Message from the Director:

At the Enhanced Men’s Training Program we support and encourage gentlemen from all backgrounds to explore and participate in the art of dance. Boys from across the globe come together each summer to train at the EMTP, and each boy has a unique relationship with the art form and possesses his own passions and aspirations. It is the mission of the EMTP to applaud these things. No boy should ever feel alone or like an outcast for wanting to dance, for taking dance classes, or for wanting to become a professional dancer.

Many boys encounter bullying that compels them to leave dance behind or to feel shamed. I should know, I was one of them. I encountered my fair share of bullying in elementary and middle school - simply because I loved to dance.

Age-old stigmas about men’s participation in dance are completely out of touch with reality and should not be reinforced. People in positions of power should not use their influence to demean, defeat, disrespect, or shame others who possess passion or curiosity about dance.

Dance brings joy to countless boys and men worldwide. Many pursue avenues into professional dance, while others simply enjoy the many scholastic, cognitive, physiological, and social rewards that dancing provides them. The EMTP does not support the use of adversarial language that encourages ignorant views pertaining to boys and dance. Instead we encourage boys to pursue their passions and to enjoy dance to the fullest, for however long they invite it into their lives.

Boys, keep dancing. We’ve got your back.
