JYVASKYLA, Finland, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Deaf young people with an urge to dance in a nightclub atmosphere can do so at an aroma-oriented event in Finland, organizer Ronald Lightenberg said.

Ligtenberg said the event, called SenCity, aids deaf dancers through the use of scented oils that match the mood of the music being played, The Daily Telegraph in Britain said Friday.


Deaf dancers are also helped at the event by so-called signdancers who use dance moves and sign language to communicate song lyrics, Ligtenberg said.

The event in the city of Jyvaskyla allows a mainstream part of the youth culture to be fully enjoyed by people with the disability, Ligtenberg said.

"Often, minority cultures can get lost when merging with majority cultures," he said. "SenCity brings the two cultures together."
