As an artist and teacher, Josie’s primary goal is to invoke, inspire and compel from herself and her audience a more deeply realized meaning. “Dance represents the deepest freedom of expression in that it leaves nothing to hide behind…nothing to obscure the naked truth that as the dancer you are the art.” - Josie Walsh Josie was named “25 to watch” by Dance Magazine. Class description: Ballet with a contemporary flare! Josie has a holistic approach to ballet technique rooted in deep understanding of proper body alignment. Her method of teaching creates a strong and powerful center, learning to initiate movement from the core. Sculpting, refining, and ultimately finding freedom within the classical discipline is the journey…Josie’s classes are fun, creative and challenging, set to alternative music.
