President’s Welcome

Welcome to Central Jersey Dance Society.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, managed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, that has been providing opportunities for partner dancing to all for over 20 years. We host dance socials, which usually include lessons, several times a month. Sometimes, we also offer dance lesson series.

We welcome everyone, of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. We are also pleased to host any and all dancers, from complete beginners to the very experienced.

See you at the dance!

Sincerely,

Janie Zitomer, President

Our Mission

Central Jersey Dance Society (CJDS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social dance and its many human, physical, and cultural rewards. CJDS is solely managed by a volunteer board of trustees who dedicate their efforts as a gift to the community.

Our goal is to provide the public with a consistent program of free outdoor dances in Princeton, regularly scheduled dance socials accompanied by lessons, and special events and holiday dance parties. CJDS promotes a variety of social dance experiences (Latin, Ballroom, Swing, etc.) in order to broaden the communal knowledge and benefits of dance. In addition, CJDS maintains a conscientious responsibility towards the needs of the community by contributing to humanitarian causes.

We feel that by providing opportunities for all residents to interact in a safe, warm environment, we are encouraging a positive focus for our community.
