The Dance Academy of North Jersey
Proud Sponsor of the Performing Hearts Challenger Dance Program
The Dance Academy of North Jersey would like to welcome you -- please take a moment to view our Video Introduction. We are based in Northwest New Jersey conveniently accessible from Morris, Sussex and Passaic County. DANJ offers classes for beginning students to the advanced and competitive levels. Our classes include a wide variety of dance styles to learn and grow with -- from Ballet to Hip Hop, Jazz to Contemporary, Tap to Lyrical and many others. With the experienced guidance of our faculty, you can be sure of the best instruction around.

At DANJ, your child is our main concern. It is our goal to teach beginner through advanced levels fairly and equally. Your child will learn in a fun and clean environment as they progress and develop their technical abilities. You will be able to see and enjoy your child's accomplishments -- culminating in our end of school year annual "Showcase." Please enjoy the following video -- the opening number from our 2010-11 Showcase:

DANJ's Competition Team (our "Academy Dancers") performed "Suzy" as the Opening Number at our 2010 Annual Recital Showcase. This piece was put together exclusively for the recital as a fun way to kick-off the show. To learn more about our competition team, click => Academy Dancers.
The showcase is for all students who wish to participate. It is a way for students to show their friends and family what they have learned throughout the year. The showcase is also an opportunity to observe many of our students from beginners to advanced. Our teachers choose the music and costumes appropriate for each age group in addition to choreographing each routine performed in the showcase. Tickets can be purchased at a reasonable price, so family members and friends can enjoy the performance. Your child will be part of a professional experience and show pride in their accomplishments when he or she takes their final bow.

Throughout the course of a year, we offer master classes taught by guest professionals from across the country. They each bring different styles of dance and teaching. These classes are open to everyone, guests as well as DANJ students.

Our facility, located in New Jersey at 770 Route 15 South in Lake Hopatcong (
