Get to know Julia

When did you start dancing, and why?

I started dancing when I was three.

What inspires you to be a professional dancer?

I was inspired by the professional ballerinas I grew up watching in New York City, and the feeling I would get when I was performing on stage. As a professional, I am inspired by all the things I have yet to learn. As dancers, we are always looking to improve our skillset, and this motivates me to work hard and strive to reach my fullest potential.

Why did you choose Ballet San Antonio?

I initially chose Ballet San Antonio because of their repertoire, but I continue to choose BSA because of the amazing leaders we have here. They all want us to be the best we can be and with that we work together to create the best product for our audience. I feel valued, inspired, and supported in this organization and it truly feels like a family. I chose to teach at School of Ballet San Antonio because I believe in our mission to bring the highest quality of training to aspiring young dancers of San Antonio. I enjoy working with every student here and love getting to share the stage with them in our company productions.
