Guest Instructress & Choreographer: Julia Harnett

At the young age of 3, Julia's love for dance began in ballet shoes. Throughout Julia’s childhood, her dance career expanded into musical theatre, jazz, modern, highland, and hip hop. To further supplement all these dance forms; Julia attended a number of intensive training sessions all over the world, from Jackson, Mississippi to Osaka, Japan and finally Toronto, Ontario. In 2003, Julia was chosen to dance on contract by both Disney and Carnival Cruise Lines.

Julia’s extensive dance background proved to be well suited for Martin and Diana’s Dancesport team. Since stumbling upon ballroom dancing in 2006, Julia has not only become an avid competitor in Latin dancing,
her life seemed to have taken on many directions being newly married and also a new mother! Today, Julia continues to train extensively across North America: New York, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

One of Julia's most recent accomplishments is making it to the Top 18 Finalists of So You Think You Can Dance Canada (Season 3). Diva Di and Burlesquercise are proud to have Miss Julia join the illustrious and
sexy team as an instructress! Join Julia in her Burlesque Bootcamp Technique Classes and also expect to see her her work as a guest choreographer and performer.
