Welcome to Blue Funk Disco

A silent disco for your soul. Instead of tossing our grief aside, we invite it to a dance party. Our dance floor is a space where our grief becomes unstuck, movement becomes our medicine, music becomes our language of mourning, and healing happens in community. Come dance your aching heart out. All are welcome here.

Our Mission

A Blue Funk Disco is a silent disco event where people are invited to honor diverse types of loss, explore their emotions, and experience support through shared expression and vulnerability.  Our mission is to create inclusive and communal spaces where grief, in all its forms, can be openly expressed and honored.  We believe in the transformative power of music and dance to help individuals process complex emotions, foster connection, and navigate the multidimensional experience of loss.

Our Story

Our cousin, Bella Gazzola, introduced the family to the magic of silent discos when she hosted one for her golden birthday. Gathering in this way — dancing, laughing, and connecting through music — quickly became a favorite family tradition. During her experience with cancer, celebration became a way to savor time. After her death, these silent discos continue to be the way our family connects to her spirit and holds both sorrow and joy. Blue Funk Disco was born from a desire to share that light — to create spaces where others can reconnect, remember, and move through grief.
