Nightclubs are typically a rite of passage for barely legal teenagers but thanks to Betsy Fischer of Philadelphia, prepubescent tikes have a chance to dance the night away. These parties are a far cry from a dip in a ball pit and pizza at Chuck E. Cheese.
From Philly.com:
Tucked into a greige industrial shopping strip on a nondescript road in Voorhees is the hottest club you’ve never heard of. That is, unless you run with the in-the-know kindergarten crowd.
Just ask Olivia Oberle, who celebrated her fifth birthday with 23 of her besties at the Groove Lounge on a recent Saturday night. “I wish there was a place like this when I was growing up,” said Olivia’s mom, Anne Marie Oberle, as she handed out beaded necklaces to the kids. “I have to live vicariously through them.”
For three years, Cherry Hill resident Betsy Fischer has been throwing nightclub-style dance parties for the pint-size set in the South Jersey space that she has converted into a dance studio/club.
Her parties are miles away from shindigs at Chuck E. Cheese or the local lanes. Rather, they’re targeted toward the American Idol-loving, Just Dance Wii-gaming, Disney teen-worshipping generation.

BMWK family, what do you think of these parties? Would you throw one for your kids?

Again parents are living through their child. Whatever happened to children having an innocent childhood with those memories?
Gwen Jimmere says
Nothing wrong with this. The parents are present and it’s age-appropriate for the kids. I say, ‘why not’? I’d take my son and we’d have a blast.
Betsy says
Thanks, Gwen!
If you took your son to The Groove Lounge, I’m certain you would have a blast!! I am a New Jersey State certified Elementary Teacher and a Teacher of the Handicapped. All of the parties at which I entertain are age-appropriate – Hokey Pokey and Limbo for the little ones, and Top 40 and freestyling for the big ones. We entertain the kids in a cool, funky environment, not a babyish setting.
I hope to get to meet you and dance with you and your son some day soon…

I don’t think it’s an issue as long as it’s a child appropriate setting and it seems like it is. If I was married & had a child I wouldn’t have an issue

Make sure you know how long it requires to recover from a plastic surgery
process ahead of agreeing to it. Interestingly enough, pictures of her as a younger woman show that she’s adorable,
and post surgery she is just beautiful. There is no question that how
you look has an impact in the workplace.

As far as the contrast is not that absurd or simply unpleasing on the eye, you can combine several colors as
you require. You can conveniently switch the radiant cook
surface with grilling elements. You can also use tile as backsplash or can use them either in a traditional manner or diagonally.
