Josie danced at Ballet Chelsea for 14 years. As a member of the performance company, she participated in nine productions of The Nutcracker and performed in ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake, Coppélia, Sleeping Beauty, and Don Quixote. One of her favorite memories is her final performance as the Fairy Queen in The Nutcracker. During the finale, her dad’s loud cheering nearly made her laugh on stage, and having out-of-town family present made the moment even more special. Her favorite role was the Lead Jester in The Nutcracker, a lively and joyful role. While she doesn’t anticipate future performances, she dreams of dancing Giselle someday. Teaching younger students was a pivotal moment for Josie. It inspired her love of teaching and led to roles as a tutor and teaching assistant in physics and math. She is now pursuing a PhD in physics at the University of Oxford, researching materials for solar energy to combat climate change. To new dancers, Josie advises focusing on more than just technique. The discipline and adaptability gained through dance will serve you well in any career, even when progress feels slow.
