This is a holistic, dance-based support group for new parents that uses silent disco headphones to create an immersive experience. With no choreography to learn and no pressure to move, it serves as a sanctuary of body positivity, inclusivity, and empowerment. This unique class fosters an environment that encourages you to reconnect with yourself, discover joy in movement, and engage with a supportive community.

At the beginning of each session, parents are invited to take the time to feed or change their babies before settling them in a sling, carrier, or pushchair for the dance portion of the session. Our facilitator will gently guide you through what to expect, leading a warm-up to help you ease into movement. As the session progresses, you have the freedom to express yourself in whatever way feels most nourishing—whether that involves dancing, singing, or simply relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. With two distinct streams of music available, you can explore different rhythms and find the one that resonates with you.

As we near the end of the session, the music will gradually soften as we transition into a gentle cool-down. Once the music concludes (around 11 a.m.), we will take some time to reflect and share our experiences in a supportive and open discussion.

This course is a collaboration with Respair Therapy C.I.C.
