Project D started out as a group of young talented friends from all different parts of New Jersey. Performers were needed for the Annual Semi-Formal for Ramapo College of New Jersey; therefore, a number of volunteers, organized by Bernie Armendi, came together out of love of dance for the event. The name Project D was discovered by the influence of a Japanese anime that was dedicated to the growing import car culture. The letter “D” represents dedication and devotion to dance. Since the beginning Project D has grown into an incredible family of young inspired dancers and continues to influence young individuals throughout the Tri-State area.
