🔲 MIS ON J-FEST?
J-Fest on tantsufestival, mis ühendab eri vanuses inimesi ning loob keskkonna, kus loovus, kunst ja tants saavad üheks. Festivali peamine eesmärk on luua vaba õhkkond, kus sarnaste huvidega inimesed ületavad barjääre ja leiavad ühiseid kokkupuutepunkte.
Festival sündis esmakordselt 2019. aastal Jõhvi Gümnaasiumi praktilise töö raames ning on kasvanud täiemahuliseks tantsufestivaliks kahes linnas - Jõhvis ja Tallinnas (Showcase Edition, Battles, Ballroom Weekend, Laboratory ja tantsuworkshopid).

🔲 WHAT IS J-FEST?
J-Fest is a dance festival that brings together people of all ages and is a place where creativity, art and dance become one. The main goal of the festival is to create a free atmosphere in which people with similar interests break barriers and find common lines of exclusion.
The first time the festival was born as a practical work at the Jõhvi Gymnasium in 2019 which made it to the whole dance festival in two cities - Jõhvi and Tallinn (Showcase edition, Battles, Ballroom Weekend, Laboratory and dance workshops)
