2013-2014 Annual Report

Page 2: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

I hear this declaration often at Moving in the Spirit. It’s expressed by students when their peers give them encouragement during a particularly hard time. It’s voiced by parents when they form unexpected friendships while waiting for their children to finish class. It’s revealed by alumni who have forged lifelong bonds and now watch their own children dance together.

Our donors are our family as well.Ralph Edwards, an entrepreneur and community leader, was introduced to us ten years ago. He is a Principal of EBS Property Investments, a commercial real estate company he built from the ground up. Having had strong mentors throughout his career, Ralph knows firsthand the importance of giving back. Over the years he has harnessed his connections to open many doors for Moving in the Spirit. His Founding Fathers giving circle has raised over $100,000 for our Men in Motion program.

And it doesn’t end there. Philanthropy is an Edwards family value. Ralph's eldest daughter Colie, a dancer, began volunteering as a teacher in 2005. It wasn’t long before she was asked to join our Board of Directors and chair our much-loved Holiday Store, where students use “points” they earn in class to “buy” gifts for their loved ones. Colie engaged her sister, Tyler Gardner, to help co-chair the event. Over the past nine years, the sisters have generated $163,000 in donations for the Holiday Store and impacted over 1,800 children.

The donors cultivated, the events hosted and the funds awarded from the Edwards Family Fund have added over $1 million to our bottom line. Yet, what touches me most is the way the Edwards family personally connects with our young people.

“We are a family.”

Page 3: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

I remember several years ago when Colie choreographed a work for our teen company. Autumn, a first-year member, was cast in the most demanding role and felt insecure and anxious about her ability to perform. Colie encouraged her and took time to give her extra practice, all the while saying, “You got this. You can do this.” She never gave up on Autumn, and when the show finally arrived, Autumn performed flawlessly.

With our new year underway, our classes are full and we are embarking on the next phase of our strategic plan, which focuses on accommodating our growing family and preparing for a strong future.

All of our success we owe to you, our donors. Our work together has impacted thousands of lives, and we now have the opportunity to impact thousands more. The journey ahead will be full of excitement and challenges, and I know in my heart we will be successful.

After all we are a family, and we can do this.

With love,

Dana Marie LuptonExecutive & Artistic Director

Ralph Edwards and his daughters, Tyler Gardner and Colie Neidlinger.

The Apprentice Corporationby Brianna Heath, age 17

Moving in the Spirit has taught me to not be afraid of my goals, not be afraid of my dreams, and to just do it. For me to step out on faith and say, ‘This is what I’m

going to do,’ has freed me.

Before I came to Moving in the Spirit, I’d always been taught there’s only one way to do

something. Then last year, I had the opportunity to work with many wonderful guest artists, including

Roscoe Sales (Atlanta Ballet), T. Lang (Spelman College), Lillian Ransijn (Ground Delivery Dance) and Amanda Lower (Northwestern University). Working with such diverse choreographers opened me to new perspectives in life and dance.

I continued to grow on our summer tour, because we took classes with new artists and performed for new people. We went to Rocketown in Nashville, Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga, and Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. The tour team became my brothers and sisters who I can go to even now and say, “I need help with this.” Part of our tour was teaching conflict resolution workshops to other teens. In Berea, I bonded with one young lady who shared her story with me.

We collaborated with Youth Creates at 7 Stages Theatre for the Atlanta part of our tour. Their teens did the production design. To see kids my age analyze a dance piece and then make it look like a professional show just blew my mind. I think audiences left the performance feeling inspired and empowered to go and do something extraordinary.

Program Highlights & Impact

Page 7: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

The Junior Companyby Trinity Mosley, age 12

Because the Junior Company is an all-female company, it really puts an emphasis on girl power. We talk about what it means to be a girl and how we relate to society -- at home, in our communities, and outside in the world.

We also learn about compassion, how to carry ourselves professionally, and how to be respectful toward one another. Now, since I am more confident in myself, I help other girls boost their self esteem. It just branches out.

