About Me

Hi there! 

I’m Julia, an ODCRN-certified Irish dance instructor with Cumann Rince Náisiúnta. I’ve been dancing with CRN since I was seven years old. I grew up performing all over my home state, and I started competing in 2017. I have since taken the stage at CRN Regionals, Nationals, Worlds, and various other championships. I've earned numerous titles along the way, including North American West Regional Champion, North American Open Champion, and placing as high as 2nd in my solo championship at the World Championships. 

While I love performing and competing, my true passion lies in helping dancers grow into both talented athletes and mindful artists. I believe that success in Irish dance comes from a combination of hard work, dedication, and a strong, positive mindset. Through this blog, I aim to share my experiences, advice, and tips to support dancers of all levels in reaching their goals and thriving in every aspect of their Irish dance journey.
