Dubai, UAE – October 2026: Remember the days when a great DJ, a proper house track and a dance floor full of people were all you needed for a brilliant afternoon? FamilyBeatz is bringing that feeling back – this time with the kids in tow.
On Sunday 22 November, Dubai’s homegrown, family-friendly dance party returns to Al Habtoor Polo Resort, its original home, for an afternoon of house music, dancing and family time that doesn’t involve a soft-play ball pit.
Headlining the afternoon is DJ E.M.A, the UK-born, Dubai-based DJ and producer whose career spans Glastonbury, Parklife, Space Ibiza and a win at the Ministry of Sound DJ Search in 2024. Known for feel-good vocal house and high-energy sets, she brings the kind of club soundtrack parents will recognise and children can discover for themselves.
FamilyBeatz is aimed at parents who still care about the music. Those who remember clubbing weekends, know their house classics and would happily spend an afternoon on the dance floor – if only they didn't need to organise a babysitter first.
This is not a children's party with a DJ added as an afterthought. It's a proper family rave, built around the music, with a welcoming atmosphere where parents can dance, children can join in, and nobody has to wait until bedtime to enjoy themselves.
From toddlers discovering the dance floor to former clubbers rediscovering their moves, FamilyBeatz makes space for the whole family to enjoy the experience together, with a family-conscious approach to sound levels and an emphasis on making the event welcoming for younger guests. The little ones can enjoy face painting, glitter, arts & crafts, bubbles, balloons at no extra cost.
Founded in 2022 by parents and lifelong music lovers, FamilyBeatz brings together two worlds that rarely meet: the energy of a great dance party and the reality of family life. The idea is simple – parents shouldn't have to leave their love of dance music behind when they have children.
So leave the late-night clubbing to someone else. Bring the kids, meet other music-loving families and enjoy three hours of house music in the sunshine at Al Habtoor Polo Resort.
