ABOUT JULIA

Julia became interested in dance in late 2012 when she tried a ZUMBA fitness class for the first time. It was an eye-opening experience for her and she became quickly captivated by the idea of exploring and learning different dance styles to a variety of music, including hip-hop, reggaeton, samba, dancehall, jazz, afro, salsa, bachata and kizomba, amongst other styles. At the same time, Julia continued to explore the world of ZUMBA fitness, learning under various instructors, eventually becoming an instructor herself in 2015.

Julia hopes to share her knowledge and experience of dance & movement with others to inspire them to embark on a similar journey of dance exploration.

When she is not attending dance classes, workshops, courses, or on a dance-floor, Julia is creating her own choreography to a variety of music, representing a unique style and fusion of her dance experiences.

She is passionate about the artistic, technical and fitness components of dance and aims to bring out all these elements in her classes.

Her future plans include completing further education in ZUMBA fitness programs, dance & dance therapy, and human movement / fitness, so she can continue to grow Inspired to Move as a business and life-philosophy.
