In June, we were thrilled to launch our first and very special Mother and Baby classes at the Clare Novaes School of Ballet. These classes, designed to foster a unique bonding experience between mothers and their babies, will recommence in September 2024 and booking will be available soon.

However, we don’t want to wait until September to start supporting our wonderful community of mothers. That’s why we’re taking an extra step to welcome beginners and babies to our mixed-level adult ballet classes, running on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm throughout the summer.

At the Clare Novaes School of Ballet, we understand the transformative power of dance and celebrate the beauty of movement. Our mixed-level classes are tailored to create an environment where mothers can enjoy ballet while their babies are close by, providing a safe space where mothers can continue with their love of dance and movement. Our classes are designed to be inclusive, welcoming dancers of all ages and abilities; whether you are a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, you’ll find a supportive and encouraging community here.

The Benefits of Ballet for Mothers

Engaging in our ballet classes offers numerous benefits for mothers, both physically and mentally:

1. Physical Fitness: Ballet is an excellent way to rebuild strength, improve posture, and increase flexibility after childbirth. It’s a full-body workout that helps tone muscles and enhance overall fitness.

2. Mental Well-being: Dance is not just a physical activity but also a mental escape. The focus and rhythm required in ballet can provide a meditative break, reducing stress and boosting mental health.

3. Community Connection: Our classes offer a chance to connect with other dancers, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. Being part of a community that understands the challenges and joys of motherhood can be incredibly uplifting.

Creating a Strong Community

At Clare Novaes School of Ballet, we are dedicated to building a strong, supportive community of dancers who uplift each other through every season of life. By welcoming mothers and their babies into our summer classes, we aim to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels included and valued.

We believe that dance has the power to connect, heal, and inspire. Our inclusive ballet classes are more than just lessons; they are a space for mothers to rediscover their passion for movement, all while fostering a deep connection with their babies and fellow dancers. Whether you’re looking to return to dance or try it for the first time, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to support you.
