🦢Taking Flight: From Late Starter to Swan Lake 🦢

Join us for this very special episode as Julie shares her incredible experience performing in Swan Lake with the corps de ballet of the Grand Ukrainian Ballet in Germany.

As many of you know, Julie discovered ballet at 17, eventually making it her career. Imagine Julie’s surprise when her current teacher Katia invited her to perform Swan Lake in Germany a few weeks ago! Though initially filled with doubt, Julie took the leap.

Listen as she candidly shares her journey of overcoming personal and logistical challenges - from flight anxiety and self-doubt, language barriers, and a surprise just minutes before going on stage: the fog machine, never used in rehearsals, obscured crucial position markers.

Along the way, she offers heartfelt insights and practical advice for anyone seeking the courage to pursue their dreams.

Julie's infectious enthusiasm shines through as she allows us to relive this magical experience with her. While she's known for her love of all things sparkly, it's Julie herself who brings the brightest sparkle to this inspirational story. 💫
