WESTPORT, CT ★ ALL AGES WELCOME
Family dance parties with old-school energy
We’re bringing back the magic on the dance floor.
Parental Guidance is a Westport, Connecticut-based family dance company creating dance experiences that bring kids, parents, and communities together.
Founded by two moms who grew up dancing, we believe music and movement have the power to connect generations, build confidence, and create a sense of belonging.
What to Expect ☺
Unplug. Turn up. Get down.
Old-school energy
Inspired by the school gym dances and epic bar mitzvahs of our childhood, we’re bringing that old-school energy to a whole new generation.
Parental Guidance creates family-friendly dance parties at local community spaces where kids can be kids, and parents can feel like they’re 16 again.
Live DJ with club grade beats
Millennial mom anthems and new kid favorites
Limbo, freeze dance, and more classic games
Black light experiences and throwback props
Movement for all
No dance experience necessary. Just feel-good music and the freedom to dance your own way!
Local dancers bring the dance floor to life with easy-to-follow dance routines. From little movers to grown up groovers, it’s a welcoming space to let loose, build confidence, and discover (or re-discover) your inner pop star.
