Jai Mason performed in the 2017 Liberty Hall Dance Festival. Mason commented, "To say performing at Liberty Hall Dance Festival was a pleasure does not capture the wonders that the performers and visitors experienced during this amazing day of art and history. There was a sense of community and of art awareness and education, all done with the mutual core love of dance. I cannot wait to see where the dance festival goes from here."
Liberty Hall Dance Festival is made possible in part by a HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant from the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Liberty Hall Dance Festival is also supported, in part, by a UNITY Dance Organization Community Grant sponsored by Curtain Call. Local business sponsors are Spire Group CPA and the Tropicana Diner.
Liberty Hall is located on the Kean University Campus, 1003 Morris Avenue in Union, NJ. The dance festival program is from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The cost is $20 for adults, $15 for Senior Citizens, and $12 for children. There is a rain date of September 30. Advance reservations are suggested for the Festival.
