HELPING DANCE MAMAS MOVE THEIR WORLDS
We believe that just because you start a family it doesn't mean you have to stop moving. We empower parents who dance to blend their caring responsibilities with their artform. We can support you in a variety of ways so you can be inspired, be informed and stay connected.
