Movement artist

Facilitator, Performer and Choreographer

Date

April 2024

Role

Founder of Lean_in

I’m Joshua Jarvis Jones — also known as Just_Josh — a movement facilitator, practitioner, and choreographer whose work lives at the meeting point of technique, emotion, and embodied storytelling. Trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, my path has been shaped as much by formal study as by personal transformation. After experiencing deep personal loss, I turned to contemporary movement as a source of healing, finding in it a powerful way to connect with myself and others. My practice now blends structure with authenticity, using dance as a language to explore vulnerability, resilience, and shared human experience. I’ve performed and collaborated across the UK and Europe with artists like Ricardo Buscarini, Madeline Shan, and Viola Bruni, while also leading workshops and classes at festivals and gatherings throughout Europe. In 2024, I launched Lean_in — a movement space grounded in release, curiosity, and connection. Whether through teaching, creating, or performing, my work invites others to listen deeply, move honestly, and lean into the intelligence of their own bodies.
