Dance Mama™ CIC advocates and celebrates professional dancing parents, highlighting the issues that they face and providing inspiration, information and support.

We are a UK-based ‘unique and vital resource,’ for a growing community beyond dance professionals. We raise awareness through vibrant content and resources, and pioneer research, professional development and learning activity for parents who dance.

Hailed a ‘life-line’ by participants, our flagship membership programme supports parents in dance through hybrid professional development opportunities. It includes access to over 50 hours of specialist webinars and workshops with world-class experts from across dance, science, sport and medicine including our award-winning Dance Mama Live series (supported by Arts Council England), produced with 10 national dance organisations. 

Our commitment to research and support for parents in dance across the globe is demonstrated by our own Research Advisory Group, Combined with Dance Mama co-founding the International Parenting and Dance Network (AHRC) with Texas Tech University (USA) and Queen’s University Belfast (N. Ireland) in 2021. 

At the heart of our work is learning from sharing experiences of parents in dance. This core value is born out of Dance Mama’s beginnings as a modest platform for stories uncovered whilst researching for an article Founder, Lucy McCrudden, wrote on becoming a mum and being dissatisfied with the lack of industry resources for parents back in 2014. The site now holds 80+ interviews with 26 as podcast episodes and has attracted McCrudden award wins and nominations for her contribution to advocating for parents in dance. Lucy shared the helix of her own story and Dance Mama’s development as a TEDx talk. Dance Mama is driven by this purpose-fuelled foundation to improve the lives of parents who dance for generations to come. 

We help parents in dance move their worlds.
