Sitting at the kitchen table, covered in glitter paint and pvc glue as my son worked on another abstract masterpiece for the front of the fridge, I was pretty sure that my raving days were over. Then I spotted this one and thought I might dust off my boogie shoes for a spot of day-time dad dancing…

Baby Loves Disco has got to beat another chilly weekend wandering around the park with junior at this parent-testing time of year. The company behind it liberate a funky nightclub from its usual audience of 20something hipsters and turn it into a childproof disco for afternoons of full-on dance fun for kids from 6 months to 7 years.

A real DJ gets behind the decks to mix proper tunes (banish any nightmare thoughts of gritting your grown-up teeth as your tots get on down to the Tellytubbies theme tune played at 120 decibels), there’s face painting, a chill-out zone, bubble machines, and private karaoke for the whole family.

The small people can pick their way through a whole spread of healthy snacks and juice boxes to keep their energy levels up while (non-driving) dads can sneak off to the licenced bar for a liquid liven-up of their own.

Electric Circus in Edinburgh will become the latest host’s for Baby Love Disco, kicking off with a dance party afternoon on February 27th, continuing on every Sunday afternoon until May 8th. Tickets are £8.

But if you live elsewhere, don’t despair – there are already tiny tot dance spots in London, Bristol, Brighton, Manchester, Glasgow, and Stirling. Take a look at www.babylovesdisco.co.uk for all the details.

Personally, Scarlett, Fin and I will be strutting our stuff some time soon. The List described it as ‘frighteningly authentic…think of this as a kind of junior Studio 54’. What’s not to like?
