Partnering Babies

internet source: so much fun with Salsa Babies
It is known that music exposure to babies is beneficial, it is also known that baby gym will too bring advantages to them. Now if there is something you can merge the two into one, I believe it will be wonderful. And if this is going to involve not only the babies but also the parents can take part in, wouldn't it be amazing?

Right after a dance-loving mom giving birth to baby, the new mom gets extra pounds in belly but she can no longer gives attention to herself as she is too busy buzzing around the infant. She is stressed, she is depressed, she is not only losing the look but also losing the self-esteem. I always wonder why dancing ladies can't keep on dancing after they have babies. Dancing is a good exercise which is also good for kids, why can't dancing be good to babies too?

So I kept on dancing with my boy in his cosy sling until he got a bit heavy for me. Well, it seemed that there was only me doing dance workout with my baby. As a dance instructor, I already have dance classes for kids, another parents/kids dance class will be launched this summer. However, the most I want to do is to expand it to parents/babies. I believe this is beneficial to both the mom and the baby, I did it myself, and I felt glad that I did it, so I want to share this joyful experience with all the dancing moms.

In the past years, I have been putting effort in dragging more parents onto the floor, and I have two conclusion drawn from what I have observed. Some parents do not mind to spend time just sit aside and watch, some parents prefer to join a class of their own partnering with another grown-up either man or woman. Well, just none say yes to partnering with a significantly shorter and less experienced child even though they are also beginners themselves. With much effort, I finally can launch my parents/kids dance, I just wonder when can I achieve my ultimate baby mission.
