MOVEMENT FORMOTHERHOOD

Sling Dance is a 45-minute class built around one simple idea: you shouldn't have to choose between moving your body and being with your baby. You dance with your little one carried close — in a sling during the postpartum months, or still on board if you're pregnant. Every routine is low-impact, with no jumping or shock loading, because you're already carrying the extra weight.

It isn't a technique class, and it isn't for dancers. There are no steps to get right and nothing to keep up with. It's 45 minutes of good music, a room full of women at the same stage of life, and a reason to feel like yourself again.

WHY SLING DANCE?

✓

Rebuild fitness after birth without leaving your baby — the class works around their feeding and sleeping rhythms, not against them.

✓

Reconnect with your own body after pregnancy, at a pace that respects what it has just done.

✓

Dancing and music lift mood directly, and the room gives you real company — both matter in the postpartum months.

✓

During pregnancy, it supports posture, circulation, and breathing as your body changes week to week.

✓

Babies tend to settle in the sling — the movement and closeness often mean calmer sleep and easier digestion.

WHO IT'S FOR

1

New Mothers

Come back to movement gently, with your baby in the sling and other new mothers around you. No childcare to arrange and nothing to prove.

2

Pregnancy

Stay active through the changes of pregnancy with low-impact movement that supports posture, circulation, and your bond with your baby.

3

Babies

Held close and gently rocked for 45 minutes, most babies find the class deeply calming — many simply fall asleep partway through.

4

Any Level

No dance background is needed, and there is no choreography to learn. If you can move, you can join the room.
