NO! We welcome all dance abilities – from “I’ve never danced in my life” to “I’ve done Broadway shows” – and are happy to dance with anyone and everyone. We make our routines simple and accessible for all dance abilities and incorporate modifications based on each individual’s needs. Our main goal is to have fun!!!

We ask each participant to pay $35 (nonrefundable) at the beginning of each month, which covers unlimited classes for that month. Payment can be made online when you sign up for a membership or in person with cash. However, if any mama is experiencing hardship, please contact Allyson or Patricia and we will make arrangements for you. We don’t want cost to be a barrier for moms and want as many people as possible to join us. All our teachers are volunteers and are not paid for their time teaching and preparing choreography, so all payments go towards rental fees for the studios and other necessary costs (e.g., performance rental space, etc.).

Yes, absolutely. The first class is free for any newcomers who want to try us out.

At this time, we do not offer classes for children or teens. While we love our little ones and their enthusiasm for dance, we want to keep dance classes for moms only so that we can all dance without too many distractions. Kids who can hang out quietly (or occasionally dance along) on the side of the classroom or be self-sufficient in another room are welcome to come to the studio!

The short answer – yes! Some of our moms bring their children who sit in select spaces in the classroom or in a separate room while we have class. At this time, we do not have sitters at our locations though, so children should be of an age where they can be left alone or can entertain themselves. Also, if you are in need of childcare, please let us know and we will try to help. Some moms in the group have teenage children who may be available to babysit or some moms may want to make shared childcare arrangements. Allyson or Patricia will reach out to those needing childcare to make connections.

In addition to dancing together, we are a community. We host social events (e.g., movie nights, spa days, theatre outings) or plan to go to different local events together. We also perform for the public at schools, retirement homes, and community fairs. There are MOM-entum-hosted events such as our ‘Pop Up Classes’ and ‘Seasonal Dance Samplers.’ The main goal for this group is to build a safe and supportive community.

MOM-entum has an annual showcase where all the routines we have been working on are performed. We performed in the Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade, the Gaithersburg Labor Day Parade, the Frederick Holiday Lights Parade, and the Wheaton Arts Parade (three times!). In addition to parades, we have performed at elementary school international nights, regional competitions, senior living facilities, and community festivals. We also have genre-specific performances when those opportunities come up – for instance, our Bollywood Fusion mamas performed in Diwali Festivals and several competitions.

No, absolutely not!! You are welcome to just come and dance with us, and there is no pressure to perform anywhere. Honestly, you don’t even have to dance – you are welcome to just come and sit on the side while we dance if that makes you happy. 😊

Absolutely. We are happy to modify any dance moves you need us to, or even create a whole new option for you to do that works with your body.

Per studio policy, no outdoor shoes should be worn in the studio. Please bring either a clean pair of shoes to change into when you arrive, or you are also welcome to dance with bare feet or socks! This is to ensure that no outside dirt is brought into the studio. Wear clothing that is comfortable to dance and move in. No need to go out and buy new stuff!

Our volunteers are our life force – we appreciate any and all help you can give. We have had volunteers donate their skills (e.g., photography, videography, social media, baked goods), which has been very helpful. We also need volunteers who can assist with our performances (e.g., tech support, stage manager, etc.) or with our day-to-day administrative functions (e.g., fundraising). Send an email to momentumdancetroupe@gmail.com and we will get back to you. You can also send us a message on our Facebook page (link).
