Karate
Dance Party

A goofy, high-energy music extravaganza that gets people moving and turns chaos into cardio.

Watch the Party

Kids don't watch the show.
They become the show.

Within a few songs, the room is usually full of dancing, bubble-chasing, lyric-screaming kids showing off increasingly questionable ninja skills and absolutely no interest in standing still.

About

Who/What Is Karate Dance Party?

My college self was convinced I'd be an alt-country heartbreaker. I played in bar bands for years — until I came home after a late gig one night, started noodling a riff that sounded vaguely pirate-y, and accidentally wrote a song about a pirate and a robot battling on Mars.

That was 15 years ago. It was the beginning of something I did not see coming.

I went on to front a kindie group called The Que Pastas. Then COVID hit — aka The Weird Years — and I started playing Zoom shows under the name Karate Dance Party, writing original movement songs designed to keep kids genuinely engaged for a full 45 minutes. When the world came back, I kept going. Turns out there's nothing quite like watching a room full of kids completely lose it in the best way possible.

That's still the whole point.
