Research by MIND shows 2 in 5 men regularly feel worried or low. Men are struggling with their role in society, body image, confidence, the impact of toxic masculinity & fears for the future. Men often face pressure to suppress emotions, leading to untreated mental health struggles. There is limited access to support and the systems can be a barrier. Men in Motion offers a powerful, non-verbal way to process emotions, reduce stress and promote physical and mental well-being in a safe space.

We use dance as a powerful tool to build relationships with people, engage them in a programme of growth, increasing confidence and personal aspiration. Men in Motion takes a holistic approach that integrates dance, mental health support and community building. We will provide free to access weekly movement sessions led by professional male dancers in a safe and supportive environment. Men of all ages will come together to share their experiences and create dance that tells their story.
