"I started this studio so that people
could have a place to train and
reach goals within an environment
that was safe, supportive,
encouraging and most of all fun!"
Classically trained in Ballet since
the age of 4, Julia's passion
for dance led her to Aerial
Arts in 2008 and soon
became her new found
passion. Julia thrives on
teaching her students in
an environment filled with
kindness, love and laughter.
Her delicate and nurturing
approach has been the
foundations for creating this
space she calls home.
