Ozzie's story
The king of play.
Ozzie, aka DiskoWizard, is a life artist. He teaches yoga across Denver every week, does acro yoga, spins as a karaoke DJ, and writes poetry. What ties it all together is play, and a knack for helping people let go of feeling self-conscious.

Do only what I love
Ozzie moved to Denver about 14 months ago with one rule: only do the things he loves, even if it meant barely making ends meet.

Open mic & spoken word
His first community was the open mic scene at The CornerBeet, where he performed spoken word poetry and released his first book in January.

Yoga, acro & the dance floor
Then came the yoga and acro yoga communities, the breakers and hip hoppers, Love Language events, and the folks at Vibrate Your Best Energy.

Making spaces of his own
He started Playful Expressions and, with DJ Boogie, Denver Dance Therapy, starting in Cheesman Park, where around 70 people showed up.
“Not only am I good at finding community, but I will create it if I can't find it.”
“If you're alive, your heart beats in rhythm, therefore even your stillness is dancing.”
