Music and dancing is great fun for infants and parents and also plays an important role in helping develop your relationship with them.
Designed for under 2s, Boogie Bairns uses the power of music and other sensory experiences to create a focused time for parents to bond and connect with their infant. The time spent together responding to sounds and movement is also a chance for you to learn how your little one communicates.
