See and hear the excitment
Joy of Motion Dance Center (JOMDC) believes that dance education does not only happen in the studio, but also through the experience of being in or watching a performance. To that end, JOMDC has an active production calendar of performances, concerts and events held throughout the year that provide unforgettable learning opportunities for our youth and adult students . In turn, these performances also provide enrichment for the community, and for many, a first time exposure to dance. Our performances are offered either free of charge or at affordable rates to make dance accessible to a broad audience. We make the experience of performance fun and present it at its artistic best. JOMDC productions are held at our own Jack Guidone Theater and many other theaters, schools, community centers and neighborhood festivals throughout the region.
