Casey is a Master Instructor in Dance Education and strongly believes in working with young artists to build a strong foundation in professional discipline and the development of one\u2019s art as a craft!! Starting in dance rather late in his life, Casey studied very hard and took every dance class he could. He rented videos from the library and studied anatomy books to learn how the muscles of the body work. Studying dance like a science allowed him to hone his skills and advance rather quickly! His performing career began in high school when he performed in the movie Newsies! During that same time, Casey worked in the parade Department at Disneyland after school. His love of travel came from working around the world, be it on tour on the east coast and Canada, performing as principal dancer on Guam, and of course, cruise ships! Some of Casey\u2019sfavorite career moments are working with Michael Jackson during the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, playing Radio City Music Hall as Lord Zedd on the Power Rangers Tour, and most of all, mentoring hundreds of cast members while directing cruise ship shows and traveling the world!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"common\">WATCH: Casey Johnson Interview for Performers Stuff Pro Series: Directing on the High Seas and what the differences are.<\/span><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/libraries\/F5uP9Qcx.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/js-cookie@2\/src\/js.cookie.min.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"player\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\/\/ <!&#091;CDATA&#091;\nconst playerInstance = jwplayer(\"player\"). setup({ file: \"https:\/\/performerstuff.com\/images\/proseries\/Casey_Johnson-Edit.mp4\", image: \"https:\/\/performerstuff.com\/images\/Casey-Johnson_Metadata.jpg\", width: \"100%\", height: 100});\n\/\/ &#093;&#093;><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Want More Performer Stuff Pro Series?
