Become a Certified Dancing for Birth Instructor or enhance and diversify your professional skills. Learn how to energize and empower women in the childbearing year. We’ll dance our way through a “language of movement” specifically designed to prepare for and facilitate birth and celebrate new motherhood.

In this dynamic, interactive workshop, you’ll experience innovative techniques to enhance your work with women during the childbearing year, learn how to use dance to facilitate birth, understand which moves are most effective and why, gain new strategies for active birth preparation, discover birth wisdom from ancient cultures and embody the joy of world dance forms. No prior experience required—if you think you can’t dance, all the more reason to attend!
