DNJFest '26

Join us for a vibrant, high-energy day of social dance, rhythm, and community connection! DNJ Fest brings together diverse styles rooted in tradition, culture, and joy. From the streets of Newark to the rhythms of Havana and Santo Domingo, this event celebrates the unifying power of movement. Back by popular demand, 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!

Participants will chose two morning workshops:

🌟 BACHATA with Yoaldri 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! 🌟
