The Central Jersey Dance Society, founded in March of 2001, was established by dancers for dancers, in order to promote and develop social dancing in the Central Jersey/Princeton area. The main goals of the organization are:
Mission Statement
- To promote and develop the camaraderie between dancers of all levels.
- To introduce beginner dancers to the joys of dancing and the dance community
- To provide dancers with dance events and workshops that will enhance and improve their dance abilities
- To associate and work with other dance organizations in the area
- To promote and/or provide events that may include friendly competition and showcase venues.
- To inform the society members of events, workshops, venues, competitions, etc. and keep abreast of developments in the dance community.
- To provide an open dance environment where dancers of all levels will have the opportunity to practice, learn and enjoy themselves.
Presently, we offer a few dances each month. Each dance includes a lesson followed by open dancing to live or recorded music. Our first Saturday No Name Dance features dance styles including Latin, Hustle, Swing, Night Club 2-step, and some Ballroom, which are commonly considered part of a "California Mix." Our third Friday Jersey Jumpers dance limits dance styles to East Coast & Lindy Hop Swing, though occasional alternate swing styles find their way into the mix. Our third Saturday Salsa Sensation dance includes a mix of latin styles, including Salsa, Mambo, Merengue, Bachata andCha-Cha. Our nearly monthly Argentine Tango focuses an the elegant Tango and Milonge dance styles. Our fifth Saturday Special Events dances are special mixes based on rotating themes. We welcome all dancers, from beginner to advanced, to come out to one of our dances and give us a whirl. Please note: we not responsible for lost or stolen items.
