In Moving in the Spirit’s Men in Motion company, boys ages 10-13 learn values, build confidence, and develop professional skills through dance, music, and mentorship. Activities are specifically crafted to engage the unique energies and interests of young boys and provide a creative outlet and camaraderie!
Founded by Chris McCord, an alumnus of Moving in the Spirit, this program is rooted in mutual respect and helps young men cultivate resilience, accountability, and positive self-identity.
Men in Motion students:
- Train 1 hour 30 minutes minimum, weekly
- Take classes based in hip hop dance, athletic cross-training, and creative movement styles
- Build relationships with male mentors from a variety of professions
- Gain exposure to music through rhythms and instrumentation
- Learn to improvise and create choreography with peers
- Train with guest artists who conduct workshops, set choreography, and serve as role models
- Have opportunities to participate in multiple performances throughout the school year
- Are eligible to audition for the Moving in the Spirit Ambassador Team
All Men in Motion members sign a “commitment contract” outlining their goals and responsibilities for the program year.
