Welcome to the School of Nimbus Dance in Summit

A Message from Samuel Pott & Sarah Lane

It is with great joy and deep reverence that we welcome you to the Summit campus of the School of Nimbus Dance.

This new chapter begins with heartfelt acknowledgment of the extraordinary legacy of the New Jersey Dance Theatre Ensemble (NJDTE). For over 50 years, NJDTE was a beacon of excellence in dance education and performance in Summit and beyond. We honor its indelible impact on generations of dancers and are humbled to carry forward a space so rich with artistry, discipline, and heart.

At Nimbus, we bring with us a mission rooted in artistic rigor, equity, and community engagement. As Artistic Director, I (Sam) have long envisioned a school that not only trains technically proficient dancers, but also shapes empowered, expressive artists. In Summit, this vision is enriched by the city’s vibrant history and the legacy left by NJDTE.

As a former principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and now Co-Director of the School of Nimbus: Summit, I (Sarah) am deeply honored and exhilarated to share the artistry, discipline, and joy that shaped my own journey in dance. At Nimbus, we are committed not only to delivering world-class training, but to fostering a vibrant, supportive community where dancers of every age and ambition feel seen, inspired, and empowered to grow. We believe in the transformative power of mentorship, in the strength of human connection, and in opening doors to opportunity—onstage and beyond. Whether you’re seeking a space to express your creativity or striving to elevate your training toward a professional path, you have a place here—and your journey matters.

This Fall, the School of Nimbus Summit Location will offer:

• Professional-caliber instruction in ballet, modern, and performance

• Access to internationally recognized teaching artists and guest faculty

• A bridge to performance and touring opportunities with Nimbus Dance

• A warm, supportive studio culture grounded in artistic excellence

We invite you to become part of our growing community—a place where dance is not only taught but celebrated as a powerful force for expression, growth, and joy

With gratitude and excitement,
Samuel Pott
Artistic Director, Nimbus
Sarah Lane
Co-Director, School of Nimbus (Summit)
