Anna Blanc and Christina Reynolds, two moms from Kansas City, founded "Shuffle Mamas", an online shuffle dance business while navigating motherhood during the pandemic. They taught themselves to shuffle dance in a garage, often with their children around. Balancing home responsibilities, they found dance as a way to destress and connect. With a strong online presence, they emphasize the positive impact of dance on mental health and community building among moms. Their journey illustrates the profound benefits of physical activity and friendship.
Anna says she appreciated how moving her body "made a difference in my mental health" during Reynolds' discovery of shuffle dancing on TikTok.
Shuffling became a safe place to de-stress, heal from trauma and grow in confidence," they wrote in the caption to a video posted to their Instagram account, "Shuffle Mamas."
Away from our kids! A sacred hour," Reynolds, whose kids are 14, 9, and 5 months, tells TODAY.com.
There are so many pulls on your time ... between kids and school - so we get together for 'our time,'" Blanc, 42, the mother of three children ages 13, 11 and 8, tells TODAY.com.
