More than 150 women have already signed up for the next Maman Va Danser, a women-only evening of nostalgic hits, stand-up comedy and dancing that comes to Twiga Monte-Carlo on Thursday 26th November and, by design, finishes at midnight.
Organised by the Monaco parenting network entreparents in partnership with Nice-based Grenadine Family, the evening runs from 7pm to midnight. Despite the name, motherhood is not a requirement and all women are welcome.
The event’s previous Monaco edition, as reported by Monaco Life, was a beach party at Neptune in Larvotto last September.
A BREAK FROM THE MENTAL LOAD
The organisers say the idea is to address the responsibilities that follow women from work into their homes, from remembering appointments to organising family life and keeping track of schedules.
“Between work, family, and everyday life, women often put themselves last,” said Johanna Damar Flores, president and co-founder of entreparents. “With ‘Maman Va Danser,’ we wanted to give them the perfect opportunity to take a breath, laugh, and reconnect with one another, without feeling guilty.”
Those everyday pressures will also be the subject of a set by a surprise stand-up comedian, touching on relationships, motherhood, work and life as a woman.
BACK TO THE CLASSICS
The soundtrack will focus on the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, with Madonna, the Spice Girls and Britney Spears among the artists on the playlist. DJ Francis Key will open the evening before DJ Magmay takes over at 10pm.
A photobooth and glitter bar will run alongside the music, while a vintage telephone will invite guests to record messages about their mental load.
For Grenadine Family, which organises activities for children and parents, the partnership extends its work to an evening for women themselves. The organisers also point to the many mothers who live in Nice and work in Monaco, balancing a cross-border commute with family responsibilities.
Tickets cost €20 and include one drink. Bookings can be made through Weezevent or by emailing hello@entreparents.mc, while dinner tables are reserved directly with Twiga.
