ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: MAY 2025

She is the creator of The JSMethod, an extensive dance training program that draws on kaleidoscopic roots and diverse technical platforms, including Brazilian, African, and Contemporary movement. The JSMethod fuses multiple perspectives of dance to awaken a dancer’s unique energetic expression. Demanding grounded and voluminous movement, this approach challenges dancers to move beyond the confines of any traditional technique or thought pattern. It expands dance vocabulary while encouraging full embodiment of the individual, allowing one's true essence to emerge in the joyous celebration of dance.

The JSMethod takes dancers beyond movement, both physically and mentally.

Julie’s mission is to guide others—and herself—toward more profound self-discovery and unapologetic celebration. She believes we can develop, create, and REVEL in our MAJESTY.
