We use the power of the arts to impact individuals and communities. As Jersey City’s vibrant, anchor arts organization invested in equity, diversity, and excellence, Nimbus weaves together dance company, arts center, school, and community programming.

Entering its 20th season, Nimbus Dance continues to bridge the gap between world-class performances and community engagement. By presenting work that challenges, speaks to, and elevates the core beliefs of its diverse audience, Nimbus embodies the spirit of artistic innovation and inclusivity. Founded in 2005 by visionary Artistic Director Samuel Pott (former soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company) and based in Jersey City, Nimbus stands at the forefront of excellence in the arts, civic engagement, and equitable impact.

Known for highly physical and visually engaging aesthetic, Nimbus’ international company of dancers tours nationally and throughout the greater New Jersey/New York region, impacting 16,000 people each year. Recently, Nimbus had the honor of performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood and received support from esteemed organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the O’Donnell Green Music and Dance Foundation.

The organization’s community engagement and education programs serve 6,500 youth in Jersey City and across the state. Nimbus’ company dancers serve as faculty at the School of Nimbus, which offers dance classes for ages 2 through adults from the greater New York City area.

In September 2020, Nimbus relocated to a newly constructed, state-of-the-art center, the Nimbus Arts Center at the Lively, in the Powerhouse Arts District of Jersey City.
