    Dance Mama in Conversation with The Dad Shift

    In celebration of Father’s Day 2025, join Dance Mama Founder/CEO, Lucy McCrudden, as she meets Alex Lloyd Hunter, Co-Founder of The Dad Shift – a campaign for better paternity leave in the UK. You may already realise that the UK’s statutory maternity leave is the worst in Europe with only 2 weeks paid at less than half the minimum wage. On 11th June 2025, the campaign held the DadStrike to raise awareness and inspire change, and previously they strapped baby carriers with dolls to statues of men across London including Gene Kelly which caught the eye of his wife and creator of the Gene Kelly Legacy, Patricia Kelly, who was very much in support. Pre-recorded before DadStrike, Alex discussed this particular issue, with Lucy bringing the specific challenges for Dads in dance to this conversation. www.dadshift.org.uk/ www.dancemama.org
