Julie had appeared in several movies, T.V. specials and commercials and has had the pleasure of working with Elvis Presley, Bob Hope, Juliet Prowse, Sonja Henie and Elizabeth Taylor.
Julie has been teaching Adult/Teen ballet in San Diego for twelve years and has recently added ballroom dance to her agenda. Continued studies include annual Teachers’ Workshops at City Ballet with David Howard and with Finis Jhung in Los Angeles.
