About Me

Mr. Kenny Jones is a native of Norfolk, Virginia, where he was another neighborhood kid surrounded by drugs and other massive negative influences. While his family strived to give him the best foundation he could possibly get, it was easy for him to be influenced by the negative choices made by his peers. But Kenny sought otherwise. Remembering the teachings of his mother and grandmother and having a younger sister, he knew the being a black man he had to be something in life.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

On his own, at 18, he moved from Norfolk, VA to Jackson MS, where he received dual Bachelors degree in Speech and Dramatic Art from Jackson State University, becoming the first in his family to graduate from college. Kenny continued to step and act. Stepping became the escape for Kenny. He began to tour with world renowned step groups earning national titles. After establishing himself as a stepping artist, Kenny was invited to have permanent residency as New WORLD Theatre's Project 2050 stepping artist becoming the youngest artist in residency.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Kenny has revolutionized stepping as an art form and fused it with his constant mission to change to lives of youth. He is respected worldwide for his fusion of theatrics and stepping through his unconventional choreography and theatrical eye. In 2006, because of his familiarity and relation to youth from inner city neighborhoods, Kenny organized Philly X-Treme, a youth organization that allows teens to channel frustrations through stepping. He is a 2006 Masters graduate of Drexel University's Arts Administration program

Movies:

Kenny is currently pursuing his doctoral degree in Social Policy and Urban Education at Temple University in hopes of changing federal policies toward minority non-profit organizations.His quest for education comes no longer for personal reasons but rather to show other young people that no matter where you are from you CAN be successful

Television:

From these experiences Kenny found himself at the door of many other opportunities. He became the youngest board member on Full Circle Dance Theatreâ€™s Board of Directors and being initiated as a member of Modern Free and Accepted Masons of the World becoming the youngest member of Titus Lodge 592 in Norfolk, VA at age 21 and become the youngest person ever to recieve a State approved Citation from Pennsylvania Senator Shirley Kitchens and be named an Unsung Hero of the 37th Ward of North Philadelphia.

Books:

In addition to his love to just make a difference, Kenny is also a performer. Kenny has performed his talents in over 25 venues including the Apollo Theatre, The Orpheum Theatre with STOMP, and numerous venues in Philadelphia including the New Freedom Theatre, the Painted Bride and the Kimmel Center.

Heroes:

Currently, Kenny is working hard in the treches of North Philadelphia, getting his hands dirty with the horror of murder in that area. Wanting to make a change in the stereotypes of teens from inner cities all over.He humbles himself to listen to others and looks forward to the day where teens are helping teens.
