your mom said she didn’t want anything for mother’s day. she’s lying 🚁🌷
teamed up with @flyhelichicago to give moms a moment they’ll actually remember. from may 8-10, every flight comes with fresh flowers and a card so you show up with the whole moment ready to go.
use code LETSDOFUNTHINGS at checkout and they’ll throw in a free photo package too, because memories like this deserve more than a blurry phone pic.
this one’s for the moms who say “don’t make a fuss.” make a fuss anyway.
book the flight. bring the mom. let her feel like the main character for once.
go to @flyhelitours to book

We’re so excited to bring some new choreography to the table with a special guest teacher this time 🤭 As always, no previous dance experience is required and a portion of the class will be for learning some basics that will then be incorporated into some simple and fun choreography.

cultured. // bollychata edition
thursday, april 30
one night, two rhythms, zero dance experience required.
we’re mashing up bollywood and bachata for a language exchange that moves. learn a few hindi phrases, pick up some spanish, then put it all together on the floor with beginner-friendly lessons in both styles. no partner needed, no skills needed, just curiosity and good shoes.
stay for the social after. meet people who actually want to talk.

once a month, we’re turning our weekly game night into liar’s night at @duffyschicago who knew a room full of bluffing and lies could be so fun?
we’re filling the tables with fan favorites like Coup, The Chameleon, and Werewolf, plus more favorite deception and party games designed to spark conversation, connection, and maybe even a new frenemy our two
whether you’re a mastermind or are still working on your poker face, this chicago social deduction night is the place to be
