Though it might sound like an oxymoron, the Therapy Cafe is yet again showing why its silent disco is far from it.

>> Who will be Dayton’s next rising star? Battle of the Bands coming to Dayton

Here are five reasons why you should give it a shot:

1.) The idea of a silent disco was born in bigger cities and at music festivals like Bonnaroo, and now can be found on a monthly basis at Therapy Cafe. The event is best be described as a party for one, in a room of hundreds.

>> JUST ANNOUNCED: Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison, Joan Jett coming to Cincinnati

2.) It's like a musical choose-your-own-adventure with three local DJs, each spinning a different genre. All you have to do is set your headphones and dance!

3.) The color-coordinated, specialized headphones light up according to the station selected, giving each member of the crowd a completely distinct experience and creating a sea of color in the club.

4.) Dayton is known for having great support of our local music scene, and here is another opportunity. This event showcases three DJs with their own style and sound. You can switch from EDM to classic hip-hop and then over to current hits.

>> Charlie Brown Christmas at the Schuster: ‘To mix a jazz quartet with an orchestra is so beautiful’

5.) This event is a dream for introverts and extroverts alike. You can find your place in the crowd based on like-minded listeners, or get down solo. Silent Disco is a party for everyone!
