D A N C E
Bboy/ Bgirl Sessions provides a large, clean hardwood dance practice space that draws an average of 60-70 dancers per session alongside several trained J.U.i.C.E. facilitators. The young dancers mentor one another in various freestyle dance forms.

M U S I C
DJ/ Turntablism
provides open record players for young people to learn deejaying techniques from our DJ mentors.

Music Production and Recording Workshops
offers participants the opportunity to learn the basics of music production software and hardware, to create beats, samples and recordings of their own material.

Emcee Cipher and Rhyme Writing Workshops are designed to introduce participants to the art of spoken word, poetry, rhythm and rhyming, stage presence and microphone control. J.U.i.C.E. hosts a monthly open mic night called Word Nektar which has garnered sponsorship from the California Council on the Humanities, California Stories Initiative.

V I S U A L  A R T S
Mural Works
is a project designed to teach participants basic art concepts such as line, shape, color, texture, and composition. In addition to understanding the basic elements of art, consistently attending youth are given hands-on opportunities to participate in workshops and murals projects with a breadth of artists who have contributed to the public art movement in Los Angeles. Throughout these sessions, the participants design a mural that, at the culmination, is painted on legal walls donated by local businesses. Participants are mentored and guided by professional artists.
