OUR STORY
Longtime friends and colleagues VJ Carbone, Michelle Fleet, Michael Trusnovec and Laura Halzack LOVE Asbury Park! Our shared passion for dance and belief in the impact the arts can make on a community inspired us to launch APDF in 2019.
Our mission - to present dance and raise funds for arts education advocacy through a partnership with Arts Ed NJ. Together, we 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.
