“I’ve been dancing and working with Moving in the Sprit for over twenty years. I dance because it is a universal language that allows people to discover each other, discuss issues and work through challenges. When I was younger, dancing taught me that I had more discipline than I thought, and that anything is possible. Dancing gave me an opportunity to explore struggles I was facing in my life through movement. Now when I dance, I want audiences to see that having hope and passion is key to succeeding in life. I started a program for boys at Moving in the Spirit called “Men in Motion,” because I want to give the younger generation the same opportunities I had. To be a man, you need to have another man to look up to. Dancing in a program for boys gives young men the guidance and male mentors they need, and really changes their lives.” – Chris McCord
