Culture | Wellness | Community
The Mojuba Center for Dance & Culture is a home for the arts, movement, memory, and possibility for all.
Our mission is to reclaim dance and the arts as a practice of joy, healing, and resistance—rooted in African diasporic traditions and propelled by Afrofuturist imagination.
We gather bodies and work across generations to create, move, remember, heal, and dream forward together.
Movement. Memory. Joy. Futures.
Located in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, the Mojuba Center for Dance & Culture is a community-based artistic home dedicated to joy, healing, resilience, and cultural expression through African diasporic dance, music, art, and embodied practices.
Mojuba is more than a dance studio. It is a space where:
-
Movement is medicine
-
Culture is honored and evolving
-
Bodies are welcomed as they are
-
Community is built through rhythm, story, and care
We offer 6-week themed modules for youth and adults, centered on emotional, spiritual, and cultural themes.
