DNJFest
DNJFest ‘25 to be announced!
Experience Dance New Jersey’s reinvented annual festival! DNJFest ‘24 featured movement classes in Salsa, Bollywood, West African, and Capoeira. First Look Auditions offered college students and NJ professionals a platform to showcase their talent to NJ-based dance companies and non-union companies in the NYC-Metro area. High school students also had the opportunity to be noticed by NJ college and university dance programs in a supportive, low-pressure environment. The day culminated in a Hip Hop workshop led by Rennie Harris! Participants could also join sector-specific convenings to network and share resources.
