TRUSTED BY STUDENT LIFE PROFESSIONALS, CAMPUS PROGRAMMING TEAMS, AND UNIVERSITIES CREATING MODERN, CONNECTION-FIRST EXPERIENCES
Student Activities That Help Students Connect, Belong, and Make Friends Fast
Be You Disco creates immersive student activities that help students feel connected, regulated, and welcomed on campus. Using the Be You Disco method of music, movement, and mindfulness, we design experiences that break down social barriers and help students form real connections early in their college experience.
​​
This is not just a fun activity.
​
It is a foundation for belonging, connection, and student retention.​
Who This Is For
-
Student Life and Campus Programming teams
-
Orientation and Welcome Week planners
-
Student Union and engagement leaders
-
Universities focused on belonging, retention, and student well-being
If you’re looking for something students will actually engage in, not just attend, you’re in the right place
The Real Challenge Student Life Teams
Are Solving​
The hardest part of college is not academics.
It is belonging.
New students arrive excited, nervous, and unsure where they fit. Orientation schedules are packed, but many students still leave feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or alone.
Traditional icebreakers often:
-
Feel awkward or forced
-
Favor extroverts
-
Leave quieter students behind
When students do not feel socially safe, they retreat instead of engaging.
Be You Disco addresses this by helping students feel comfortable in their bodies first, so connection can follow naturally.
“The first event where students actually connected without it feeling forced.”

The Be You Disco Method for Student Connection
​
​
The Be You Disco method is built on one simple truth.
We do not build community by telling people to connect.
We build community by helping people feel safe enough to connect.
Through music, movement, and mindfulness, students:
​
-
Drop out of self consciousness
-
Release nervous energy
-
Feel included without pressure
-
Open up to shared experience
Connection stops feeling like work and starts feeling natural.
​
✅ Stronger student connections → More engaged campus culture
✅ Higher event attendance → Students actually WANT to participate
✅ Less stress, more fun → A healthier, happier student body
✅ Memorable experiences → Events that build lasting friendships
​
Designed for Student Life, Student Union, and Campus Programming Teams​
​
Be You Disco student activities are intentionally designed for the realities of campus programming.
They work beautifully for:
​
-
Freshman and transfer orientation
-
Welcome week and move in programming
-
Student Union events
-
Residence life and RA programming
-
Mental health and wellness initiatives
-
Substance free and late night events
-
Campus wide community building
-
​
These experiences scale easily and adapt to diverse student populations.​​
Why This Works So Well for Freshman Orientation
​​
Orientation sets the emotional tone for a student’s entire college experience.
​
Be You Disco experiences are especially powerful during freshman orientation because they:
​
• Help students make fast friends without awkward introductions
• Break down cliques before they form
• Create shared memories early
• Encourage interaction across majors, backgrounds, and identities
Instead of hoping students connect later, you give them a felt experience of belonging from day one.
Students often say this is the moment they realized,
“I think I’m going to like it here.”
Inclusive, Pressure Free, and
Accessible by Design
Be You Disco is not a performance.
There is:
​
• No choreography
• No expectation to dance
• No forced interaction
Movement is optional, expressive, and adaptable. Students participate at their own comfort level, making this experience welcoming for introverts, neurodivergent students, and those new to campus culture.
This creates engagement without anxiety.
