Open 350 days a year for classes, rehearsals, performances, and arts education programs, Joe’s Movement Emporium is a hub of cultural and community activity. The largest independent performing arts center in Prince George’s County, Joe’s keeps at-risk kids learning, moving, and creating. A safe after-school haven for youth ages 5-13, Club Joe’s offers arts activities that nurture self-confidence and self-esteem. Performing Arts Summer Camp for children 3-13 (the day runs from 7am to 6pm) focuses on in-depth study of cultures and their art forms. For teens, the Theater Tech Program teaches the basics of working backstage along with academic and employment skills training, and a year of follow-up support. Joe’s also matches school teachers with local artists who enliven classroom lessons by infusing arts into the curriculum. And year-round, anyone can swing by Joe’s for classes in yoga, hip hop, ballet, jazz, and tap, or a dance concert in the intimate 150-seat theatre. There’s great synergy between artists and residents at Joe’s: together they build community and arts and kids – for everyone’s greater good.
