Laura, founder of BabyDance with RealMama

LAURA • FOUNDER

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Laura.

I created BabyDance because I believe movement and music are some of the most powerful ways we can connect with our babies — especially in those early, overwhelming months.

I’m a Spanish nurse, midwife, and certified lactation consultant living in London. I used to be a Salsa teacher. After having my daughter Sofia, I noticed how few spaces existed where parents could move their bodies joyfully while staying close to their babies. I’m deeply passionate about motherhood, maternity and all things related.

So I created the kind of class I wished existed: warm, inclusive, rooted in real Latin rhythms, and designed so that both you and your baby feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
