating a Joyful Space


I invite you to help shape these spaces where freedom flourishes! Whether you are familiar with silent discos or just curious about them, your participation will help nurture inclusive environments welcoming everyone to join the fun. Let’s break down barriers, celebrate our uniqueness, and cultivate genuine connections through the power of dance.


Being part of this journey is about more than leading events; it's about building a community that uplifts one another. Together, we can create experiences that entertain and empower everyone to enjoy life without hesitation.


Final Reflections


This journey toward sharing the joy of dance and expression is vital to my identity. I want to create environments that unite people, where vibrancy and joy thrive, every individual feels valued, and where connections can blossom. In doing so, I can also create a life that allows me to be a present and engaged mom.


Let’s dance! Let’s create a safe space that celebrates individuality while forging meaningful connections in our community. Join me on this journey, and let’s light the dance floor with joy, freedom, and togetherness. Together, we can ensure that everyone has a fantastic time and feels free to share their unique selves.


Are you ready to join the dance? Let’s make it happen together!