The Apprentice Corporation is Moving in the Spirit’s most advanced program. Teens ages 13-18 take on leadership roles in the organization and study modern dance, ballet and choreographic composition.

Page 8: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

Last year, we got to work with female dancers from Atlanta colleges. We went to Emory University and had the best experience. We learned about impactful female dancers throughout history and experimented with their styles. There was collaboration between the college students, Junior Company members and Lori Teague, the dance director at Emory. In the spring, Agnes Scott College hosted us for our very own Junior Company show, You Grow Girl. The dance director, Bridget Roosa, and all the dance majors were really hospitable and encouraged us to not be nervous. We felt so energized from the crowd that night. It encouraged us to keep going and know that we’re on the right path.

I am so happy I auditioned for the Junior Company, because I would not be the dance student I am today without it. I wouldn’t have the technique, the drive, the passion -- nothing. And I would not be the academic student I am today. It has really, really impacted me.

The Junior Company reaches young women ages 9-12, providing modern dance and female-focused leadership training.

Men in Motionby Toren Mosley, age 11

In Men in Motion, I learned about flexibility and sportsmanship. We bond together as if we’re all a group of brothers. It’s fun because your friends here don’t put you down. They bring you up. It makes the performance that much better because you trust people.

We had our own Men in Motion show, and I think it proved to everybody that all guys can dance. We had two guest artists come and help us with our show. One was an all-guys hip hop group, TrickaNomeTry, from Emory University. We went to Emory to work with them as a whole team, and we each gave ideas about what to do for our piece.

Men in Motion serves young men ages 10-13, providing modern dance training and exposure to male mentors.

Page 10: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

Blake Dalton was our other guest choreographer. He had a cool martial arts style, and he loved to help us. He understood us and he listened.

We also performed in The Wonder Years at the Rialto Center for the Arts. We wanted to knock the socks off the audience. In one part, we did a trick we made up called the mockingjay, and I saw the audience smile in awe.

A big part of Men in Motion for me was public speaking. When I was a little kid, I was shy and wouldn’t talk much. I came to this program, and I’m not shy anymore. It changed me a lot in positive ways.

Stepping Stonesby Rania Mirza, age 10

My favorite thing about our teachers was that they pushed us. If some dancers were having trouble learning the steps, the teachers would tell other students to help them. It pushed all of us to work harder, and it certainly helped me grow as a leader.

The most important thing I learned in Stepping Stones was to be confident. It’s good to be nervous sometimes, but you shouldn’t get too scared to try something. Even if you mess up, just keep on going. I also learned a lot about how to position myself and how to show clear movement through my posture and core.

For The Wonder Years show, we collaborated with our teachers on a topic for our dance. One dance was about two groups that fight against each other, then join together to fight for a cause. Another was about being segregated and then being united. We each got to come up with our own steps, and our teachers combined them and added parts to make the whole dance look good. I was nervous to perform, but when I stepped onstage I was excited because I got to express myself.

Page 11: o r t - Moving In The Spirit

Stepping Stones is Moving in the Spirit’s most expansive program, offering one-hour weekly dance classes to young people ages 3-18 at our home theater, the Beam, and at Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club and Our House.

We keep coming back because Moving in the Spirit has such a positive impact on our kids. They display all the qualities Moving in the Spirit instills: leadership, maturity, individuality. Not just the individuality to do something different, but to express themselves and speak out in their own voice. We always hear comments, especially about Nandi, that she’s a leader and not a follower of her peers, that she knows her own mind, that she steps up. No one believes she’s only 12 years old. There’s no other program you can go to like this, with such a family-oriented environment and caring staff. You can just feel the positive spirit.

(L-R) Nandi (age 12, Moving in the Spirit’s Junior Company), Hope and Thomas Thompson. Children (not pictured)Jasmine (age 23, U.S. Navy), Darion (age 19, Alabama State University) are also Moving in the Spirit alumni.
