    What an amazing experience! A room full of people (sans cis men) who were there to just dance and have a good time. It was the first time I’d been to a club in 20 years and was surprised to realize it was the first time I didn’t have to be vigilant for my safety. The atmosphere was supportive, safe and full of people taking care of each other. Thank you for creating this event, I didn’t realize how much I needed it.

  • I have been obsessed with this concept and company ever since I learned about it. It’s GENIUS. I finally got to my first event this year and it did not disappoint. It was everything I’d hoped it would be, and more. The founder said it best; there is sheer magic in being able to come together and just move your body to music freely and without judgment. Happiness factor=1000.

  • My younger self loves to dance and sing out loud. My 51 year old self prefers the couch and a decent bed time. But this event was beyond all that I had imagined and more! First off seeing my charity of choice coincidentally being the recipient organization for the event and then dancing my heart out with my girls in an environment full of fun loving people! No drama. No weirdos trying to hit on you. Just a great time where it felt like we were all there just to have a good time and still make it home before midnight!

  • We had such a blast! Loved the chance to dance with friends — not worrying about male attention. And we got home before 11pm!

    This is exactly what I needed! Exactly what we needed! My girlfriends and I jumped, Roger Rabbited, aerobically danced, and stretched when needed :) Thank you for bringing us a space for joy, movement, and pure happiness. All I saw were smiles everywhere!

    I have been looking for something like this for a long time as I love to dance and I finally found this. I came alone but I didn’t feel alone. I had the best time and I already bought my next ticket in my hometown, although l will travel for this again.

    Absolute best night I have had in the longest time! Danced for 4 straight hours & can’t wait to go do it again! The vibe was amazing… cartwheels, dance circles, on point playlist. Hands down AH-MAZING!

  • Cathartic, positive, safe, joyful and so much fun to be dancing our hearts out with other women! We will be back, with more soul sisters to join the collective and beautiful experience. Cheers to Laura, Susie and Helean!

  • I wish I could bottle the energy of a room of hundreds of women happy, dancing, laughing, hugging and forgetting about the shit show they left at home. It was like a dream and I cannot wait to go back.

    Earlybirds is the best thing ever! Dancing is my happy place but, as a middle aged woman, I thought my dancing days were relagated to wedding receptions and bar mitzvahs. Then Earlybirds came to town! I go by myself, find my little corner of the dance floor and dance my butt off for hours. The vibe is friendly, the music is great and I’m in bed before 11pm. What could be better?

    I had THE best time dancing the night away with my friends! It had been years since my friends and I had gone dancing together and we can’t wait to do it again! Thank you for creating this space for community and joy!

  • I have no idea when I last went out and danced for four hours straight. No judgement, no dudes, no painful high heels. Just joy. Surprise: I was not prepared for the tidal wave of memories the music would release. Next time, my high school girlies need to be flown in and dance the (early) evening away with me.

  • As a trans woman I was so grateful to be among such a supportive, happy, fun group. The feminine energy in the crowd was wonderful to take in! I hope you will come back to Providence on a regular basis.

    I haven’t been surrounded by that much JOY in a while! I loved looking around at all the smiling, singing women dancing with zero inhibitions. Thank you for making this a reality for all of us who just wanna dance with somebody!

    I have so missed the energy of a pulsing dance floor … everyone just expressing joy with their bodies and singing at the top of their lungs amid the flashing lights. It was cathartic, refreshing, and lifegiving. Thank you, Earlybirds!

    I LOVED watching all the women old, young, and in-between shaking their booty, bonding with friends, living their best lives for one night … It was one of the best nights I’ve had in forever! Also, as the mother of a trans daughter I loved that you keep it open to all women. I hope to enjoy one soon with her!

    I kept turning around in every direction to see the sea of women dancing, singing, having fun with their friends. It really is rare and special.

    My favorite moment was the whole night! A night out at Earlybirds with high school and college friends was so good for my overall mental health. We used to LOVE to go out dancing in our 20s, and this really brought all of us SO MUCH JOY. We really had such a fantastic time dancing our hearts out. It was a great venue and crowd and an absolute blast!! I’m so thankful we were able to go and really hope we can go again! Thank you!!

    Earlybirds Galentine’s Day party was everything we never knew we needed in our lives! Singing every word to every song with 1,000 new best friends and dancing til we sweat through our sequins. Loved every minute.

  • Earlybirds Club mark

    Hard to pin down a favorite moment since the entire evening was such a blast. Everyone screaming at the top of their lungs to Charli XCX or Alanis? Mostly just being there with good friends, tearful, joyful and full of love.

    Catharsis, camaraderie, compassion, creativity, connection, courage.

