TIMES Article: Earlybirds, a roving dance party that ends by 10 pm, caters to 40 and 50-something women
Laura Baginski co-founded the Earlybirds dance party: "she’d always harbored a dream of hosting a dance party. It would be a safe, judgment-free zone geared toward women, trans and nonbinary people that would end before most clubs even open their doors, because — as the Earlybirds website now puts it — grown women “have things to do the next morning.” (Except the site uses a cruder word than “things.”)".
Saucy!
But it is important to have a safe space to dance.
"Holly Ferriera, a 55-year-old artist and belly-dancing teacher who wore a fascinator of her own design, said she typically goes dancing at gay clubs, where “you can just be yourself.” She echoed the thoughts of many attendees: “You need space to be free.”"

I don't know a single person who would ever attend such a gathering, nor would I want to.

If an R3 falls in the woods, would anybody know? Would anybody care?

I don't know about that whenever they have these Sadie Hawkins dances at the senior center there's always a broken hip or some other fracture!

I’m guessing every other wirey, unkempt head of hair is dyed blueI and the dance floor has more pairs of open-toed sandals than a Birkenstock factory.

The stench of rancid patchouli oil and week old sweat comes through the screen when looking at the opening pic.

r4 would have called Studio 54 in 1979 to ask if it was a "safe space" and if they held space for non-binary people, before slamming down the phone and bursting into tears!

R11 must be older than dirt if he/she/it remembers Studio 54.
Didn't octogenarian fossils like David Geffen hang out there?

I didn't say I remembered it, I was using it as a comic example of a famous nightclub that even the dullest knives here have probably heard of. Have you ever been to a nightclub?
Are you always such an exhausting bully? Your nasty ageism doesn't make me feel safe.

Ehhh, they're doing their own thing and not harming anybody. I am sure they'd feel out place going to a 20something club.
