About Earlybirds Club

Laura & Susie, Earlybirds Club Co-founders

High school friends Laura Baginski and Susie Lee co-founded Earlybirds Club in 2024 with a mission to give people — especially women and gender-expansive folks — an opportunity to dance the early evening away without the late-night drama, judgment, or creeps.

Sadly, Susie passed away from breast cancer in August 2025. But Laura and Susie’s cousin Helean (EBC’s DJ and Music Director) continue Susie’s legacy by bringing Earlybirds Club to middle-age-ish folks across the U.S. who want to leave all their effs at the door and dance their hearts out.

As Susie liked to say, this is a place to remember who the f*ck you are.

Why Earlybirds Club?

Because everyone deserves a space where you can come as you are and feel completely safe to just … let go. No pressure. No pretense. It’s a joyful, movement-filled experience that feels nostalgic and welcoming—all wrapped up in a night that ends early enough for you to wash your face and get a full eight hours.

What Happens When We Flock Together

Our parties run from 6–10pm, so you can dance your face off and still be in bed before the weirdos come out.

Expect wall-to-wall bangers from the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s—think pop, hip-hop, R&B, new wave, house, and Latin.

But it’s more than just a dance party. Earlybirds Club is designed as a safe space for women, trans, and non-binary folks to be their truest, fullest, weirdest selves.

It’s movement. It’s music. It’s your kind of night out.
