Behind every class, rehearsal, and performance is a belief in the power of the performing arts to change lives.
Weehawken Dance is a program of Weehawken Creative Arts. Our mission, vision, and core values guide every class we teach, every production we create, and every relationship we build. They shape how we welcome new families, support our students, and strengthen our community through the performing arts. They are the foundation of the Weehawken experience.

Our Commitment to Every Student
At Weehawken Dance, we bring these commitments to life through exceptional dance and aerial education in a welcoming, inclusive environment where every student is encouraged to learn, create, and grow.
We support the whole student by developing strong technique while nurturing creativity, confidence, discipline, resilience, physical and emotional well-being, and a lifelong love of movement. We want every dancer and aerialist—regardless of age, ability, background, or experience—to have opportunities to discover their potential, express themselves, build meaningful relationships, and know that they belong.
Our Mission Comes to Life
Mission and values are more than words on a page—they are reflected in every class, rehearsal, performance, and relationship we build. For the Love of Dance is a short documentary that shares the stories of the students, families, teachers, and performances that bring Weehawken's mission, vision, and values to life every day.
