New Orleans Arts & Culture House
Inspired by Culture. Moved by Rhythm. Styled with Soul.
Welcome to JFDU & Co.
Where creativity, wellness, and opportunity come to life.
JFDU & Co. is a vibrant creative ecosystem rooted in Algiers on New Orleans’ Westbank, what we proudly call the PEARL.
Since 2014, we have created spaces where young people, families, artists, and aspiring creatives can move, create, perform, connect, and grow. What began as Jazzy Fusion Dance Unlimited has evolved into a multidisciplinary arts and wellness enterprise designed to nurture the whole person and create pathways for creativity, confidence, and opportunity.
Under the JFDU & Co. umbrella, our work comes to life through distinct experiences that work together to create a larger vision for our community:
The Wellness Collective powered by Ballerinas of the Bayou
Our nonprofit community hub uses movement, arts, wellness, mentorship, education, and economic opportunity to support youth and families. Through The Wellness Collective, we create spaces where young people can build confidence, discover their talents, strengthen their wellbeing, and develop skills for their future.
JFDU Creations
Our custom gifts and apparel division, bringing creativity off the stage and into everyday life.
JFDU Creations specializes in custom apparel, gifts, keepsakes, event merchandise, and creative products designed to help individuals, organizations, schools, businesses, and special events tell their story.
SoundHaus Music Studios
Our music and media experience designed for artists, musicians, vocalists, producers, and emerging creatives.
SoundHaus provides a creative environment for recording, music development, collaboration, and exploration. Giving artists the tools and space to transform ideas into sound.
More Than a Dance Studio
While dance is where our story began, JFDU & Co. has always been about much more than dance.
We believe creativity has the power to build confidence, strengthen communities, support wellness, and open doors to opportunity.
Our experiences span dance, music, theater, visual art, photography, film, creative production, custom apparel, and gifts, creating a connected ecosystem where creativity can become a skill, a passion, a business, or a career.
Whether you're a young artist discovering your voice, a family looking for meaningful creative experiences, an artist developing your craft, or an organization looking for custom creative products, there is a place for you at JFDU & Co.
Create. Connect. Express. Grow.
Welcome to the PEARL. Welcome to JFDU & Co.
Through the arts, our students evolve...
From “at-risk” to at-promise.
From “underserved” to unapologetically thriving.
From invisibility to intentional celebration.
