Julia Doherty
Julia started dancing at the age of 3 and has trained in a variety of styles, including ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, contemporary, hip hop, and acrobatics. She began her dance training at McHenry Dance Center, now known as Dain Dance Academy, where she developed her passion for dance and movement.
Julia recently graduated from Point Park University with a BFA in Dance. During her time at Point Park, she had the opportunity to train with and learn from world-renowned choreographers. While continuing to pursue and train professionally in dance, Julia discovered barre as a wonderful way to supplement her dance training. She loves how barre combines strength, balance, flexibility, and mindful movement while creating a supportive and energizing environment.
Julia is so excited to be joining the Barre Balanced team and looks forward to moving, strengthening, and connecting with everyone in class!
