Fiscal Sponsorship & Mentorship
We provide access to funding resources for emerging dance artists and companies.
Dance New Jersey serves as the fiscal sponsor to accepted individual dance artists and companies who do not yet have 501(c)3 status. The artists temporarily utilize Dance New Jersey’s non-profit status to solicit charitable donations, while receiving professional mentorship.
Participating Artists Currently Include:
iDance Ministry
iDance Ministry provides unique and impactful dance experiences along with special performances, classes, choreography and Hip Hop Teacher Certifications. We have recently signed two international dancers for special projects centering around mental health, race, healing and faith. Our dancers are mentored, given leadership opportunities and participate in special dance projects such as a Disney World performance, a NY Fashion Week performance, the McDonald's Gospelfest , community service and a Hip Hop Opera. We are most known for our signature Hip Hop Experience Dance Curriculum and Hip Hop Dance Teacher Certification. However, iDance also offers training and choreography in Contemporary Dance, Dancehall, Stepping, Jazz, Lyrical, HBCU Dance, Street Jazz, Liturgical and more. Under María Daniel's leadership, iDance has received four mayoral proclamations, a Director’s Award (from Dance the World Disney), an Outstanding Director Award (from Dance Ministry Magazine), the “Hip Hop Dance Ministry of the Year” award and recognition as an “Impactful Organization that Goes Beyond." We are more than a dance program. We are an "experience." Follow @idanceministry
