Hearts of Men (HOM), is a two week dance and movement workshop held on the campus of Montclair State University and will
offer classes in movement, improvisation, storytelling/sharing, repertory,
culminating in performances on September 6 & 7. This workshop is for men of all
ages (high school through 80!) and the only criteria is the love for movement
and at no cost to all participants!

WHY FREE?
Hearts
of Men recognizes
that many men, including male dancers, have few opportunities to collaborate
and share their artistic expression with one another. This workshop creates a unique community which will allow for the experience of movement, collaboration and creation for men of all ages.
Fredrick Earl Mosley, Founder and Director of Hearts of Men, says, “It is most
important for me to make sure that the cost of tuition and transportation does
not prevent anyone from participating in this transformational workshop.”

IMPACT/COMMUNITY
Mr. Mosley believes strongly in
mentoring young dancers and helping them decide what it is they wish to do with
their lives, whether it involves dance as a professional career or a stepping
stone to head in a positive direction. “I think dance is one of the best ways
to help young minds and hearts find their way in the world."
The goal of
HOM is to broaden
the learning process far beyond the performance aspect.
HOM wishes to help
these men grow in different ways as they learn from a variety of artists and
teachers currently in different genres of dance.

The HOM workshop allows the men
involved to share male-male relationships without hesitation, question or
judgment.
Hearts
of Men creates a
community in which everyone is welcomed in the process with an appreciation that
each age has its own value and wisdom and that spirit is the foundation and
essence of the Hearts of Men
project.
