This Mum Moves

This is an awareness-raising session about the Chief Medical Officer guidance for pre and postnatal activity in the UK and how we can apply it to dance contexts.

Created by Active Pregnancy Foundation and Institute of Health Visiting, Dance Mama leads this session for dance professionals only who are working directly with colleagues or participants who are either expectant or people who have birthed, taking you through the current CMO guidance.

Participants gain access to the exemplary digital tool kit in addition to the knowledge gained in the session (and a certificate!).

We are unique in being able to provide this opportunity in dance at the moment and it is a great step forwards for the sector in considering how to approach and support the pre/postnatal population when they dance.

Our Founder/CEO, Lucy McCrudden, delivers these sessions, bringing her expertise from her 20-year career in dance, her PhD knowledge and lived experience as a mum to empower and give agency to the dance sector to support and work with parents with confidence and facts.
