WHAT IS J-FEST?

J-Fest is a dance festival that unites people of different ages and creates an environment where creativity, art and dance become one. The main goal of the festival is to create a free atmosphere where people with similar interests overcome barriers and find common points of contact.

The festival was first born in 2019 as part of the practical work of Jõhvi High School and has grown into a full-scale dance festival in two cities – Jõhvi and Tallinn (Showcase Edition, Battles, Ballroom Weekend, Laboratory and dance workshops).
