Founded in 2007 by Artistic Directors Elias Kababa and Kimberly Pinto.  Their collaboration brings the worlds of hip-hop and contemporary dance together.  They believe that this aesthetic of concrete and organic movement is what sets the GSDP apart and the element of which the company’s foundation is built on.  The Garden State Dance Project’s mission is to cultivate the performing arts in New Jersey.   Made up of a team of dedicated local artists, we work together to combine instruction, education, performance and outreach for the benefit of our state.  The vision is one of a call to New Jersey artists and audiences to come together.
