"I love to dance because it makes me feel connected to the music and express what I feel in the music. When it's really working, it's mystical -- it can't be explained with words. It's also led me to meet people literally all over the world that I otherwise never would have met. And it's good exercise."
"I personally like learning from Julie because she knows certain forms of swing dancing that very few other ballroom instructors in the world know, and because she really gets into the details of technique that other ballroom instructors I've had did not get into. I don't want to just learn moves; I want to learn to look right doing whatever moves I learn, and Julie gives me that instruction." Eddie Galloway - Private Lessons |
"Julie understands the science as well as the art of dancing. I find it amazing how quickly she can identify what i need to fix in order to achieve the look i want. In addition, if her description of how to perform a certain movement does not quite get the expected response from me, she always finds another way to express it so that it makes perfect sense to me!"

"Taking pilates with Julie has provided me with the opportunity to take great strides in my dancing. Julie takes the time to understand each indivual's body in order to really help you feel each movement, each muscle. She shows you how to gain the control, flexibility, and strength needed to pull the potential out of each movement in a dance. It is also an amazing whole body work out! Julie's comprehension, patience, and kindness make each session something you look forward to rather than being the "work" in "work-out." Pilates and dance with Julie is good for your whole being: body, mind, and soul."

"I decided to take dance lessons to help control my diabetes. Not only did taking lessons from Julie help me accomplish this major goal, but through her teaching style and attention to technique, I was able to achieve a poise and confidence in my body that I had never imagined. Julie takes the time to learn your currents strengths and show them off, as well as helping you to develop new ones."

| "Julie is a "Jewel" and is the most versatile and creative dancer/instructor I have had the pleasure to work with and get to know. Her warmth and sincerity adds to her incredible expertise and knowledge in all dances. She bestows great interest and caring to everyone one of her students, even in a group setting. She has the ability to help bring out the best in people which enhances one's dance ability. Not only does she teach you steps, she also works on your presentation and style. . You have not truly "danced" until you have done so with Julie. She is a one and only. Jules Rules!!!!" Nicki Lucas - Private Lessons |

"Like a lot of people, I’d always liked to dance, but I’d never had the opportunity or time to take lessons. Ballroom dancing was something I always thought “someday, maybe, when I have more time”. I started Ballroom with a very simple goal; A few lessons to learn something new, fun and different. That was 4 years ago! And my goal has far exceeded my expectations!!! I fell in love with dancing.
Now as a competitor, it is invaluable to have the female perspective on style and performance and I struggled in this area until I met Julie. Not only does she have the ability to teach, providing excellent technique, as a competitor, she understands what it takes to succeed. These skills coupled with a keen eye and the innate ability to bring out the best elements of each dancer makes her an excellent choice as instructor or coach. And what a difference a few sessions can make!"
