“I studied under Julia for two years. In that time Julia taught me the importance of discipline and hard work. Julia's classes were always well thought out and demanded the very best from everyone of her students. In my time under Julia’s direction, through her vast world wide contacts, Julia helped expose me to international competitions and helped introduce me to directors and teachers around the world. She was instrumental in creating many opportunities for me to dance in international galas as well as dancing with professional companies and professional schools. Her passion and love for this art form was pivotal in my early training and she is one of the reasons I'm a professional dancer today.”
