TESTIMONIALS

“Looking for a fresh, unique, dedicated, patient, inspirational, and humble instructor? Julia quite literally embodies all of that. I’ve never been much of a dancer. I consider myself a “strong mover,” but upon trying a heels class with Julia almost two years ago, I can say that not only did my dance skills improve, but so did my confidence and self-esteem. Julia is not just your teacher. She is your hype woman, a personal coach, and at least for me, she has become a very dear friend. I would not be the performer I am today without her. I have grown more comfortable with my body and my mind, and have been able to apply her teachings through dance into my work in theatre. She is a teacher who will walk with you through every step of YOUR personal dance journey, and will never give up on you. I am beyond grateful to have her in my life as my instructor and friend. She’s made sure that I’ve never given up on myself in and out of the studio, and that I am always enough. Her dance routines are well-thought out, and she is always prepared for her classes. She holds herself at a level of professionalism that allows her students to respect her and also stay comfortable with her without having fear or intimidation factor in. I recommend her to everyone. She is someone you don’t want to sleep on!”

“I have been taking Julia’s heels and jazz funk classes for about a year now, and the reason why I love taking her classes is because of her energy, charisma, and style. It is a delight for me every time, and I always leave feeling fulfilled. I love the way she incorporates her swag into all her choreography, and if you are looking for a commercially new and hip style of dance- she is your girl here in the Bay Area.”

“Anyone can be a dancer but not everyone can teach dance and Julia can do both! She’s honestly the best. I’ve made so much progress over the past year because of her. When I first took her class I could barely keep up and now I’m making dance videos with her! Doesn’t matter if youre a beginner, intermediate or advance dancer; she is very welcoming to all. She’s patience, supportive, and encouraging and she definitely makes you feel like a bad b**** Trust me you won’t regret taking her classes. Her energy is like no other!”

“I've danced with Julia for a little over 2 years both in person and over zoom. I've been dancing all my life but never danced in heels before. I was so nervous my very first heels class with her because I didn't know if I'd "do it right". However, I learned that first night that as a teacher, Julia provides structure, skill, encouragement, goal setting, and is always open to my many, many questions (can you go over that again? What count was that? I don't get that part? How do you move your booty like that Julz?)  As a friend, she gives support, attention, listening, welcoming, and good vibes. Together as both a friend and an instructor, she is creating classes filled with fierce confidence, challenges, newness, connectedness, and over all fun. I am feeling my absolute best during and after her classes. Whatever level you are, Julia has something for you to werkkk with!!!”

“Julia has been a dance mentor and friend for the past 2 years and has given me a confidence I never knew I had! Her positive energy radiates through every class she teaches. Regardless of if you’re a beginner or a professional dancer, you will come out of her dance classes learning something new while also having a fun ass time. I’ve experienced significant growth both as a dancer and a person while taking Julia’s classes and I know you will too! “

“Julia is hands down one of my favorite dance instructors. I have been taking class with her regularly for over a year and each class is SO INCREDIBLY FUN. Taking her classes has helped me improve my confidence and ability to pick up and remember choreography.  I have also noticed my movements have become more sharp and clean.  I absolutely LOVE her style- it is sassy, sharp and powerful.  Her choreography always makes me feel like a queen.  While I am challenged by her choreography, it also feels natural in the body.  She is also a warm and welcoming person who makes personal connections with her students and makes sure everyone's needs are met in class. I cannot recommend her class enough!!!”

“Whether you want to dance for fun, for fitness, for training, for confidence, or for the ‘gram... TRUST, Julia is the right instructor for you! When I started taking Julia’s group dance classes a year ago, I was instantly hooked, and am still taking weekly classes actively to this day! Not only is she a talented dancer whose unique and versatile choreography (heels, sneakers, various styles) makes dancing with her incredibly fun, but her teaching style makes a lasting impression too. Julia brings such high energy and positivity to every session (private or class), it is always a motivating environment.  Her ability to uplift and challenge me (and my peers) as a dancer has been a huge contributing factor to my growth. I have enjoyed taking classes with Julia so much, especially virtually throughout COVID shutdowns, that I even set up a virtual private class for my 9 year old niece…. and to no surprise, I saw that Julia is equally as great with kids as she is with adults!”

“I have been taking dance classes from Julia for two years and let me tell you she is AMAZING! She knows how to read each person’s body movements and learning abilities to make you feel like the best dancer. Whether you want to feel sexy, confident, strong, badass or all of the above JULIA is the dance teacher for you! She will push you out of your comfort zone and challenge you when she sees the potential but can also pull you back in to look deeper inside yourself with her compassion. Her choreography leaves nothing to be desired and it is my favorite workout. Do yourself a favor and treat your body and mind to a class or lesson from Julia!”
