This resolution commends Moving in the Spirit, a creative youth development organization founded in 1986 in Atlanta that uses dance to empower underserved youth. The resolution highlights the organization's significant achievements over its 39-year history, including impacting over 5,000 children, forming partnerships with local community organizations, and receiving national recognition, such as a White House ceremony in 2005. The resolution emphasizes the organization's impressive outcomes, including a 96 percent increase in student confidence and a 100 percent high school graduation rate, with all seniors pursuing further education, vocational training, or military service. Moving in the Spirit opened a $10 million performing arts center in 2021 and has helped alumni succeed in diverse fields like Broadway, public health, education, and civic leadership. The resolution formally commends the organization for its outstanding contributions to youth development through the arts and directs the House of Representatives' Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to Moving in the Spirit.
