Headliners Charlotte Live Music Comedy Bar & Grill

That kids party the whole family gets obsessed with. No Sitter Necessary: The Viral Family Dance Party is a high-energy, family-friendly K Pop dance party inspired by the movie and made for kids and parents who love a real party.
We play the biggest hits from the movie, then turn up the energy with a dance floor that gets the whole family moving. With a live DJ, on-screen lyrics, crowd participation, and a concert-style atmosphere, this is not a sit-down kids show — it is an immersive party experience built for families to enjoy together.
It is fun, upbeat, age-appropriate, and packed with the kind of energy that makes kids feel like they are part of the action while parents end up dancing right alongside them.
All ages are welcome. Movie fans will thrive. Costumes, fan gear, and dance moves encouraged.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/152841/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
