Baby & Me

Baby and me dance classes in downtown Halifax

A follow-along carrier class for parents and babies, exploring movement to upbeat music.

About the style

Baby & Me Dance is a follow-along class exploring movement to upbeat music, designed for parents holding their babies in their arms or a carrier. It is all about positive energy, physical activity, and community building.

No dance experience needed: just follow along, step out and back in whenever you or baby need a break, and meet other parents while you move. Feeding, cuddles, and pauses are always welcome. A fun workout for you, a happy outing for baby, and a lovely way for new parents to find community in downtown Halifax.

What to bring

  • Comfortable, breathable clothing with optional layers for warm-up.
  • Clean, indoor sneakers.
  • Refillable water bottle.
  • Small sweat towel, if desired.
  • Baby essentials (diaper bag, carrier, and anything else your little one needs).

Good to know

For parents and caregivers with their babies, no dance experience needed. Baby & Me runs as a pop-up series, so check the schedule below for the current dates.

Common questions

Do I need a carrier?

Any safe, well-fitted carrier you're comfortable with works, whether that's a wrap, a sling, or a structured babywearing carrier. Holding baby in your arms is fine too.

Is there a change table?

Yes, there is a designated space in the washroom.

What if my baby cries or needs me?

No worries! Step in and out any time to take breaks, feed, or cuddle. Breast or bottle feeding is always welcome.
