Illuminated dance floors are nothing new. In the seventies they where all the rage, the problem was that dancers flared hot pants would cover the floor panels and kill the effect. Now, flares or not, the illuminated dance floor is back, this time in LED form. Using the latest in pressure sensitive LED technology, these panels are designed to interact with club goers moves as well as D.J's sets. Special plug ins can be downloaded into the D.Js computer equipment allowing an entire set to be pre programmed where the music and lights work together. The panels are not restricted to work only on dance floors and can be fitted to walls, bar tops and Lionel Ritchie's favorite place to dance, ceilings.
Equally as popular are the silent disco parties. Originally developed in the Netherlands, the concept involves a DJ, numerous sets of wireless headphones and a huge number of people who are not afraid to look stupid. The concept is very unique and pretty funky, however if you happen to not be wearing a headset, you may think someone spiked your drink as you witness a lot of dancing and no music. The DJs tunes are broadcast on a particular frequency that only the party goers headsets can pick up. The company known as 433fm.com, came up with the concept in 2002 and say the aim is for people "to go off in silence".
