More Testimonials

“…My time with Julene was so full of creative exploration and her physical skills match her creative talents seamlessly. A patient and open teacher, she guided us to an understanding of our purpose, character development, and pushed our growth into further levels of self expression. I respect Julene because she didn’t just provide theory in her teaching. Her natural abilities of movement and expression gave us much content to pull from as we grew as artists. She is always kind, only supportive, and the many months we had together was a special time. I would always jump at a chance to work with Julene again for she is someone who puts her entire soul into her work and it shows.”

—Dustin Walston
