Dance for Pregnancy @ WOW Family Center

For pregnant mothers who are expecting between July & November and who want to learn practical exercises to prepare for childbirth, dancing, connecting with your baby and making new friends, finding strength in each other along the way.

~ Price is 116 euro for all 4 sessions (1,5h per session, 6h in total)
~ No experience in dance is needed. Everyone is welcome!

The classes will be taught in English.

The program includes:

• Dancing for childbirth: soft movement work out to increase flexibility in the pelvic floor through grounding music rhythms.
• Listening session: dancing to a selection of music that has been designed to sharpen the early listening of our unborn babies. Feel free to bring a song that you would like to listen during labor.
• Breathing techniques for labor.

What you will find here:

We will create the space for ourselves to connect with the moment of birth in the company of other expecting mothers, finding empathy and support in each other, and share the joy that is there to celebrate during this hour and a half of empowering dances.

It is most recommended to practice these exercises on a regular basis during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. For this reason, we encourage those who would like to, to join these sessions on a weekly basis, in order to make these dances and movements your own.

Not ending here, you are welcome to follow up with the group and meet each other again during the postpartum dance sessions!
