Mom + Baby World Dance
Moms will dance to Latin American and African rhythms with babies safely in a wrap. Babies will experience the brain-maturing power of rhythmic movement as well as the comfort and assurance of being close to mom's heartbeat. Please bring your front or back carrier and we will help evaluate if it will work for class. Optimal carriers are soft carriers of the Moby Wrap style. With Kaeli and Simone

We will:
•learn how to support baby in a sling in a way that is safe for both mom's back and baby's developing body-structure.

•move in ways that provide baby with a "massage-like" movement experience reminiscent of their world in utero.

•move in ways that stimulate the integration of baby's base senses (vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile), which is an essential pre-requisite for most kinds of learning.

•learn how to access and exercise deep abdominal muscles (those that hold the belly in, pregnant or not) in a fun and stimulating way.

•sweat, have fun and dance, dance, dance...
