About this class
Baby Sensory West Fife runs at The Dance Studio on Lyneburn Industrial Estate, with classes on Tuesdays and Fridays throughout the school term. The Tuesday session is 10:30–11:30 for ages from birth to 13 months. Leah leads the West Fife franchise, which covers Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, and Kinross. Sessions are £9 each and sold in blocks. The Summer Term runs 1st June to 2nd July; a provisional Summer Special follows from 20th July to 7th August; the Autumn Term begins 24th August.
Each session follows a structure grounded in Dr Lin Day's research, moving through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, and sensory exploration of textures and scents — all paced around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. Music is central to every class: original songs composed by Dr Lin Day sit alongside traditional rhymes to support early speech and language, and sensory signing gives babies and parents a way to communicate from very early on. The sensory area is set up to match the distance at which a young baby focuses, and every instrument has been measured against a safe decibel threshold. Each session ends with sounds that mimic the womb.
Summer Term themes at West Fife give each week its own character — sessions include an Aloha Hawaiian Adventure, a Jelly Party, and an African Sky theme. The wider programme draws on 40 core lesson plans plus 28 seasonal and special-event additions, so there is real variety across a term. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point; the session is built to accommodate a baby's needs, not the other way around. For newborns from birth to 3 months, the Hello Baby sub-programme offers a separate, observation-led introduction that sits alongside or ahead of the main classes.

What happens during a session?
A class works through creative play, baby massage, tummy time, movement, and sensory exploration — textures, scents, lights, and music all feature. Original songs and traditional rhymes support early speech and language, and sensory signing gives babies a way to express themselves from very early on. The session follows a baby's natural play-rest-play rhythm and ends with womb-like sounds that help babies wind down. Sessions have a detailed lesson plan behind them; Summer Term themes at West Fife include an Aloha Hawaiian Adventure, a Jelly Party, and an African Sky.
Do I need to worry if my baby needs a feed mid-class?
Not at all. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session — there is no expectation to keep pace if your baby needs a moment.
