Legacy Week Faculty Spotlight: Josie Walsh

This week, we are honored to feature Josie Walsh, Artistic Director of our JoffreyRED, Joffrey West and Joffrey San Francisco Summer Intensives. A visionary choreographer, director, and educator, Josie brings a distinctive voice to contemporary ballet—one defined by innovation, artistry, and fearless creativity.

A former dancer with The Joffrey Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre, and Zurich Ballet, Josie began her choreographic career in Europe before returning to Los Angeles, where she founded BalletRED, a contemporary ballet company known for its cutting-edge fusion of classical technique and modern expression. Her work has been recognized worldwide, earning honors such as Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” multiple “Outstanding Choreographer” awards from the Youth America Grand Prix, and the Los Angeles Times’ “Faces to Watch.”

Josie’s artistry extends beyond the stage into film, television, and fashion, with credits including NBC’s World of Dance, America’s Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, and collaborations with major brands and international artists. Through her JoffreyRED Apprentice Program and her holistic approach to ballet training, Josie continues to mentor and empower the next generation of dancers, blending athleticism, artistry, and imagination.

Thank you Josie for joining us at Legacy Week and for continuing to push the boundaries of what dance can be while inspiring our dancers to do the same.
