Choreography By Julie

My name is Julie Bartoo and I am an Erie-based choreographer with over 12 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.

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 with the Indiana University of Pennsylvania 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. Recently, after receiving inquiries to create wedding dances, I furthered my repertoire and have taken classes 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!

As for you- no dance experience is required! You can book as many follow-up rehearsals as you like, to practice and perfect your moves.

Choreography by Julie offers original choreography for the First Dance, Father & Daughter Dance, Mother & Son Dance, Wedding Party Dance, Bridesmaid Dance, Groomsmen Dance, or anything you can think of!

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