Julia Consentino

A dance artist, educator, collaborator, choreographer and performer, received her BFA Honours Degree in Dance from York University in 2012. Since graduating, Julia has had the pleasure of working with many artists and companies across Canada. Julia's vision is to marry all of the things she loves most about dance: music, rhythm, physical prowess, artistry, expression, healing and human connection. This is at the heart of her practice, and she is grateful to be deepening her work and voice through research, conversation, play and discovery.

Julia has been teaching dance for many years, with many students, and across many borders. Julia deeply believes that her experiences in teaching have been equally educational for her. Each class and each student comes to her with a lesson to be learned. Additionally, having collaborated with an array of artists throughout her career, it has given her the opportunity to study leadership and the creative process from different angles. 

As an educator, it is Julia’s ultimate goal that students can leave with a deeper understanding of dance, a deeper connection to their personal voice, and a set of useful tools that they can continue to cultivate and utilize in their training and performance for years to come. She hopes to inspire them to experience music, passion, freedom, joy, vulnerability, individuality, community and success through dance.

It is a pleasure to be working with the DancED community, bringing dance education to schools and students who may otherwise not have the opportunity to experience the magic of dance.
