Birth can be like a marathon and Dancing for Birth™ prenatal/postpartum belly dance classes prepare you for the challenge. You'll become stronger, more agile, more at ease with your pregnant body and both mentally & physically ready to embrace your unique birth experience. You'll learn moves inspired by Belly dance, African dance, Latin dance and interpretive movement. It's a feel-good workout that challenges yet relaxes you. No experience necessary!

At the same time you'll be learning valuable childbirth preparation skills and natural pain coping techniques that will build your confidence in your own birthing ability. Did you know that there is an optimal position for your baby to be in when labor begins and you can help assure that position? Dancing for Birth™ participants report experiencing low levels of discomfort, few or no interventions, brief labors and high levels of satisfaction during their births.

You'll regain your pre-pregnancy shape and tone more quickly when you attend Dancing for Birth™ classes after your baby is born. Optionally, bring a sling or carrier and wear your baby while you dance! Babies love the motion of dancing and are easily soothed by being held while you dance.
