Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey is a non-profit professional organization for dance teachers established in 1936.  There are many facets of our organization which serve our fellow dance teachers and their students as well as the New Jersey dance community.  

ADTNJ provides an outlet for deserving students of our member teachers to win Scholarships.  The Senior Dance Scholarship, honoring past ADTNJ President Frances L. Chalif, is awarded annually to three high school students based upon audition.  The Junior Essay Scholarship is awarded annually to ten students aged 7 through 8th grade.

Our Dance Workshops, held in October and January, bring top of the line master classes right here to New Jersey.  Members of Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey may attend them for FREE! Students of Member Teachers may attend at a significant discount!  Over the years, some of our most popular master teachers have included the likes of Debbie Dee, Frank Hatchett, Steve Sirico, Angela D'Valda Sirico, Sarah Jo Fazio, Debra Mitchell, Patricia Dickinson, Jo Rowan, Mark Santoro, Pat Y-O, Sheila Barker, Rhonda Miller, and Mike Schulster.  

Membership in Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey also entitles you to our annual "Networks" seminar.  Once a year, our member teachers gather to discuss and share a variety of topics and ideas to advance and improve the art of teaching dance as well as the dance studio business.  Guest speakers, Q&A sessions, and other formats help each ADTNJ member become better dance educators.   

Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey takes great pride in providing an environment of true camaraderie amongst our fellow teachers.  Many, many lifelong friendships can be traced back to membership in ADTNJ.  Please consider joining us if you are searching for a special group of people who:
