Julie grew up in Houston Texas and was a member of her high school drill/dance team. She also sang in her high school & college choirs and performed in the opera Die Fledermaus. She & her husband Kevin have two adult daughters who are TP alumni. We’re so thankful to have found TP in 2011! Julie enjoys greeting & connecting with dancers & their parents and answering their questions about all things Turning Pointe.
I consider myself a Colorado native as I have lived in Colorado Springs for over 30 years now. I was born in Bolivia, South America so I am fluent in Spanish and moved here when I was 8 years old. I come from a family of dancers and singers so performing has always been in my blood! I took different styles of dance growing up and was always in choir from elementary school through high school as well as being on the worship team at church for a season. I did theater growing up in plays and the drama club in high school and was also part of my high school cheer/dance team. I’ve had the opportunity in the past at my church to be a part of the big Easter production “The Thorn” both as an actor and dancer as one of the dancing angels. I graduated from Colorado Christian University in 2007 with a Liberal Arts degree with a focus in elementary education.
It truly is a JOY to be a part of the Turning Pointe community and to now get to watch my own girls dance and perform here. It is a home away from home where I am so thankful I can be a part of the hospitality/front desk team, to be a part of the mission and calling we have here of sharing the love of Jesus wherever we go!”
