Burlesque/Nightlife

Julie is the one of lucky few who were part of the first wave of burlesque. When Julie first performed the form in 1997, “You could fit all the burlesque performers in NYC in 2 cabs,” said the World Famous *BOB*.

Julie has circumnavigated the globe repeatedly since 2005, when she was awarded the title Miss Exotic World and gained worldwide recognition. The following year, she was crowned Miss Coney Island, which solidified her hometown charm. Wherever she is, Julie has a profound and evident love for her audience, be they in a grimy gay bar, European opera house, or fancy-pants art museum. The power of dance is real.

Since then, Burlesque, Circus & Variety has been Julie’s bread and butter as she runs from club to club rocking  up to 3 different shows a night.
