Silent disco comes to Geelong

SEASTERHOOD will take to the streets of Geelong for the first time with their Silent Disco Walking Tour on May 10.

Participants are given headphones to wear as they groove along the waterfront together, with uplifting 80s music playing in their ears.

The Seasterhood was founded by Nicole Lordan and Jane Palmer in 2022, as a way to connect women, bringing their latest event to the region.

“What we’re doing is providing a space to connect people and also have fun together, so they feel like they can be themselves,” Ms Lordan said.

“It’s beautiful to see people live, feel free, have joy and to connect and that’s what we’re going to do in Geelong.”

Disco Duk Duk will lead the tour as he prompts the group members with spontaneous flashmobs and dancing throughout the city.

During the hour-long silent disco, participants will make their way from the Geelong Waterfront up to Little Malop Street.

Ms Lordan said the freedom for people to express themselves was one of the highlights of these types of events.

“Because you have these headphones on, you feel like you’re in your own kind of space.”

The Seasterhood are based in Williamstown and offer a range of different events, branching out into other towns.

“It’s always outdoors; it’s always near the sea or water, or in the sea, and to feel uplifted and feel energised, but to also feel a sense of belonging.”

The event is all inclusive and open for all fitness levels and ages with plenty of dancing and singing along the way.

The Walking Tour will leave at 6.15pm from Steampacket Gardens and finish at 7.30pm.
