BOOGIE BABIES, The best mom and baby postnatal fitness class!
Fitness, Fun, and Friends!
Find your village and get a little sweaty with Boogie Babies!
what is boogie babies?
Boogie Babies is a joyful, low-impact postnatal fitness program for parents and babies aged 6 weeks to 4 years. It's a mom and baby class designed to get you moving, laughing, and connecting. Our classes use easy-to-learn dance routines to help build strength, boost energy, and bond with your baby - all in a welcoming, judgment-free space. No dance experience? No problem! Our moves are simple, fun, and made for everyone.
We offer three different types of classes based on your baby’s age and stage.
DanceFit is perfect for the youngest babies (6 weeks and up) who can be worn in a carrier - parents dance while the little ones come along for the ride. BUT Carriers are not mandatory at all! If you choose to hold your baby, or let them play on the floor, that is perfectly fine!
Flex & Strength is for babies who are too big to be worn, typically 8 months to 2 years, with a focus on floor work, lifting, and stretching using your baby as your motivation, and your weight for lifting!
Dance With Me is our class for toddlers 2-4 years old, where everyone joins in on the moves, dancing side-by-side and having a blast together. Everybody gets a great cardio workout, plus whole body coordination, balance, and strength.
Beyond the workout, these classes are all about community. You'll meet other parents, share stories, and find support through every phase of early parenthood. And your baby will love it too - dancing, music, and movement all help stimulate their developing brains and bring lots of joy.
Come dance, connect, and feel good. Boogie Babies is your village, your workout, and your happy place, all rolled into one.
DANCEFIT
For babies 6 weeks and up
This 60-minute class is designed for parents with babies aged 6 weeks and up. You can wear your baby in a carrier, hold them, or leave them to play on their own. Each session includes a warm-up, dance instruction with repetition, and a cool-down. You will learn unique and fun routines, set to upbeat, popular music, using moves perfectly suited to postnatal fitness and baby-wearing.
Beyond the movement, this mom and baby class fosters connections and community, providing a space to meet other parents, share stories, and seek advice. Classes take place at various dance studios around the GTA, or you can arrange private group sessions in your own home!

ADULT-ONLY classes
NO BABY? NO PROBLEM! Take an adult-only class!
These adult-only dance classes are designed for anyone who loves to move - or wants to love it again. Blending hip hop and jazz with a playful touch of Broadway flair, each class offers energizing, but easy-to-learn choreography, great music, and a supportive, no-pressure atmosphere.
Classes are intentionally adaptable. You’ll learn choreography that is accessible and easy to follow, with optional layers and challenges for those who want to push a little further. Whether you’re returning to dance after years away or simply looking for a joyful, full-body workout, you’ll be able to move at your own pace while still feeling challenged and accomplished.
Each one-hour class focuses on coordination, strength, cardio, and musicality - without taking itself too seriously. Expect to sweat, laugh, and leave feeling energized, confident, and proud of what your body can do.
Classes are offered in Thornhill and Toronto and are open to adults of all ages and experience levels.
flex & strength
For babies 8 months-2 years old
This 60-minute class is designed for parents with babies aged about 8 months-2 years, focusing on flexibility and strength through physical interaction; lifting, reaching, and moving with your baby. Without the use of carriers, the exercises and dance moves are done standing and with plenty of floor work. Each session incorporates dance moves that emphasize stretching and strengthening. This mom and baby class also features circle time, promoting babies' cognitive and social development, while fostering connections and community.
dance with me
For toddlers 2-4 years old
This 60-minute class is designed for parents with toddlers aged 2-4, focusing on cardio and flexibility through shared dance. Parents and children follow the same choreography - modified for their levels - building simple routines week by week. The group often moves together in circles or lines, encouraging interaction. Each class begins and ends with circle time, featuring songs, ribbons, balls, and other props for the kids, while giving parents a chance to connect and share.
PRESCHOOL AND DAYCARE
For toddlers 2-4 years old
Boogie Babies has an exciting and energetic, 30-minute, dance-based fitness class for 2-4 year olds. The kids are having too much fun to realize they are actively improving their gross motor skills, balance, and coordination. With new elements and activities each visit, the kids will never get bored. Weekly classes are a perfect addition to your daycare or preschool physical education program. Suitable for large or small class sizes. Reach out to learn more about these programs.

MEET DEB
Deb has been dancing since she was 4 years old and hasn’t really stopped since. She started teaching dance at 14 and kept it up all through high school and university. Over the years, she’s worn a lot of hats in the performing arts world - from choreographing and performing in 8 years of shows with the Unsung Heroes troupe to choreographing CHAT productions, to working with the Chicken Coop Theatre Company, where she eventually ran the kids’ division for 5 years.
Outside the studio, Deb received her honours degree in Kinesiology from Western (2001) and went on to earn her Occupational Therapy degree from Queen’s (2005). She brings a strong understanding of how the body works into everything she teaches. She’s passionate about movement, health, and helping others feel strong and capable in their own bodies.
When Deb became a mom (she has two kids - now teenagers, and three step-kids in their 20s), she taught mom-and-baby dance classes during both of her maternity leaves. That’s where the idea for Boogie Babies really took root - a way to reconnect with dance, move meaningfully with your baby, and build a community of moms who are in it together.
