Any dancer mums here ?

Not quite the same level of dancing you’re probably used to, but are there any sling and dance classes near you? I did this for 10 weeks to two years with my son. It was so lovely to have him join in with the music and movement. Shame I’m not able to do it with my daughter as they don’t run the classes in my area anymore.

I'm not a serious dancer, but when my little guy could still be set somewhere and not really go anywhere under his own power, I would set him on the floor near me and do yoga while he watched me. He mostly liked watching it. You could try doing a short routine while he's on the ground or in a playpen nearby, hanging out with you. You could even dance with him, if you're open to that kind of improvisational thing.

I go salsa and bachata dancing on Friday nights- they hold free lessons at the club then social dancing till 1. From 4m pp I did a Zumba and Pilates class twice a week at 7pm, for 2yrs. Then when he was 2 and started sleeping through I started my salsa that was 4yrs ago I go most Fridays and it gives me a social life as well and I get to dress up. If you like day classes you can try to find a gym w a crèche they should have Zumba there. My salsa teacher also opened up a mummy and me salsa/bachata class for mums to babywear and dance during the day while still teaching adults on Friday nights.
