Julia Kane

Julia Kane (she/her) is a dancer, teacher, and choreographer in NYC, currently on Jazz Faculty at BDC. With a vast knowledge and training in technical Jazz, Ballet, and Modern, her work emphasizes stylized reach and release on top of a strong technical foundation. 

Julia established the Julia Kane Dance Collective in 2017, while she was undergoing chemotherapy for Lymphoma, which premiered at Jazz at Lincoln Center (APAP’s Booking Dance Festival). In 2019, she choreographed and presented Cultivated Chaos, her first full length concert performance with the company. Chaos sold out twice, and raised over $1k for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. 

Along with her own choreographic work, Julia has worked as Associate Choreographer to Zanza Steinberg for ALMA NYC's debut of YELLOW, and had the pleasure of working with the company again for FECUND: A Virtual Gala. She has had the honor of assisting and working with many of BDC’s renowned faculty and mentors throughout her training, including Michelle Barber, Sheila Barker, Ginger Cox, and Jamie Salmon. 

Julia holds a BFA in dance, is a graduate of the BDC Professional Semester, and of Long Island HS for the Arts (under direction of Janice Aguilera and Shirlene Blake). As an educator, she has experience working with children as young as preschool age, as well as students of all ages with various physical and developmental disabilities. She has taught and choreographed for many studios in the surrounding NYC area, and for BDC's Children and Teens Program.
