Spotlight on...Julia White!

Dancer: Julia White
Birthday: June 11
Team: Mini Prep
Studio: Brigham


Julia White dances on the Mini Prep team at Brigham City, and her favorite food is spaghetti! When I asked her mom to tell me a little bit about Julia, she said that when Julia is not dancing, she is singing. In fact, she is ALWAYS singing. She makes up songs about every thing, every day. And she even sings when she dances. Her mom said she is actually pretty good for a six-year-old.

She was three years old when she decided she wanted to be a rock star when she grew up. She likes to play on the piano at home, although she has not had lessons. "She actually makes up some things that sound ok," her mom said. "Go figure!"

Because Julia is only six, we know she has a lot of dance experiences ahead of her, but if she had to pick one from those she has experienced so far, it would probably be Dance Fever this year. She was excited to stay in a hotel, and in one of her classes she was picked with a friend to go up on stage and do the routine. She thought it was great.

Julia really looks up to her big sister Jordin! Her mom said, "I don't know if you could call Jordin her hero, but Julia thinks Jordin is the greatest dancer on earth!"

Two years ago, Julia wouldn't even go to dance class because she was so shy. Now Julia makes tons of friends, and loves to go to the studio! Her birthday is on June 11, and in an interesting note, her family has called her Julia Gulia since she was born. (Anyone who has watched The Wedding Singer is familiar with that name!)

"We figured someone, sometime would call her that, so we thought she should get used to it. I don't know if she likes it or not, but she just smiles when we call her that. I work at her school, so some of the teachers that I work with even call her that!"

Julia's favorite pet is her dog, Daisie, a miniature schnauzer. She has had a broken foot for the last six weeks and just got her cast off a few weeks ago. Julia sleeps with Daisie, dresses her, reads to her, dances with her, sings to her, and anything else there is to do with a dog! (And maybe a few things that shouldn't be done with a dog. Gotta love kids!)

So that's a little bit about Julia Gulia White.
