Join DNJ for a vibrant, high-energy day of social dance, rhythm, and community connection! DNJFest brings together diverse styles rooted in tradition, culture, and joy. First Look Auditions will offer students and pre-professionals a chance to shine in front of top dance programs and companies from the NYC-Metro area. In 2025, students were awarded summer intensive and college scholarships ranging from $750 - $60,000! From the streets of Newark to the rhythms of Havana and Santo Domingo, this event celebrates the unifying power of movement.
Participants will chose two morning workshops:
BACHATA with Yolandri Messina
CUBAN RUEDA with Flaco
JERSEY CLUB with Wizdom
FIRST-LOOK AUDITION with Kristine Covillo
The day will culminate with all participating in a SOUL LINE DANCE JAM with Najah Riker!
Professional development credit is availible upon request after the event. Email kerriann.dancenj@gmail.com with any questions.
