Our History
Our history begins with the inception of Perry and Keller School of Dance in the 1950's in Essex County. Perry and Keller came to Woodbridge, after twenty years of successes in Newark and East Orange, in 1971. In 1977, Perry and Keller expanded its curriculum, staff and facilities as Woodbridge Theatre of Performing Arts and Gymnastics and moved to Woodbridge. In 1984 we again expanded and opened our Middlesex school on Lincolon Boulevard in Middlesex, incorporating under the new title "Central Jersey Dance and Gymnastics". After 24 year on Lincoln Blvd. we were very happy to have found our new home right down the block on Lincoln Blvd. Extension! The Directors have all been with the schools from its very inception.
