"By encouraging a birthing person to dance, we empower them to actively participate and rejoice in their labor, to embrace labor's unique rhythm and unfolding, to love their pregnant body, and to trust in their baby's and their own inner-knowledge of how to birth. The euphoria they experience will spill over to infuse their parenting, and their life with joy." - Stephanie Larson, Founder of Dancin
