Julianne loves to create, inspire and “give back” all she has learned from the numerous amazing mentors in her life.
“To all of those artists still with us and those who have passed on, your legacy lives within me… Thank you!”
“Throughout my career, I have helped numerous students obtain their acceptance into their colleges of choice, high school and professional productions. I train current working professionals with their dance technique, choreography, audition skills and performance execution.
I specialize in working with the individual performer. Honing in on what they currently HAVE and giving it that extra finesse, technical control, dance history, style and professional execution.”
~ Julianne

“I’ve always known what my calling was, Musical Theatre! Dance, sing, act, choreography, teach and create. Storytelling. I love to pass on what I’ve learned and studied from watching the classics, the legends!
I LOVE passing on what I’ve learned from the numerous mentors, instructors, masters and peers that I have had the opportunity to train with since my early elementary, middle and high school years, to my early professional career to literally last week! You never stop learning!. To explore new styles genres and incorporating them into “my style”, and passing it on to others.
