Josie specialises in delivering engaging dance classes to schools across Victoria, catering to students from Kindergarten through to Year 12.
With experience teaching at over 120 schools throughout the metro area, Josie brings energy, inclusivity, and fun to every session.
Josie’s classes can be incorporated into the Physical Education curriculum, giving students the opportunity to explore diverse forms of exercise. Additionally, Josie is regularly invited to run sessions as part of mental health and wellbeing days, offering a joyful, movement-based experience for both students and staff.
Josie is also available to lead weekly dance programs during school lunch breaks, as well as evening school discos. Her classes are fully adaptable to meet the specific needs and goals of each school.
Whether the aim is to explore cultural traditions through dance—featuring styles from Russia, India, Latin America, South Africa, North American Hip Hop, the Caribbean, Spain, Ireland, and Turkey—or to energise students with Pop and Hip Hop routines set to 80s, 90s, and current chart-topping hits, Josie ensures that each session is a memorable hit with students of all ages.
Class sizes are flexible—from small groups of 15–20 students to full school dance sessions. The only key consideration is the space available, as Josie can tailor the class experience to fit any room size.
Heartfelt feedback from schools Josie has had the joy of dancing with.
The feedback from both students and teachers has been overwhelmingly positive.
Every time you come to our school you bring energy and positivity. The classes are fun and easy for everyone to be involved. I’ve never seen so many students engaged and happy whilst exercising.
You have the ability to form relationships quickly which is so important in education. Students really like you and want you back at Kilvington very soon!
Thank you once again and we look forward to having you back
Josie’s weekly Zumba sessions at Upper Yarra Secondary College have been an incredible experience for our students! With an average of 60 participants every week, these sessions have become a highlight of the week for students of all ages and genders.
Josie brings a contagious energy, creating an environment that’s both energising and fun.
The routines are interactive and accessible to all fitness levels, ensuring that everyone feels included and motivated to keep moving. It’s not just about exercise – it’s about having a great time while building confidence and camaraderie. We are so grateful for Josie’s positive impact on our school community!
If your school offers a pool facility, I offer 45 minute Aqua Zumba classes which is likened to a fun Miami beach party in the water. I combine large movements and strength work in the water to upbeat dance tunes which is great for cardio and endurance training. Aqua Zumba also builds team comradery in a fun water environment.
Aqua Zumba is accessible for everyone including those who have injuries as the water provides a safe, non weight bearing setting to safely exercise.
