dance parties for infants and their grown-ups!
WHat is a Baby Rave?
Baby Rave Live brings you research-driven and developmentally nourishing experiences for young minds and bodies. Most often a Baby Rave takes the form of a 30 minute program (or ‘joy explosion’) followed by an open ended hang-out for grown-up and baby alike (what we like to call the VIP lounge).
What happens at a baby rave?
Grown-ups can expect to move, vocalize, dance and observe the world with their babies.
How old should my child be? Is it just for babies?
This is a highly inclusive dance floor, and there’s room for everyone to join the party!
Our Baby Raves can range from an intimate floor-based experience for infants or a big-room rager for all ages. We select from a range of activities to create a bespoke Baby Rave experience that is developmentally appropriate for the kids we are partying with, whether it’s a room of infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers or bigger kids. We will always let our grown ups know in advance which age group we are serving with each experience.
We always make sure that older siblings can engage and have a good time too!
Who Are you?
Baby Raves are designed for you and your baby by a devastating dance-floor team of artists (DJs, musicians, dancer/choreographers, theatre makers), bringing our combined expertise as early-learner teaching artists in museum and theater settings. We share meaningful and strategy-rich experiences to fuel the hearts, brains and bodies of you and your family.
Baby Rave Live was originally conceived as an in-person experience for the Alliance Theatre (Atlanta, GA) in 2016. We were compelled to create a virtual Baby Rave in 2020 so we could support babies and their adults in lockdown during the pandemic. Baby Rave Live is now an ongoing research project that can bring the party virtually or IRL!
Testimonials From grown-ups
“As a new mom of a little baby, I'm still sometimes unsure of what kind of activities to do with him and what he'll enjoy, so I liked having your prompts.”
“The whole thing was great! I love the active dancing time the best and the warm up was fun too. The song was great and the whole vibe was just silly and awesome!”
”I thought all the instructions were very clear and I liked the freeness of each exercise that allowed for my one year old to be a one year old and sometimes engage and sometimes not.”
“The whole thing really was so baby focused and fun for him. We kept singing all weekend and he’s been laughing every time. A fun way for our family to start a Saturday together.”
“We LOVE this and you guys are great! It was wildly creative and fun! Thanks so much!!!”
