ATTICUS JOHNSON - RISING COACH | TUMBLE | DANCE
Atticus Johnson is a passionate and dynamis dancer with a strong foundation in movement - thanks to eight years of flipping, tumbling and flying throught the air as a gymnast. Now fully immersed in dance and aerial arts, he brings power, control and just the right amount of drama to every performance, whether he’s turning on the ground or soaring through the air on trapeze. When he’s not in the studio, you’ll probably find him at the beach living his best life, swimming like a dolphin, or hanging out with dogs and horses (because why choose just one?). Known for his blend of strength, style and sass, Atticus is always dancing through life - one leap, climb and laugh at a time. (He/Him/His)
