Josh Cameron BIO

For the majority of his artistic practice Josh “Jammin’” Cameron has primarily focused on researching and developing his proficiency and immersion in Street, Club and Cultural Dance with emphasis on Breaking, Hip Hop, and House as well as Hustle, Dancehall, Vogue, Locking, Popping, Litefeet and Waacking. He has a deep and long standing practice of immersing himself in the complex and diverse facets of cultural gatherings including but not limited to battles, clubbing, Ballroom events, and traditional knowledge transfer from the expertise of Pioneers and Innovators worldwide. Josh’s unique approach to dance stems from his synthesis of these Street Dance foundations along with extensive training in Martial Arts as well as a wide variety of Contemporary and experimental movement modalities. These crossovers have culminated in his involvement in disseminating work that utilizes the strengths of multiple methodologies of Street and Contemporary Dance to create work for stage and film.

Josh has been teaching dance since September 2012. He is passionate about delivering dance programming to the community that bridges gaps between artforms and educative schematics, methodologies and languages by teaching collaborative multidisciplinary classes intersecting multiple dance genres with music theory education, voice and speech, and creative writing. Josh has aligned his long-standing teaching practice with the grassroots, non-profit organization, Barangay Project Society where he is acting Vice President. The organization highly prioritizes BIPOC communities of all ages in Western Canada with nurturing connections for safe and accessible art programs for youth and emerging artists to pursue careers in the arts.
