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 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 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. Started 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.
The monthly event, which started in Philly where it has sold out
club Fluid since inception, caught the ear of Brooklyn-based music
guy Andy Hurwitz who brought the party up to New York City in the
fall of 2005: “my kids had a blast, but the real bonus was
that my wife and I had a great time too,” said Hurwitz,
founder of ropeadope records and father of two young boys. He
added, “It’s more than just something to do for the
kids, Baby Loves Disco is fun for parents, we get the chance to
mingle with other parents, dance with our kids and have a Saturday
afternoon cocktail to boot.”
By the fall of 2006 Baby Loves Disco had spread coast to coast and
now takes place in over 21 cities – all without any
traditional advertising, marketing or publicity as word of mouth
spread through the parental grapevine quickly. In fact, it is
usually an inspired mom (or the occasional dad) that motivates to
bring Baby Loves Disco to their own hometown where they end up as
the host of the party.
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.
