Featuring stories of male dancers and choreographers around the country, the #WhenMenDance campaign explores the experiences of men in dance, while revealing their own complex relationships with masculinity and the transformative power of dance to reimagine themselves and the world around them.


The Goal


Explore the experience of male dancers, as they fearlessly share thought-provoking stories and experiences

Diversify the way male dancers and choreographers are represented, revealing the many ways they, too, embody and challenge traditional notions of masculinity

Reveal the power of dance and its ability to act as a form of social resistance, while inspiring change both on and off the stage
