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.
