What's Dancing For Birth™?

What if birth could be blissful, powerful, and life-changing instead of scary and painful? What if birth could make you feel more whole and more ready to care for your baby, instead of depleted or traumatized? It can!

Dancing For Birth™ is creating a huge shift in the way people give birth, and dramatically improving birth outcomes. We're a worldwide community and a growing movement to bring bliss and ease to birth through dance. Dancing For Birth™ is a mom-owned, social-entrepreneurship, small business founded in the USA in 2000. 

We are dedicated to elevating the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences of families and birth professionals all over the world, by holding the vision for, and creating, a radically different model of birth—based on our principles of movement, gravity, and instinct. Together we will co-create a birth world in which the laboring person freely moves around their space, is never restricted to be on their back in bed, and catches their own baby with the support and encouragement of their care provider. 

In service of parents and birth professionals we have a three-fold approach:

Dancing For Birth™ is a leading global class for pregnant and new parents. It's your trifecta of birth preparation: feel-good prenatal fitness, interactive childbirth education, and celebration of pregnancy, birth, and parenting, all rolled into a weekly 90-minute class that supports you from preconception through postpartum. Our moves are specifically designed for pregnancy and postpartum and are beneficial during all three trimesters and after giving birth as well. The classes take place on six continents and in many languages. Birth professionals and parents use our evidence-based childbirth method and signature moves like “Dilation Gyration” and "Powerful Woman" to make labor and birth shorter, easier, and more pleasurable.
