MUMMY MOVERS* | OPEN

Mummy Movers invites parents with babies in slings to rediscover their groove through the sheer joy of dance! Our mission is to provide a warm and relaxing space for you to connect with your baby while letting loose on the dance floor. We believe in the transformative power of dance – it’s not just about moving your body; it’s about uplifting spirits and fostering a sense of community among parents. At Mummy Movers, we create an environment where you can dance your heart out, bond with your little one, and build meaningful connections with other mums.

Babies from 8 weeks and onwards are warmly invited to join in the fun. Parents, please ensure you’ve had your 6-8 week check-up with your GP before participating in the class. The class is designed for babies to be worn in slings or baby carriers and the class tutor is trained and qualified in advising on safe and correct use of slings and carriers, should you require any support before or during the class.

*Any parent or guardian who carries their baby in a sling is welcome to participate in the class.

Term dates: Monday 28 April – Monday 14 July 2025
Bank Holidays and Half Term: There will be no class on Monday 5 May or Monday 26 May 2025
