ABOUT JOURNEY

In the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Journey Dance Convention was created as the first ever, all-teen faculty dance convention. 17-year-old founder, Jesse Kohn, wanted to create a platform for young creatives to showcase their talent, while simultaneously creating a comfortable learning environment for students. The entire purpose of Journey Dance Convention was to switch-up the typical dance convention experience all while brining together the dance community in a time of need. Journey Dance Convention continued for the next few months offering multiple virtual conventions and even an in-person event in New Jersey, just four months after starting. 

​

Journey Dance Convention then launched another platform, the Journey Dance Awards. The Journey Dance Awards is a choreography showcase showcase for the next generation of choreographers. Choreographers 24-years-old and younger have the chance to present original choreography, receive personal feedback from industry professionals, obtain footage from the show, and a chance at $500 to a standout piece. The Journey Dance Awards have offered shows in Southern California, New York, and have more locations being announced soon.

​

The newest and largest shift to Journey has just arrived, Journey Dance Connection. Journey Dance Connection is the leading group behind all of the projects and services offered by Journey. The shift to Journey Dance Connection is because it emphasizes connecting artists to artists, artists to mentors, artists to opportunity, and more. This is just the start for Journey Dance Connection and all that is to come.
