SUMMARY:Toddler Dayglow Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to wiggle and glow at our ultimate Valentine’s “Day-time” dance party! DJ Joe Majesty will be dropping the beats (and the volume!) mixed with techno remixes of your little one’s favorite tunes\, like Wheels on the Bus and Ol’ Macdonald. \nThis colorful dayglow party is designed for parents and children to dance and explore rhythm together in a safe\, kid-friendly environment. We’ll supply glow sticks\, bubble machines\, non-strobe-effect lights\, and age-appropriate music. You bring the tiny dancers and energy! Need a break from the music and lights? You’ll find a space across the hall in our Zimmerman Meeting Room to sit and “chill”\, color a picture\, and reenergize to keep dancing. \nThis event is intended for families with children ages 6 and under. Older siblings will be allowed with parent supervision. \nPlease note that although music will be played at a lower volume\, this still may be too loud for those with sensitivities. It is recommended that you bring any protective or noise reduction headphones your child may require. \nAlso note that although no strobe lights will be used at this event\, we will have black lights to create a glow effect\, color swirling lights\, and laser dot light show. \nFor additional information please contact Stormy at stormye@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3310.
