COMPETITION DETAIL

We love Journey! It was our first time, and despite the terrible venue- We truly loved it. They had to switch venues last minute, so, it is what it is- and as long as they aren't going back to the Washington Ave Armory- we will absolutely be returning next season. We loved that the judges referenced specific moments in the routines while awarding them- the personal touches spoke volumes. This is also the FIRST TIME ever that they didn't stack all our routines (with the same kids in them) making it physically impossible to accomplish. Kudos! I don't think we need that little app next year, though. Studio Directors do not need 1 more thing to check- haha!

We had such a great experience with Journey Competition! The event was incredibly well-run and organized from start to finish, which made the whole weekend smooth and stress-free for both dancers and parents. The energy in the room was amazing—high, positive, and truly entertaining the entire time. The staff was friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they really care about creating a fun and professional environment for the dancers. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Everything about this competition is great! The judging was awesome and the staff was awesome. We will definitely put them back on the schedule next year!

We had such an incredible experience at Journey dance competition from start to finish! The entire event was extremely well organized, professional, and ran right on schedule, even ran early —which is so appreciated during a busy competition weekend. The judges were knowledgeable, encouraging, and provided thoughtful, constructive feedback that our dancers can truly learn from and grow. You can tell they genuinely care about the dancers and the art of dance. The atmosphere was positive, supportive, and inspiring. Every dancer felt valued and celebrated. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available to answer questions or assist when needed. Thank you for creating such a memorable weekend for our dancers. We can’t wait to return next season! --

We loved Journey! Very well organized and the staff is very friendly. When the judges give their special awards to the dancers, you actually can feel the love they have for dance and the passion to educate. The awards sessions are so energetic and infectious. The kids have a blast. Their social media coverage is just as entertaining. This comp doesn’t give a false impression or expectation, they deliver the fun!

If you're in search of an incredibly organized and vibrant competition, look no further! Joel and his team truly deliver an exceptional experience. Whether you're in a small studio or a large one, you feel acknowledged and valued. The enthusiasm from the staff is absolutely infectious. I love the award ceremony and the outstanding judging! I’ll be sharing the excitement about JOURNEY as a must-visit event in your competition lineup for years to come!

Highly recommend Journey Dance Competition. From the regional to their Nationals their staff was nothing but amazing and professional. The party atmosphere kept the dancers and the parents engaged the entire time. If you are looking for a well ran, professional, competitive, and fun dance competition look no further because Journey is where you need to be. 💜

Wonderfully run event. Media is included as well as titles. They even had a private teacher room with snacks! Definitely the best competition out there.

My dancers and I loved this event! The staff were very kind and helpful throughout the weekend!

We are so excited to attend Journey this year. So far the media & communication have been amazing. We appreciate the comp being held at a school and not a hotel, we know that costs $$$ but the stage lights and beautiful theater definitely make it more exciting than a ballroom event.
