Called “Astonishing in its understated intensity” by The Star-Ledger, Nimbus Dance creates a dazzling experience of artistry, romance, and virtuosity.

Nimbus is an award-winning contemporary dance company at the forefront of excellence in the arts and civic engagement. The company was founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Samuel Pott and is based in Jersey City.  With a repertoire of over thirty works, Nimbus performs on tour nationally and throughout the greater New Jersey/New York region, impacting 16,000 people annually. In September 2020, Nimbus opened the Nimbus Arts Center, a 15,000 square foot center with theater, gallery, and studio spaces that is the largest dance-based arts center in the State of New Jersey.

Nimbus Dance will close our summer festival with an evening of superbly rendered, highly physical, and emotionally gripping dance.

The program will include Samuel Pott's iconic "Patch of Turf," Dawn Marie Bazemore's jazzy "After Party" (set to the music of Nancy Wilson and Nina Simone), Pedro Ruiz's breezy and Cuban-infused contemporary ballet “Danzon”, and Yoshito Sakuraba's mysterious and enchanting "Avenoir."
