Baby Loves Disco

babylovesdisco parties for adults and toddlersYour baby can shake his junk in the trunk with this one clever mommies idea.  After taking her kid to the zoo and the park and all the other mommy duties this mom thought why not a club too!  She rented out a nightclub and created a monthly event thats a complete success, taking a dance club and making a kids friendly and parent friendly venue thats sweeping the nation.  

“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.

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 it’s core, Baby loves disco is a community event that brings kids together with kids and parents together with parents.” (from www.babylovesdisco.com)
