DNJFest
Save the date! DNJFest ‘26 will be held on Saturday, February 7th at Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts, in New Brunswick, NJ.
DNJFest ‘25 featured an exciting lineup of Jazz classes - Fosse-style Theatrical Jazz, Precision Jazz, Street Jazz, and Latin Jazz. Back by popular demand, First Look Auditions offered students and pre-professionals a chance to shine in front of top dance programs and companies from the NYC-Metro area. Several students were awarded summer intensive and college scholarships ranging from $750 - $60,000! It was an inspiring experience for all!
