Oh ok, cause I thought the bladesinger needed to be singing or dancing because it says you can stop doing it.
No, the "singing" part of the "Bladesinging" comes from the whistling noise that the blade makes while Bladesingers are attacking. Their movements are typically similar to dancing, but that doesn't have any mechanical effects and is just fluff. Silence doesn't stop the Bladesinger from activating Bladesong or from gaining any of its benefits. The only effect it would have on the Wizard is what the spell says, such as stopping people from casting spells with Verbal components, and giving them immunity to thunder damage.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
How do this two interact?
Exactly as you'd expect. The Silence spell stops spellcasting.
Only for spells that require a verbal component.
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua carezza!
I sing to life and to its tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!
Yes, quite. My bad.
So it does not stop the bladesinging ability? Just the other spells? The bladesinger still gets the movement and ac increase?
yeah i think so
Yes. Since the Silence spell only affects spells that have a somatic component. Bladesong doesn't seem to actually have that so it's not affected.

Fortunately you can still dance with no sound. :) It does end if you are incapacitated though.

Because you’re friends don’t dance, and if they don’t dance, then they’re no friends of mine.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one old enough to remember that. B)
I'm only 19, but even I know that song. I'm not sure where or when I have heard it, but I know it well enough to recognize the lyrics.

There might be hope for the future after all. Never give that up, never let us down, never run around. And hurt us.
Probably shouldn't run around at all, that's how you accidentally step on D4s...
