About Liberty Hall Dance Festival
Liberty Hall Dance Festival is New Jersey’s historically inspired dance festival. In the past three seasons the festival brought together 40+ professional companies & choreographers from the tri-state area to the beautiful Liberty Hall Museum, performing for 450+ total attendees at site-specific outdoor locations. Choreographers have the opportunity to present work in a unique venue surrounded by picturesque nature. Dancer Jai Mason remarked about the inaugural event: "To say performing at Liberty Hall Dance Festival was a pleasure does not capture the wonders that the performers and visitors experienced during this amazing day of art and history. There was a sense of community and of art awareness and education, all done with the mutual core love of dance."
