5 -12 receive the most benefit from the party.

We use family-friendly, mom approved versions of the best dance party songs. The party includes pop songs kids love, old school classics parents love, and timeless dance songs everybody loves!
Can I bring in a face painter/celebrity impersonator/entertainer?
We do not recommend that you hire outside entertainment in addition to our kids party flow. Not only are these services expensive, but they also tend to distract from the experience. Our party flow allows us to achieve our primary goal: to make you, your child, and your guests feel like rockstars.
