ABOUT RODNEY JAMES
I'VE SPENT A LIFETIME MOVING.
NOW I TEACH PEOPLE TO NOTICE.
Rodney James is a professional performer, movement educator, teacher, creator of The Mojo Technique™ and founder of Jungle Red.
From professional stages and film to burlesque, fitness, somatic movement and teaching, Rodney's career has always returned to one fascination:
What happens when we stop worrying about what movement looks like and begin noticing what it feels like?

FROM THE STAGE TO THE MOJO.
PROFESSIONAL DANCER / PERFORMER
RAWR WITH RODNEY JAMES
MR. BURLESQUE
Rodney began dancing young and went on to build a professional career across dance, theatre, film and performance.
His career included productions such as CATS and Miss Saigon and appearing as a dancer in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.
He later became known internationally as Mr. Burlesque, bringing together movement, theatricality, confidence, humor and play.
Then came RAWR with Rodney James — a professionally filmed movement series exploring posture, confidence and the way we carry ourselves.
Looking back, something becomes very clear:
The Mojo Technique™ was already beginning.
THE QUESTION CHANGED.
TRADITIONAL MOVEMENT:
“COPY ME.”
“WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?”
THE MOJO TECHNIQUE™:
After decades of performing and teaching, Rodney became less interested in perfect movement and increasingly interested in awareness.
That curiosity evolved into The Mojo Technique™:
AWARENESS • ACKNOWLEDGE • ACT
Notice what is happening. Acknowledge it without judgment. Then choose what happens next.
LESS FORCE.
LESS STRUGGLE.
MORE AWARENESS.
MORE GRACE.
STILL MOVING.
STILL CURIOUS.
Today, Rodney brings decades of professional movement experience into Jungle Red through somatic awareness, posture, barre, aerial movement, meditation, play and one-on-one experiences.
The equipment may change.
The question doesn't:
WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?
Come exactly as you are.
WELCOME HOME.
