Bio

​Josh Nixon started dancing at the age of 4 at Centreville Dance Academy in Virginia. Growing up in a studio that encouraged well rounded dancers, Josh was trained in ballet, lyrical, jazz and tap for 8 years before deciding to solely pursue Tap. In his early years, Josh was trained by Pam McCormick and Heidi Stafford, who really encouraged him to pursue a professional career in tap. Through his training, he was able to meet Chloe and Maud Arnold and Ted Louis Levy, and has been mentored by them for many years. At age 14, Josh joined the pre-professional company MYTE (Metropolitan Youth Tap Ensemble) based in Virginia under the direction of Katie Padgett and Jason Holley and was able to perform across Virginia and DC. After finishing high school, Josh performed works from choreographers Joseph Webb and Crishon Jerome in various corporate events including Marriot Conferences and the Utz National Chip Day commercial.
​At 18, Josh received his first opportunity to travel to Brazil, and since then he has traveled to teach and perform in over 30 states and 15 countries. Josh had the great opportunity to be the Assistant Artistic Director of Joseph Webb’s youth company, House of Tap, and has also been seen in Dance Teacher and Dance Magazines.  In addition to being a solo artist, he has had great opportunities to perform with Chloe Arnold's Apartment 33, Ryan Johnson's SOLE Defined and Heidi Stafford's Sundays on Tap. Josh has been seen most recently performing at the Root 100 Awards, Lincoln Center, The Smithsonian Institution, and on the Hapag and Lloyd cruise ship, MS Europa 2. When not traveling, Josh teaches in the DC/Metro Area at various studios, has been a guest teacher at Shenandoah University, and is pursuing his Bachelor’s Degrees in Business Management from Arizona State University.
