Dance New Jersey is a statewide non-profit service organization rather than a teaching studio. Its stated purpose is to connect the dance community through education and advocacy in order to sustain a diverse and equitable dance community across New Jersey. Its work is organized around learning and development, dance education, dance advocacy and partnerships, and it supports individual artists, teachers and companies through membership, a member directory, a resource directory, a weekly newsletter and accessibility services. Opportunities listed for the community include workshops and trainings, performance opportunities, grants and awards, and fiscal sponsorship and mentorship programs, alongside a shared community calendar and job or gig listings. The organization operates from a mailing address in Somerset, New Jersey, and is supported by funders including the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the Grunin Foundation.
