Diapers on the Dance Floor
All across the country, Baby Loves Disco is slowly but surely transforming the hippest night clubs into child proof discos as toddlers, pre-schoolers and parents looking for a break from the routine playground circuit let loose for some post nap time, pre-dinner fun. Make no mistake, this is NOT the Mickey Mouse club, and Barney is banned. Baby Loves Disco is an afternoon dance party featuring real music spun and mixed by real djs blending classic disco tunes From the 70s, & 80s guaranteed to get those little booties moving and grooving.
We’re talking bubble machines, baskets of scarves and egg-shakers, a chill-out room (with tents, books and puzzles), diaper changing stations, a full spread of healthy snacks and dancing, LOTS of dancing.
Started in 2005 by professional dancer (and professional mom) Heather Murphy, the idea was to create an alternative to the pre-packaged world of entertainment for young kids. “We’re parents, we’re always looking for something new and different to do with the kids,” says Murphy whose lifestyle (like most of the baby disco parents) was changed when she gave birth to her 4 year old son Max. Well the idea spread like disco fever and there are now parties in 18 US cities from coast to coast with more on the way. Today, Baby Loves Disco remains a mom and pop company, employing other local moms and pops across the country and trying to keep the dream of being able to work from home and not need to get a “real job” alive. Visit the Baby Loves Disco site to find the schedule of parties in your city or learn about how you can bring BLD to your neck of the woods.
Now you know that I generally adhere strictly to clubhouse matters in my posts, but I hope you’ll excuse me for this rare tangent. To celebrate the launch of Baby Loves Disco in their new LA location, the amazing Derby, my site, Mahar Drygoods, is setting up a mini disco party shop! And to sweeten the smack of shameless self-promotion I’m hosting a ticket giveaway:
