Organisation description: Dance Like a Mother CIC provide Fun, Inclusive and Unique Babywearing Dance Classes across Manchester, for Parents with babies aged 8 weeks to 18 months.
Each class is designed with the postnatal body in mind and is a fun and gentle way to get active, whilst also spending time bonding with your baby, by holding them close in soft structured carriers.
All our Instructors are Mothers and Babywearing Peer Support Trained. We can loan attendees carriers for class and fit them safe and comfy, or/and offer support with their own. We aim to promote the benefits and safety of babywearing to Parents; which has been shown to increase the bond between parent and baby, relax "fussy" babies, improve sleep and bring about feelings of wellbeing in both Parent & Baby.
Attendees don't need any dance experience, as all classes are taught in a relaxed way and are suitable for all fitness levels and abilities.
The Classes give parents (mostly Mums..but we do have some Dads too!) an opportunity to get active, have fun, build confidence and bond with their babies, in a non-judgemental and relaxed environment.
We currently have classes in 3 areas of Salford as well as Prestwich, Didsbury, Withington & Chorlton.
We are currently working on a project providing classes for Mums aged 15 to 19 years old in Salford, via funding we have raised through our classes.
All our To provide fun and inclusive 10 week Babywearing Dance class course, which has been specifically designed for parents aged 15 to 19 years, from pregnancy and with their babies aged 8 weeks to 18 months.
