Be colorful. Be connected. Be part of our kaleidoscope of performing arts classes.
Do you want to sing, dance, and act on stage? Maybe rapping, DJing and beatboxing is more your style? Or is our jazz ensemble calling your name? No matter what revs your creative engine, one thing’s for sure — there’s no limit to what you can discover at NJPAC. So come join the fun, and bring along all the things that make you uniquely you. Our kaleidoscope isn’t complete without you!
Be a part of NJPAC’s legendary Performing Arts Summer Programs, part of the Colton Institute for Training and Research in the Arts. This dynamic initiative supports and advances NJPAC’s Arts Education programs including our best-in-class hip hop, jazz & poetry and theater classes happening this summer.
Registered students can enjoy:
- Community Meeting: Daily social check-in with your classmates (included as part of your class time).
- In The Mix: A student-driven, collaborative and multidisciplinary program with a civic engagement focus. It’s a safe space for students to discuss and produce art as activism while building their social and emotional skills (free add-on).
- Creative Coaching: One-on-one mentorship with a professional NJPAC teaching artist (free add-on).
Parents and guardians are invited to participate in our parent committee:
- NJPAC Arts Education offers families an opportunity to strategize with a collective of parents, guardians and caregivers and assist in the development of activities that nurture their child’s development, showcase teaching artists and build community at the Center for Arts Education.

Your safety is our priority. Since the pandemic began, we’ve collaborated with medical professionals, invested in building upgrades, and put new procedures in place to protect our guests, staff, volunteers, and faculty. Just a few things you might want to know: Faculty and staff are required to be vaccinated. For Schooltime Programs, no vaccinations or tests are required, masks are encouraged. For Summer and Saturday programs, students must be vaccinated, and masks are encouraged. And you can feel safe knowing our HVAC system meets industry standards for virus ionization and filtration and our cleaning processes follow all CDC recommendations. Further details on program protocols are here and specific details on procedures are shared upon completed registration and during program orientations.
Your safety is our priority. Please read about all of NJPAC’s health precautions and safety requirements before purchasing.
Tuition Information, Refund Policy and Attendance
Tuition must be paid in full or a payment plan must be in place prior to the first session.

If a student withdraws after attending the second session, a 50% refund will be issued.
If a student withdraws after attending three sessions, all tuition payments are non-refundable.
*Important* If a student is absent for the first two sessions without any communication or advance notification, they will be automatically withdrawn from the program and the full tuition payment will be forfeited. This allows for additional students to join the program from the waitlist.
