Aerialist: Julia

Whether dancing on the sides of buildings or performing on stage, Julia's expansive artistic career has covered a wide range of styles, companies, and locations. A variety of contemporary dance companies have showcased her talents, including Sharir + Bustamante Danceworks, Ariel Dance Theater, Ballet East Dance Theater, Komo Danceworks, Release Motion Dance Project, and the site-specific aerial dance company, Blue Lapis Light.

As a freelance aerialist, Julia performed across Texas and was discovered by World Entertainment Services in 2009. She served as their aerialist on lyra, harness, and bungee for the show “Viva!” at SeaWorld San Antonio. Soon after, she was promoted to the principal aerialist role in the original cast of “Azul,” the new acrobatic/whale and dolphin show at SeaWorld San Antonio. Julia currently performs her innovative aerial act on silks attached to a lyra above a pool of synchronized swimmers, divers, and marine mammals.
