Bling out under the black light at a hip-hop dance class. Make a sky lantern, just like from the movie Tangled. Plus there’s a dance party, interactive artwork, performances and more. All activities center around one question. What magical adventures happen at night when you combine the brilliance of light and sound with the excitement of dance?

A Midsummer Nights Dance is hosted by The Dance Connection of Hillsborough. The Dance Connection is a dance arts center that has been bringing dance to central New Jersey for over a decade. Founder and director, David Kieffer says “All of us have an inner child that loves to dance under the colored lights. Why should only pop stars get to step into the spotlight?”
