Our Age Policy
Parish Nights is a young adult dance community created for ages 18–30s.
We built this space intentionally for our generation — people who are figuring life out, building friendships, starting careers, or settling into marriage.
It’s a space to meet others your age, have fun, and enjoy something active and social that doesn’t revolve around drinking or bars and nightclubs.
Why 18-30s?
Age groups exist for a reason. When everyone’s in a similar stage of life — college students, young professionals, newlyweds, or people new to town — the energy just feels right. You can connect easier, relax faster, and feel like you belong. Parish Nights works because it was made specifically for this stage of adulthood — where we’re all still learning, growing, and trying to find our people.
The Challenges Young Adults Face
In Lafayette, it’s easy to feel disconnected once school ends. Most social options for our age group involve bars or drinking, and if that’s not your thing, it can feel like there’s nowhere to go. Parish Nights gives young adults another option — a fun, affordable, and wholesome space to dance, meet people, and actually feel part of something.
Dance Opportunities For Older Dancers?
The majority of dance opportunities and dance venues in Lafayette all have an average age of 50 and up. These older dance communities are full of welcoming, talented people who’ve kept social dance alive here for decades. In fact, Rejuven8 Fitness Studio, where we host Parish Nights, offers excellent dance and fitness classes for older crowds.
