MY Balloon Acts

A first for Burlesque Artists, Julie has copyrighted and franchised her award winning Balloon Act.

First performing in a balloon at a fetish party, Julie opened her 2004 show “I am the Moon and You are the Man on Me” inside a 72” transparent white balloon to Debussy’s Claire de Lune.  9 months later, when competing for the Miss Exotic World Title, Julie first successfully created and performed what is now a signature number to Liberace’s Moon River.  Elegant, funny, and visually arresting - Julie has since popped thousands of balloons all over the world.  

In 2007, she joined the cast of SpiegelWorld when it was on at the South Street Sea Port and toured with them to Miami and Australia, as well. When the show moved to Las Vegas, it was the beginning of the franchise and Julie has since worked with over 6 wonderful performers developing and creating balloon acts for them. Julie’s Balloon Act remains at the core of SpeigelWorld shows.

Around 2017, Julie began experimenting with Black Balloons and created a dark version for outstanding contortionist Jordan McKnight. In 2018, Julie performed her Dark Side of The Balloon number for the first time, which has since become a mainstay of the Bartschland Follies.
