Learning the arts is fun, and fabulous for you!

Recent research shows that increases in arts educational experiences across dance, music and the visual arts, improve students’ academic, social and emotional outcomes while increasing empathy and college aspirations. Adults who participate in the arts show increased civic engagement and tolerance. Art is transformative fun!

Dance

In addition to our excellent hip hop and break dance programs, Jabberwocky offers a variety of other dance styles for dancers of all ages and abilities. Check back frequently for new class offerings.

Visual Arts

We teach visual arts at our weekly classes for middle-school English Learners at Oakland Middle School, during our annual summer public mural creation with paid teen interns working through the City of Columbia CARE program, and at visits of our Art Mobile to Columbia’s low-income neighborhoods each Saturday from April through October. Now, we are beginning in-studio visual arts instruction, too!

Jabberwocky is committed to making our programs available to everyone—regardless of income. We serve foster kids, immigrants, incarcerated youth and school children.
