Mom&BabyDanceFlow will be guided by dance instructor Anthea Browne and yoga teacher Jayme Hernandez. Together they have created a beautiful combination of relaxation techniques and energetic movement.
Class Description:
During Mom&BabyDanceFlow we will explore our innate and fundamental rhythm of moving. We will allow our children’s natural wisdom to guide our flow. When we return back to our essence “becoming child like” we can dissolve tension, become creative, and best of all enjoy life as it is.
While exploring ourselves through fast and slow movement, cardiovascular exercise and stillness, we will work our entire physiology. We will gain the ability to remain calm and present to whatever mood our baby is in. We will let go, have fun, and move to the flow of the music and baby.
Ages: Newborn to crawling
Dance and music styles: African, Latin, jazz, contemporary, Hawaiian, belly dance, Bollywood
Dads or caregivers are welcome. There is limited space for strollers so we suggest bringing your child in a carrier or a small umbrella stroller that is easy to fold and carry.
