"I absolutely love Julie's Conscious Dance.  Peace, joy, contentment and wholeness is what I feel at the end of a conscious dance.  Julie allows participants the solitude they need to explore their inner dance journey, and at the same time she is able to connect participants together as a group...Julie, thank you for your heart felt commitment to Conscious Dance!" -Big Island, Hawaii, 2010

"I write to tell you what I didn't know; how much you mean to me, how big a role you have played in my life.  How seriously I took it...I love you for staying with it all this time and you have my no-shit gratitude."
-Waimea Conscious Dancer, Big Island, Hawaii, 2010

"Through one-on-one sessions with Julie, I began to feel a sense of groundedness and fluidity in life, she helped me to bring more awareness and my breath into my movements, and gave me a mirror of life so to speak through a meditative dialogue with my inner being, both as the dancer and the dance simultaneously."
-Private Movement Session Participant, Big Island, Hawaii, 2010

"Thank you again.  I felt an incredible connection to and pleasure with being in my body when I danced.  I have little memory of feeling quite like that in this lifetime.  It is wonderful and deepens my desire to keep that connection."
-Pine River, Minnesota Ecstatic Dance Class, July-August, 2008

"Wow...thank you so much for a great two hours of music, movement, and joy!  It's such a treat for me to be able to just open up all the channels and move to music; grateful.  I haven't danced that freely...possibly ever.  Thank you for creating the space in order for me to be able to release."
-Phoenix Ecstatic Dance Class, April, 2008

"Wanted to express my appreciation for your wonderful gift of dance to me.  The workshop took me deeper, and the unconditional love from my peers will begin to allow the process of self acceptance."
-Revolution, Ecstatic Dance Workshop, Arizona, 2008

"I just love what it (ecstatic dance) does. And you're great in showing us the PRESENCE to do it...I'm going to twirl everywhere I go now, who cares!"
-Yavapai College Student, 2008 

(Julie has) "...the ability to tap into the energy of the dance group, managing to teach without us feeling we are being taught, taking control without controlling.  The simplicity of it all is amazing, (Julie is) a powerful force, using only (her) gentle smile, beautiful body movements and soft soothing voice to guide others to their own discovery."
