Musicals – who doesn’t love them? Okay, some find them cheesy, but I’d argue that movies such as La La Land and The Greatest Showman are the epitome of cultural entertainment. Music and dance are two things that never seem to fail to make the human heart sing and, with the days of The Sound of Music well behind us, we can look forward to epic musical and dance entertainment on the big screen as well as in our own backyards. Here’s some of the Best Music and Dance Entertainment in New York for your child’s party.

Silent Disco at the New York City Fire Museum
Bazinga Parties has partnered with the New York City Fire Museum to offer 3 varieties of kids’ silent discos.
Kids at Work
Each child is nurtured at their own level and introduced to vibrant sing-and-dance as well as cooking classes. Their party package include a 30 minute session with a singer-guitarist to get the children moving and singing, though they do stay for the entire 2 hour party. There is also plenty of time for cake and pizza AND bubble fun to end it all off. It’s a wonderful facility to introduce the children to educational learning classes through sensory-motor activities and movement classes.

Faqs:
What is the best dance for kids to start?
It depends on their personality. Jazz is for kids who love to perform and has a lot of big movements, whereas ballet is a big draw for girls who are gentle but also strong willed. Hip hop and tap are other popular dance styles that children try.
