Baby Loves Disco

206-579-5372  |  website  |  email  

Baby Loves Disco is a monthly family dance party that transforms the hippest night clubs into child proof discos! BLD gives toddlers, pre-schoolers and parents looking for a break from the routine playground circuit a chance to let loose for some post naptime, pre-dinner fun. Make no mistake, this is NOT the Mickey Mouse Club, and Barney is banned. BLD 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 groovin'. The fun spills out from all corners of the club: 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. But at its core, BLD is a community event that brings kids together with kids and parents together with parents.
