HOW DANCE MAMA WAS BORN
Meet our Founder, Lucy McCrudden, and how she came to create Dance Mama through her own lived experience of being a parent in dance.
"This transformative programme gives many parents across the sector and beyond access to high quality, tangible and bespoke support.
It’s a much-needed opportunity that removes the barriers so many parents face to developing their dance careers, simply because of their circumstances."
Lucy McCrudden, Founder/CEO, TEDx Speaker
IS THIS FOR ME?
Dance Mama is committed to being inclusive for parents from all backgrounds working in dance and extends this definition beyond performers to those working in studios and off-stage in professional contexts including state and private education. Yipee!
We warmly welcome participants who have had to step away from the industry for a period of time due to the pressures of parenting (this was a driver for the project) as well as welcoming those with sustained careers to build further on their skills with the potential for all participants to make connections that will be of benefit to them and the industry.
Disclaimer: Always check with your healthcare practitioner before starting a new activity programme. You are responsible for your health and safety. Dance Mama is not liable for any injury or harm sustained whilst taking this programme. If you are a new parent, you will not be eligible to take part if you have not passed your 6-week health check. This opportunity is only availble to people aged 18 years or over.
Just £8.99 pcm + 1st month free!
