Earlybirds Club

Earlybirds Club is back at ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Friday, November 13, for a dance party built for women, trans, and non-binary folks. It's a night that puts the dance floor first, with DJ Helean on the decks from 6 PM to 10 PM.

Helean's set spans three decades, pulling from the 1980s through the 2000s. The selection runs across pop, hip-hop, new wave, and R&B, so you'll hear a mix of eras and styles rather than one specific sound. It's the kind of range that keeps the floor moving without sticking to a single lane.

The club frames itself as a supportive space where kindness, good vibes, and sensible footwear rule. It's a dance party meant for women, trans, and non-binary folks, and 10% of the proceeds always go to a local non-profit. That last part is a constant, not just for this one date.

It runs from 6 PM to 10 PM at ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, so it's an early-evening affair that lets you get your dancing in and still be home at a reasonable hour. If you're looking for a night that's as much about the community as the music, this is a good place to start.
