Great friends Michelle Fleet, Laura Halzack, VJ Carbone and Michael Trusnovec founded the Asbury Park Dance Festival in 2019. Fleet, Halzack and Trusnovec are all distinguished alumni of the internationally acclaimed Paul Taylor Dance Company and Carbone has worked as a film publicist with some of the most respected companies in Hollywood for over two decades. Together they all share a passion for dance and a mutual appreciation for all art forms.
It is their shared belief that the arts have the power to build community, break down barriers, spread joy, and enrich people’s lives. The festival’s mission is to present dance and raise funds for arts education advocacy through a partnership with the non for profit Arts Ed NJ. Together APDF and Arts Ed NJ want to ensure that the next generation of budding artists and arts-lovers have access to what they need to pursue their dreams of living a life in the arts or a life that is enriched and made full by the arts.
