Mom Dance Party Gives Moms a Night to Recharge (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Welcome to the Mom Dance Party. It is like 8.40 p.m. and the dance floor is packed. The moms are out.
[00:00:08] Speaker 2: The Mom Dance Party is thrown by Sarah Batani-Sams and Elizabeth Wellington. We can give you three hours of fun, and sometimes that makes all the difference in the world, to go back into mothering the next day. Makes you a better mom? Right, absolutely.
[00:00:21] Speaker 1: Are you ready to dance?
[00:00:22] Speaker 2: Thousands of moms have gone to their sold-out dance party since they launched in Denver in 2022, and they're now taking the Mom Dance Party across the country.
[00:00:30] Speaker 3: I think that it's a really hard moment for moms. Not only should you be able to take care of your family, raise the perfect child, keep them behaved in public, but also have a career that you want, and then also look great in your Lululemon pan. I'm not just that overstimulated, overstressed mom that's yelling all the time.
[00:00:48] Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I am fun. I am cool. This is great. We are awesome. What do you think moms need? Support. Money. Money. And a bunch of bad bitches. And a bunch of bad bitches. Thank you guys. It is 10.35 p.m., and the moms have shut it down. So now everyone can go home and get a very reasonable night's sleep. Yes, I am a mom. Yes, that's part of my identity. But it doesn't have to be the whole of my identity all the time.
