Born to Dance is Exhilarating!
Join us every Sunday at The Womb Room for Born to Dance, a weekly celebration of movement, connection, and community designed especially for caregivers and their babies.
This lively babywearing dance class invites you to get moving with your little one securely snuggled close in a carrier, all while dancing to fun, upbeat music that lifts your spirit and energizes your body.
No dance experience is needed - whether you’re a seasoned mover or just looking to shake off the week’s stress, you’ll find a supportive, judgment-free space where the focus is on fun, bonding, and joyful expression.
Each class features a mix of simple choreography, rhythmic swaying, and plenty of smiles as you move together with your baby and other caregivers.
Please bring your own baby carrier - any style that provides good support and keeps your baby safe and secure against your body. Babies should be worn heart-to-heart and must have good head and neck control to participate.
Please note: This class is for one caregiver and one baby only. To keep the space safe and focused for everyone, we ask that no additional children attend. Baby must be worn in a carrier to participate—thank you for understanding!
Born to Dance is more than just a dance class—it’s an opportunity to connect, build community, and experience the uplifting power of movement together. Come dance, carry, and connect with us every Sunday!

Benefits of Joining a Babywearing Dance Class
Babywearing dance is a joyful and dynamic way for new parents to reconnect with their bodies, bond with their babies, and support their postpartum recovery—all at the same time. With your little one safely snuggled in a carrier, each class offers gentle, rhythmic movement that helps rebuild strength, improve posture, and ease physical tension after childbirth.
Many postpartum bodies experience core weakness, tight shoulders, and pelvic imbalance. Babywearing dance supports healing by incorporating low-impact cardio and mindful movement to strengthen the body gradually while reducing common issues like back pain or fatigue. Dancing with your baby close encourages body awareness, enhances coordination, and promotes controlled breathing, which can be deeply grounding in the early months of parenting.
Beyond the physical benefits, babywearing dance classes offer much-needed time for self-care. Moving to music can lift your mood, reduce stress, and support emotional well-being—especially when you’re navigating the ups and downs of new parenthood. It’s also a fun way to boost energy and even support better sleep quality.
And just as importantly, this class creates a sense of connection—not just between parent and baby, but among caregivers. Sharing space with others who are in a similar stage of life can foster community, friendship, and a deeper sense of belonging during a transformative time.
Core and Pelvic Floor Recovery
Pregnancy and childbirth can significantly weaken the deep core muscles, including the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor, which are essential for supporting the spine and pelvic organs. Babywearing dance offers a gentle, low-impact way to begin reactivating and strengthening these muscles through rhythmic movement, posture awareness, and functional engagement—all while keeping your baby close in a secure carrier. Dancing while babywearing encourages core engagement and pelvic alignment in a way that feels natural and sustainable. This supportive approach can help restore muscle tone, improve balance, and reduce the risk of common postpartum concerns like pelvic floor dysfunction, lower back pain, and urinary incontinence. By moving intentionally with your baby, you not only rebuild foundational strength but also make everyday movements feel more stable and comfortable.
Mental and Emotional Well-being
The postpartum period often brings a mix of joy, stress, and emotional ups and downs as new parents adjust to major hormonal shifts and evolving responsibilities. Babywearing dance offers a powerful outlet for emotional release and nervous system regulation through movement, music, and connection. The combination of rhythmic dance, close physical contact with your baby, and upbeat, energizing music helps boost mood, reduce anxiety, and support emotional well-being. This kind of mindful movement strengthens the mind-body connection, allowing parents to tune into how they’re feeling both physically and emotionally. Each class offers dedicated time for self-care and confidence-building, all within a supportive, shared space. Dancing together in community can ease feelings of isolation and help parents feel seen, uplifted, and recharged during this transformative stage of life.
Posture and Physical Alignment
New parents often fall into postures that strain the neck, shoulders, and back—like hunching over during feedings, rocking baby in awkward positions, or carrying little ones on one hip. Babywearing dance supports better alignment and posture by encouraging upright, intentional movement while baby is worn securely against the body. The gentle choreography and focus on body awareness help retrain posture in a fun, functional way, reinforcing healthy movement patterns that translate into daily life. As you dance, you naturally engage the core, support the spine, and reduce tension in overworked muscles. The movements also promote flexibility and joint mobility, helping to ease stiffness or discomfort that can linger after pregnancy. By practicing good body mechanics in class, new parents build strength and awareness that helps prevent chronic pain and promotes more easeful, efficient movement throughout the day.
Navigating the postpartum period is a deeply personal journey, filled with both joy and challenges. Babywearing dance, rooted in joyful movement and connection, is thoughtfully designed to support the unique needs of new parents during this transformative time.
Through dancing with your baby securely snuggled close, this class offers more than just physical activity—it helps improve posture, gently re-engage core and pelvic muscles, reduce stress, boost mood, and foster a deeper sense of body awareness. It’s a playful yet purposeful way to support both emotional and physical recovery after childbirth.
Every postpartum experience is different, and while babywearing dance can be an uplifting and healing part of your journey, it’s also important to stay connected with your healthcare providers to ensure you’re receiving the care and support you and your baby need.
