As a freelance dance teacher and mother of two very active young boys, I am interested in investigating the support that currently exists for parents working in the dance sector. I will be focusing on working mothers within dance, both prenatally and postnatally, and researching the state of maternal mental health and emotional wellbeing across the dance sector. I am hoping to develop strategies to support mothers in dance and to create some recommendations for improvements for the industry so that careers for those working in dance with children are possible and sustainable. This is something I feel very strongly about and am personally invested in due to personal experience and the stories I am privileged to hear from the mothering and dance community that surround me.
