Babe Club Silent Disco
Babe Club silent disco is a body-positive, inclusive, judgement-free, dance-based support group for parents of new babies AND PREGNANT PEOPLE.
These weekly, daytime silent discos for parents/carers (of all genders) and new babies (under 12 months) provide a fun and playful space for new parents to feel empowered and confident. It's also open to pregnant people who want a chance to try out Babe Club before their baby arrives.
There are no steps to learn, no pressure to dance if you don't want to, and there are two different channels of music, so if you don't like the music on one channel, you just switch to the other one.

How it works...
⏰ 9.45-10.00 ⏰
WELCOME AND WARM-UP
At the start of each session, parents are encouraged to come in, feed/change their babies and get themselves and their little ones comfortable. The facilitator will explain eveything and then lead a gentle warm-up to help you and your baby to settle into movement. You will be encouraged to do what feels right for you, and there is NO PRESSURE to do anything you don't want to.
⏰10.00-11.00⏰
SILENT DISCO
This is when you get to let loose and do what feels good. You can dance, you can sing, or you can sit back and watch and soak up the atmosphere. There are two different streams of music on two different channels, so you can explore dancing to different beats.
⏰11.00-11.15⏰
COOL-DOWN AND CHAT
At this point in the session we will start to wind-down the music and cool down a bit. Once the music has stopped (at around 11am) we will chat about what the experience was like.