    [I loved] Laura and Susie’s speeches from the stage, singing and dancing with my friends, just taking in the happy crowd from the stage to the balcony, all of the friendly strangers I met while in line for coat check, while getting a drink, and on the dance floor.

    [I loved] when everyone started jumping as soon as the beat dropped. The energy was loving, positive, and therapeutic.

    I loved so much of the night, but my #1 favorite moment was singing along with the entire room to Wilson Phillips at the end of the night–we all just need to hold on for one more day. It’s a call to action, a call to survive, a call to sisterhood–just hold on!

    ~ Partygoer

    It truly felt like time travel! I was suddenly back in my 20s with good friends heading out for a fun night. We got dressed up, pre-gamed (now at a restaurant with dinner and cocktails instead of shots at home), waited in line to get in (but briefly, and in warmer clothing!), and then danced our assess off (but bathroom, bar, and everything was SO much easier). We even went to karaoke after and still got home before midnight. Best time ever!

    The energy in the room was amazing and positive. There was joy and fun everywhere you look. I loved dancing without a care in the world and never felt judged.

FAQs

Can’t find the answer to your question here? Contact us.

In an attempt to cut down on scalpers and bots, many ticketing platforms don’t send your tickets until 24-72 hours before the event. If it’s past that window, contact the venue’s box office, who will likely refer you to the ticketing platform they use (AXS, Ticketmaster, etc.).

We don’t manage ticketing for our events* so unfortunately we are of no help when it comes to lost tickets. But from past experience, it’s often as solvable as checking your spam folder. 😉

* Except for Park West events in Chicago. For questions about tickets for those events, email us.

If a Chicago event purchased on DICE is sold out, you can sell your ticket to the waitlist. (Read more about refunds from DICE here.) Everywhere else: The venues that book us only offer refunds if an event is canceled. If you can’t make it, try to sell your tickets to another Earlybird on our Facebook community page rather than go through a third-party resale site like StubHub.

Our parties sell out really fast! If you’re subscribed to updates about your city, you’ll be the first to know when tickets go on sale. We always email our subscribers about ticket drops before we announce them on social media!

Other than some parties in Chicago, we don’t control the ticketing for our events. We are under contract with the venue, and they manage ticketing via whatever platform they use (Ticketmaster, AXS, etc.). When a party is sold out, most venues will not release more tickets, as “sold out” mean they’ve reached their sellable capacity. Feel free to reach out to the venue with any ticketing questions!

The good news: Many Earlybirds go on our Facebook community page to sell their tickets when they can no longer make it. And because our community is awesome, they will very likely sell their ticket to you at face value, unlike at reseller sites where the markup is outrageous!

If we don’t already have events in your city, the best way to get on the roster is to subscribe to updates. Choosing your city in the drop-down menu acts as a “vote” and helps us gauge interest in each city. Can’t find your area in the dropdown menu? Add it in the “Other City” field.

  1. Subscribe to email updates for your city. You’ll get a heads up 2-3 days before tickets go on sale, and you’ll get the ticket link the moment tickets are released.
  2. Make sure you have an account and are logged in to whatever ticketing site the venue uses before the 10am ticket release.
  3. Each venue has a different maximum number of tickets each customer can buy. If you are buying for a large group, check with the venue to make sure you can buy the number you need. If you need to buy more than the allotted number, recruit friends to buy tickets at the release time.
  4. If you followed all of these steps and you still didn’t get tickets, don’t despair! Join our private Facebook community—it’s very likely that other Earlybirds will be selling their tickets in the weeks and days leading up to the event.

We created Earlybirds Club as a safe space for women, trans, and non-binary folks (something that’s needed now more than ever). But people of all backgrounds and identities who are 21+ are welcome to attend all of our events.

You’ll hear hip-hop, pop, R&B, new wave from the 80s–2000s. One of the most incredible things about Earlybirds is that we have two to three generations of women on our dance floors, but that also means some music will resonate as the music of your youth, and some might not. If you want to get down to a specific genre (like hip-hop) or the songs of one decade (like 80s), look our for our theme parties. They’re a blast!

During our events, our DJs are busy mixing and cuing up songs, so requests are difficult to accommodate in the moment. Please don’t shout at a DJ at work! 😄  However, if you hope to hear a certain song, email us at least one week before the party date and we will see if we can fit it in.

We cannot emphasize this enough: Any time a bunch of people are dancing their hearts out together, it will get hot. (Especially when many are perimenopausal or menopausal 🔥) The venues blast the AC but there’s no getting around it—you will sweat, so dress accordingly.

Yes! All of our venues have a full bar, plus plenty of NA drinks.
