 Our workshops center around the importance of self-care and mental health. Through activities such as dance, yoga, and self-care strategies, we strive to help Black/Latino boys and men on their journey to self-discovery and understanding. We are committed to making positive change and creating a brighter future for our community.

Our 8-week therapy groups are led by a licensed professional and provide a space for Black/Latino boys and men to be seen, heard, and understood. The program meets online and provides an opportunity for them to engage in meaningful conversations and activities to help them build self-confidence and resilience. Through this program, we strive to empower Black boys and men to be their best selves and reach their full potential.

We offer accessible practice spaces across New York State for young men and boys to engage in various hip-hop dance styles after school. Our mission is to empower and equip young people of color with the tools and confidence to articulate themselves through movement. Recognizing dance as a potent form of expression, we are committed to establishing a secure and encouraging environment that fosters self-exploration and growth. Join us as we strive to provide a platform where young individuals can harness the power of dance for personal expression and development.

We are currently in the process of creating a documentary about how the education system in Ohio failed to protect students from sexual assault and the unique effects this had on Black male students from a low socioeconomic class. Through this documentary, we are hoping to bring light to the issue and create a platform for conversation and change.

We firmly believe that healing becomes a rite of passage within the battles, providing a powerful and impactful experience for youth as they navigate their personal and collective journeys. This is why 

Emotions Physical Theatre organizes numerous dance battles across the New York State area. Our hip-hop battles serve as a transformative platform for youth, fostering the growth and development of self-identity, emotional control, and community connection. In this space, young individuals channel their aggression into healthy and productive outlets, utilizing dance as a means of self-expression.

Through battles and workshops, participants delve into the rich history and cultural contributions of hip-hop to American culture, while also exploring its role in combating systemic racism.

Through our week-long events, we aim to bring attention to the issues faced by black men and boys today and provide them with resources and support. During this time, we have workshops, classes, and performances all centered around black male healing. We also have 6 choreographers and 10 male dancers who are part of the project. It is our goal to spark conversation about black men in healing and bring awareness to the challenges black men and boys endure. Join us to help make a difference in the lives of black men and boys
