Join the Dancing Mamas Tribe!

DANCING MAMAS TRIBE HAS TWO DATES IN JULY!

What is the Dancing Mamas Tribe?

As the mom of a baby, and now of a toddler, I have had an insanely hard time getting out to a dance class. Seriously, even now I keep trying to get to them…and it just doesn’t happen. If there’s a morning class, there’s the childcare issue. If there’s an evening class, there’s transportation and bedtime to deal with. I want to go…but really, I make it out once in a blue moon (or, more specifically, twice in the past 3 years).

I don’t think I’m alone here.

Dancing Mamas Tribe was born out of my frustration. It’s time, space, and permission to show up with your little one(s) in tow and do your own dance with other mamas. No follow-the-leader. No nursery rhymes. No experience necessary. No such thing as “a bad dancer.”

Dancing Mamas Tribe is a totally judgement-free zone where all dance is welcome and all dancers are perfect just as they are. No need to get a babysitter (unless you want to) or worry about bedtime. Babywearing and nursing completely welcome. Pauses for diaper changes/potty breaks expected.

Come get your groove back with other mamas! I hope you’ll join me on the dance floor!

FAQ and important info:

What should I bring?
Bring your usual kid-toting paraphernalia, some water, and your beautiful, shining self!

What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you feel like dancing, whether that’s a skirt or yoga pants! Anything goes!

Do I have to be a mama to come?
Nope! ALL women are welcome, regardless of mamahood, age, and fitness level. If you want to come, I want you to be there. Just know that there will be kids there…if kids freak you out, this may not work for you.

What if I want to leave my kids at home?
DO IT! Come and dance on your own! It’s the same price whether it’s just you, or you and four kids. Do whatever feels best for you!

So…how does this work exactly?
We’ll start by gathering together in a circle, we will get centred in the space, and I will make encouraging noises (I am very good at encouraging noises). Then we’ll turn on the music and start with a couple of gentle songs to help us warm up. We’ll dance for just over an hour, and we’ll end with another circle. And yes, it’s totally fine if you can’t get your kids to stay in a circle. I know how that can be.

The point is to have a completely awesome and stress-free time. I will not “be mad” if you need to take a break at any point, or if you need to take your kid out for any reason, or if there’s a poop emergency or whatever. This isn’t your normal dance class, and there’s no learning curve or anything. So relax, and do whatever feels right in the moment. Take care of yourself and your body. And don’t forget to breathe!

There is no right or wrong way to do this. All you need to do is show up. It’ll be AWESOME.
