Mama Grooves is a low–medium impact dance class designed especially for mums and their babies. You’ll be guided through simple, choreographed routines set to a fun, uplifting playlist, no dance experience needed! With your baby safely snuggled in a carrier, you can enjoy moving your body, lifting your mood, and taking some time for yourself, all while keeping your little one close. This is a completely judgement-free space. There’s no pressure to keep up, get things “right”, or be at a certain stage in your fitness journey. You’re always welcome to go at your own pace, take breaks, feed, settle your baby, or simply pause when you need to.

Mums who are ready to gently return to movement after birth (usually from around 6 weeks postnatal, or 8–12 weeks after a C-section, but always listen to your body and any medical advice)  Anyone looking for a space that focuses on wellbeing, connection, and enjoyment — not “bouncing back” Mums who want to meet others, feel supported, and do something for themselves too

A supportive, ergonomic baby carrier (please see 'Babywearing' FAQ's for more information) A drink. Staying hydrated is especially important in the postnatal period Anything you and your baby may need (nappies, muslins, snacks, comfort items, whatever helps you feel at ease

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and able to move freely. There’s no need to wear “activewear” unless that’s your thing, come in whatever you feel good in, whether that’s leggings, joggers, or your usual everyday clothes.   We do recommend wearing comfortable trainers to support you while we dance and move.   It’s also a good idea to dress in layers, as you'll likely warm up once we get going (especially with a little one snuggled up to you!).   Above all, this is a relaxed and welcoming space—there’s no dress code, just come as you are

There’s no strict upper age limit for babies or young children attending, everyone is welcome as long as you feel comfortable carrying them and they’re happy being in the carrier for the duration of the class. As babies get bigger, many people find that back carrying becomes a more supportive and comfortable option, but this is entirely up to you and what works best for your body and your baby. For younger babies, the main consideration is your own recovery. We recommend waiting until you’ve been medically cleared to return to exercise, which is usually around 6 weeks postpartum (or slightly longer depending on your birth and recovery). This also means your baby will typically be at least 6 weeks old and able to be carried in a suitable, well-fitting carrier. If your baby was born prematurely, it’s a good idea to consider their adjusted age and check in with your healthcare professional before attending to help you decide what feels right for you and your baby.

The safety and comfort of you and your baby are always the priority. All movements are designed with postnatal bodies in mind, with options to adapt or reduce intensity Babies remain securely positioned in a suitable carrier throughout the class As a qualified babywearing peer supporter, I will support you in ensuring your carrier is safe and correctly fitted You are encouraged to listen to your body at all times and rest whenever you need If you have any specific concerns (e.g. pelvic floor symptoms, abdominal separation, or anything you’re unsure about), please feel free to reach out before attending — I’m always happy to chat.

Booking is simple through our online portal. You can select your preferred time slot, fill in your details, a health questionnaire and complete your payment via secure checkout. You'll receive a confirmation email with all the class details immediately after.

I understand that life with little ones can be unpredictable, so I aim to keep things as flexible as possible while still running classes smoothly. If you need to cancel your place, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me the chance to offer your space to someone else. Cancellations made with more than 24 hours’ notice can be transferred or credited towards another class. Unfortunately, cancellations made within 24 hours of the class aren’t eligible for a refund or transfer. If something unexpected comes up, do feel free to get in touch, I’ll always do my best to help where I can.

You are more than welcome to step aside, take a moment for yourself or settle your little one, and rejoin when you’re ready, no pressure. I will have a small area set up for nappy changes and feeding.
