Jerzey Goldson mentors the next generation of dancers

Before starting the Lotus Creations Academy, Jerzey Goldson had actually put a lot of work into the entertainment industry. In 2018, he won MTV Live which only boosted his career as a dancer and choreographer. He has worked with VH1, HBO, Ciara, Lisa Lisa, Cassie, and so many more talented artists.

There seems to always be a battle for the creative arts, especially in low-income communities who might not be able to afford creative arts programs for their children. Additionally, dancers are often the most under-recognized and under-appreciated art performers. When Jerzey set forth in opening the Lotus Creations Academy, he wanted to provide every child the chance to discover and express themselves without having to worry about the cost. The idea behind Lotus Creations Academy was to create an “inclusive village that propels dancers to success in the entertainment industry.”

Jerzey is all about hard work and consistency. Those kinds of habits not only helped Jersey achieve his dream of being a professional dancer, but they are also the habits that Jerzey hopes to embed into the children at Lotus Creations Academy. Lotus Creation academy is a place for the next generation of dancers to learn and build connections that catapult them into their careers.

“I focus on creating choreography and stories based on the experiences I’ve been through, dreamed of, but most importantly, what people can relate to.” Not only does Jerzey want to fuel creativity and inspiration to others, he wants people to relate to his performance and art.

Jerzey also commented on how people hold a stigma with the performing arts. Some tend to believe that you can’t make it far without raw natural talent. However, Jerzey believes that passion and effort can take you pretty far. The Lotus Creation Academy is a place for those to train and hone their craft— it’s a place where all you need is the desire, Jerzey and the Lotus team will help you with the rest.
