Juli began dancing at Carlsbad Dance Centre at the age of three and for the next 14 years studied jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, lyrical, hip hop, and clogging. In high school, she was a four-year member, choreographer and leader of Carlsbad High School’s, nationally ranked varsity dance team, the Lancer Dancers.
In the Fall of 2006, Juli was accepted as a dance major at UC Irvine’s acclaimed Claire Trevor School of the Arts. That same year, Juli became one of two winners in Kaba Modern’s annual Dance-A-Thon competition, and was able to take the stage with the team at Friendship Games 2006 at CSU Fullerton. Juli first became a member of KM in 2007, and has since choreographed for the team at various occasions, as well as different high school dance teams throughout San Diego and Washington. She continually tries to grow and constantly strives to become a stronger dancer and choreographer.
