Josie is a shamanic dancer, weaver of dreams, and deep diver into the psyche of the body. She was initiated by a Tantric Priest in 1999, has studied Tantric Belly Dance for 16 years, Astrology for 30, collected intuitive tarot reading along the way, and now works with the powerful Awakening Divine Feminine within and without.
She hails originally from Australia and has been on a profound journey towards the self for 20 years in her beloved California.
The Temple of Consciousness invited me back to teach my Tantric Belly dance workshop at the Lightning in a Bottle Festival again this year. This time I taught about hundred people, none of whom had been to one of my classes before! Most were under 30 yrs old and some of them were men. It was the first morning of the Festival so everyone was still fairly normal. But then, that all changed when we had a blast together! The workshop got them in their bodies dancing, smiling and in a high vibration space….
See how the men became the stars of the workshop below…
Extra time at the workshop gave us a rare treat. After a communication mix up… thank you Mercury retrograde… I ended up with an extra 10 minutes to fill. Intuitively I had a sense to have the last witness dance for the MEN in the room. They were so powerful and into it, that the women present had to jump up and dance with them. They blew us all away. See a short Iphone VIDEO snippet here….
After that everyone looked at me in disbelief…we had raised the roof! Then we sat and set intentions together to make beautiful heart aligned connections all weekend. And I suspect they did.
I was paired up with well loved DJ, DJ Dragonfly. It was a cool challenge to dance Tantric Belly Dance moves to deep thumpy bass music, intertwined with middle eastern sounds. I counterpointed the strong drums with lyrical snakey moves.
Meditating before the set helped me with Stagefright. Once I was out on stage though, it was fun an easy :). And doing Tantric Breathing while performing made the performance very intuitive and full of shakti (feminine presence).
I met a fellow dancer at a gatheiring a week later and she thanked me for being the highlight of her plant medicine journey that night!

The Temple of Consciousness at the Lightning in a Bottle Festival asked me to teach my class as part of their movement repertoire, and I jumped in enthusiastically. However I had to adapt it to the environment! It was in the open air, 97 degrees, daytime, included men, and I had a sprained ankle (from a night time run in with the rough terrain) and included 60 people!
It was an exciting challenge and I so enjoyed filling up those shiny expectant faces with wisdom and fun. We had a blast, and the brave ladies who did a solo dance in a circle of 60 witnesses were totally transformed.
Seeing how moved they were, and how they touched and galvanised the rest of the circle showed me that this practice works, even in a less than comfy temple space. The men who stayed the course had a great time, and were happily respectful. Everyone was so excited by the end that the whole group got down to Bassnectar’s Snakecharmer to prepare them for a night dancing with the headliners Beats Antique.
More festivals to come!

Josie Keys – Tantric Belly dance teacher and Dancer
Josie holds workshops in the US and Australia on Reclaiming Your Feminine Power. She leads women to discover their hidden gifts and activates their Shakti – the feminine essence of the divine contained in our female bodies – through the practice of Tantric Belly dancing. Finding her Shakti was a life transforming experience into self-love. Connecting deeply with her body and her sensitivity, she discovered her deep feminine self and then began to share that wisdom.
She has been on a consistent spiritual path for 20 years, studying yoga, astrology, ecstatic dance and Tantric dance for women, becoming a teacher in 2006. She is an artist too, with a long career as a commercial photographer informing her current Goddess painting and graphic design (she designed the artwork for ‘Moving into Grace’)
Josie understands deep dark nights of the soul, and the heights of ecstasy. Knowing that there is a pulsating force that can be awoken through our bodies she shares with us how to feel every moment through our divine feminine selves, and how we can turn every moment into its full aliveness.
