About Julie

Owner/ Founder/ Choreographer of Choreography by Julie

 

Hi! My name is Julie Bartoo and I am an Erie-based choreographer with over 25 years of dancing experience, and 15 years of experience creating choreography. I am passionate about using dance to help you feel confident and beautiful on your big day!

I would love to create a one-of-a-kind dance for you and your loved one, tailored to your liking and skill level.

 

A little bit about me. I grew up dancing at Lake Erie Ballet and went on to perform ballet, hip-hop, jazz, and modern dance with Erie Dance Conservatory. Aside from numerous dance intensives, workshops, and summer dance camps, I have performed at Indiana University of Pennsylvania with the IUP Dance Theatre, Drill Team, and MIRO Dance Theatre. I have also performed with the Erie Playhouse and have spent many summers choreographing for Footlights Theatre & Performing Arts Center. Additionally, I have background in Foxy, Waltz and Nightclub Two Step. Currently, I work with General McLane Theatre Department as a choreographer for musicals, and I have been creating wedding choreography for clients since November 2022.

 

Seeing my couples love story come to life as they learn their First Dance is such an honor. I pride myself on creating custom choreography for EVERY skill level, adapting dance moves to all comfort levels, and encouraging collaboration of ideas with my clients. First Dances are an opportunity to share your love in motion and create a memory to last a lifetime. First Dance (and all Wedding Dance!) rehearsals double as a date night, wonderful quality time, and a welcomed stress reliever during the sometimes-stressful wedding planning season. Connect with your loved one and elevate your wedding to be even more magical with a choreographed dance!

THANK YOU for your interest. This is my passion and I am sincerely honored to have the opportunity to create choreography for you.
