Baby Loves Disco

I'll admit it, I miss my clubbing days. The loud music, the lights, the dancing all night, the FUN! Sure, I can dance around with my little guy in the apartment, but it's just not the same.

But, I found a solution to my woes... Baby Loves Disco!!

What is Baby Loves Disco, you ask? Well, I couldn't say it better myself so let's take a blurb straight from their site:

"For the past  8 years, Baby Loves Disco has been trans­form­ing the hippest night clubs across the world into child proof dis­cos as tod­dlers, pre-schoolers and par­ents look­ing for a break from the rou­tine play­ground cir­cuit let loose for some post nap­time, 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 with today’s hottest dance tunes…..guar­an­teed to get those lit­tle booties mov­ing and grooving." (from Baby Loves Disco website)

I'd heard about them years ago, long before having kids, and thought it was such a neat idea. Then I saw them on the Shark Tank a few weeks ago and the interest was re-ignited. Checked their schedule and low and behold they were coming to town!!

The line down the block told me this was gonna be something (it was a sold out show, with several birthday parties included)...

Their sponsors were lined up in the hallway giving away free samples and brochures, everyone from Happy Family to New York Life Insurance! The bar, which had the booze flowing (for some parents too much perhaps? haha), was also lined with kid-friendly snacks, which were unfortunately not so healthy but definitely kid-pleasers. Pop tarts, pb&j banana sandwiches, cereal, muffins, pita and hummus, chips and salsa, juice pouches from Honest Kids...

The music was a bit loud, and I slightly regretted not having a pair of those baby hearing protector earmuffs that you see little Blue Ivy sporting at her mom and dad's concerts! But it definitely wasn't as loud as a regular club, I know this because my ears were not ringing when we left! haha!! Phew!

They had a lot of fun dance games such as "Freeze Dance" (see above video), "Family Dance Off", "Cha Cha Slide", "YMCA" etc! The music was RIGHT up my ally playing top 40 dance music with a few oldies but goodies in there like Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Here's me and my baby gettin' our grooves on:

Baby Loves Disco is for ages 6 months and up, so they have a little designated "crawl zone" for the wee ones! They also had 2 changing tables set up by the bathrooms, with wipes!

It was a full house, but not packed like a regular club night would be. There was definitely plenty of space to jump around and even let my 10 month old toddle around in the bubbles without getting trampled.

US-Japan Fam in the flesh!

So, to recap, Baby Loves Disco is pretty darn awesome. If you aren't a fan of dancing and music, then maybe this won't be on your to-do list. But for me it was a great way to enjoy the fun of clubbing but in a family-friendly way that your kids can enjoy, especially the 3 years and up kiddies - they were all LOVING it!!!

And I have to say, it was refreshing to come out of there sober, with no hang over or ringing ears, in the day light - and not the harsh daylight of the next morning! haha! Yay for Baby Loves Disco! ^_^
