GLOW In Motion: Ages 9-12
GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) in Motion is Moving in the Spirit's intermediate-level training program for girls ages 9-12.
Created to empower young women, this training program encourages self-expression, increases students' dance technique, and cultivates positive identity and resilience.

All GLOW in Motion members sign a "commitment contract" outlining their goals and responsibilities for the program year.
