Earlybirds Club: The dance party for women, trans, and non-binary people who have things to do tomorrow

Looking for a night out that fits your schedule and leaves you energized for the next day? Earlybirds Club is redefining the nightlife scene with dance parties tailored for women, trans, and non-binary individuals who have “sh*t to do in the morning.”

These events run from 6–10 PM, offering a vibrant atmosphere without the late-night fatigue.

What Is Earlybirds Club?

Founded by Chicago friends Laura Baginski and Susie Lee, Earlybirds Club emerged from their desire to relive the joy of dancing with friends without compromising their morning responsibilities. The club emphasizes inclusivity, self-care, and the therapeutic power of dance and community.

You can find Earlybirds here in Chicago, but also Providence, Boston, the Bay Area, and Seattle.

The Vibe

Expect a nostalgic mix of 80s new wave, 90s pop, early hip-hop, and 2000s hits. Signature cocktails like the “Hot Flash” add to the fun.

Upcoming Events

For Chicagoans, here are just a few coming up:

  • May 16: 80s to the 2000s at Beat Kitchen
  • May 17: New Wave Party at Reggie’s Rock Club
  • June 13: 90s Prom at Park West

Tickets often sell out quickly, so it’s best to join the waitlist or set reminders for ticket releases.

Earlybirds Club donates a portion of proceeds from every party to local charities that support women’s lives, extending their positive impact beyond the dance floor.
