The 2nd Monaco edition of “Maman Va Danser” is happening this Thursday, September 18, at Neptune Plage in Monaco.
Inspired by a Berlin concept, the unique aspect of “Maman Va Danser” lies in its 100% female focus, creating a safe and energetic space where women can dance, socialize, and reclaim a part of themselves away from their daily responsibilities.
The event has quickly gained momentum across France since early 2025 as an alternative to conventional nightlife.
“We’re excited about this upcoming edition and have already sold over 120 tickets,” says Johanna Damar Flores, president and co-founder of entreparents. “The first ‘Maman Va Danser’ took place in May and was a resounding success. It brought together a vibrant community of more than 100 mothers and women who were eager to unwind and enjoy a night out.”
From 7pm to midnight, the beach party with a serious emphasis on dancing, drinks, DJs, and fun, can be accessed at an affordable entry fee.
And mark your calendar for the 4th edition of “Let’s Play Halloween” which will take place on Friday, October 17, again on the Larvotto Promenade at beach level.”
Although Johanna remains tight-lipped about this year’s theme – “It will be revealed soon!” – the celebration will feature the famous candy hunt, in partnership with the shops and restaurants along Larvotto, a mini-Halloween dance party, a cooking workshop, games, a baby-friendly area, a face painting station, and, of course, the presence of Halloween mascots. “Ticket sales will open very soon, so stay tuned!”
Johanna co-founded entreparents with Émilie Sabatié, Anna Campbell, and Clémence Perrin back in May 2021. There has been a significant evolution since it became an official association, with an expanding member base (their Instagram community is approaching 2,500 followers) and enhanced offerings, like the “Family Friendly Wednesdays” gatherings to better meet parents’ needs in spaces designed for them to connect.
“We still believe strongly in the power of collaboration,” says Johanna, “and we had the pleasure of co-organising the ‘Let’s Play, Carnaval’ event this year with the Mairie de Monaco – a first – that brought together numerous families at the Place d’Armes.
“Additionally, we co-organised a conference on digital parenting with the British School, Action Innocence Monaco, and the Digital Services Department of the Government. This is an important topic that we will continue to address alongside the mentioned entities.”
Looking ahead to 2026, entreparents plan to extend the their network beyond the age of three (details to come). “We also want to offer more get-togethers for the English-speaking communities. And, furthermore, we are working on the Parenting Support Committee and are in the process of creating a wonderful event for our 5th anniversary in June 2026.”
Johanna admits the entreparents app, still in “Version 1”, needs to evolve to meet the changing needs of the parents in our community since the network’s creation. “We are considering conducting a testing phase with users to introduce new features and optimise usability. Currently, users can find live discussion groups, an event calendar, and a step-by-step guide covering the journey from baby to three years old, complete with key information.”
Johanna, Émilie, Anna and Clémence remain a dedicated team, and continue to work collaboratively to best support the families in our community. “We’ve also brought together some amazing mums who have initiated wonderful projects for the network, such as the Pre-loved Clothing Swap and Sharing Circles.”
Johanna adds, “One might think that the size of the Principality facilitates mutual support and the creation of networks for expectant and young parents. However, with over 180 nationalities coexisting at different social levels, we find that feelings of isolation are very real in every parent’s story at some point.
“This is where we come in: we strive to ensure that no parent feels alone. Our mission is to foster connections within our community, value everyone’s role, restore confidence, listen, inform, support, and harmonize the existing ecosystem. Our ultimate goal is to make parenting support a priority topic.”
An entreparents membership is a one-time payment of €50 per family. Email hello@entreparents.mc for more.
