The Men in Motion company helps boys ages 10-13 to develop confidence and leadership skills through dance and movement. Activities are specially crafted to engage the unique energies and interests of young men who are ready to be a part of a team!
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.
