Dear Friends of Dance New Jersey,

As we approach the close of our fiscal year on June 30, Dance New Jersey is working to raise $5,000 to help bridge a critical budget gap and sustain the programs and services our statewide dance community depends on.

Rising operational costs continue to impact nonprofit arts organizations across the state, yet the need for connection, advocacy, professional development, and visibility for dance artists has never been greater. Despite the rising cost of doing business, Dance New Jersey has increased opportunity creation this year and we intend to continue in this growth mentality to meet the evolving needs of our NJ dance community.

New DNJ Sunday Salons - 25 Emerging Artists given space to create and perform
DNJFest ‘26 - Over half a million dollars worth of scholarships given
Show UP & Dance ‘26 - 27 Professional & Student groups presented
Ailey Day - Two DNJ Teaching Artists & Five DNJ Member Studios featured on the Victoria Stage
Professional Development - Doubled Professional Development offerings, serving educators from over 50 school districts
Partnerships - Expanded Community Development partnerships with NJPAC and Stockton University, increasing opportunities across all regions
Growth - Deepened connections with college and pre-professional dancers via bridge services into the professional sphere

Your contribution helps Dance New Jersey continue serving dancers, choreographers, educators, studios, and organizations throughout New Jersey with accessible, high-quality resources and opportunities.

Every donation — large or small — helps us finish the year strong and continue championing dance across New Jersey.

Please consider making a spring gift today and investing in the future of dance in our state.

Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting the power of dance.

With gratitude,

Dance New Jersey

Help us make the final leap! Support DNJ before our season ends ❤️
