About Us ☺
Behind the Music
Two moms. A shared love of dance.
We’re Aimee and Jenna, two Westport, Connecticut moms who grew up dancing and share a passion for music, movement, and building community.
The idea for Parental Guidance started on a dance floor – in Jenna’s backyard, to be exact. To celebrate her 40th birthday, Jenna threw an old-school dance party complete with a DJ, lights, and a soundtrack of our favorite throwback hits. It was a night of carefree fun, surrounded by friends, dancing like we were 19 again.
It reminded us just how powerful music and movement can be. And we thought, why aren’t we doing more of this?
We wanted to create that feeling for our kids, our families, and our community. To give the next generation a taste of the simple joys we grew up with – school dances, bar mitzvahs, and house parties. Blasting your favorite songs and feeling comfortable enough to let loose, dance, scream at the top of your lungs, without a screen in sight.
And so Parental Guidance was born.
our passion for bringing people together extends beyond the dance floor
Rooted in community. Driven by connection.
As co-directors of Walk Bike Westport, we’re both committed to giving back to our community and creating safe, welcoming spaces where families can connect, move, and thrive together.
Beyond Parental Guidance, we’re both local entrepreneurs.
Aimee is the owner and creative director of Pip Party Co., where she creates playful designs for kids’ celebrations. Jenna is the founder of PlaceSmart, a placemaking consultancy for real estate developers and districts.
Through our respective businesses, we’re committed to inspiring creativity, encouraging play, and fostering meaningful connections within the Westport, Connecticut community.
