About Dancing Beans (and me, DJ Ralphy)

Dancing Beans started for one simple reason: I genuinely love working with children.

For over 20 years, I’ve been entertaining kids at birthday parties, school discos, and special celebrations — and I still love what I do. Children’s parties aren’t always easy, but they are always fun, and I believe they should be enjoyable for everyone, not stressful for parents.

I’ve entertained children of all ages, from Reception through to Year 6, and I always adapt each party to suit the age group, the space, and the children themselves. Parties are built around inclusive, non-elimination games, plenty of encouragement, and lots of chances for everyone to join in — no pressure, no embarrassment, just happy, confident kids having fun.

I also know how important it is for parents to feel relaxed and confident about who they’re booking. For peace of mind, I’m Enhanced DBS checked and registered on the DBS Update Service, and I bring a calm, friendly, and professional approach to every event. Alongside running Dancing Beans, I also work as a part-time nursery practitioner, so supporting children, understanding their needs, and helping them feel safe and confident is part of my everyday life. And I’m also a licensed chaperone with Surrey Council for children involved in performing arts, a role built on care, responsibility, and trust. Parents regularly place their children in my care in busy, high-energy environments, and that same level of attention and reassurance carries through to every Dancing Beans party — from how I speak to children, to how I manage excitement levels, to making sure no one feels left out or overwhelmed.At its heart, Dancing Beans is about creating fun, joyful memories, while giving parents the comfort of knowing their children are in safe, experienced, and caring hands.If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys children’s parties and treats your child’s celebration like it really matters — not just another gig — I’d love for me and my team at Dancing Beans to be part of it.
