Julia Carpeneto began her dance journey at Performing Dance Arts in 2008 and graduated from the studio in 2022. Throughout her 14 years at PDA, she trained in jazz, tap, contemporary, hip hop, acro, ballet, and musical theatre. PDA has always felt like family, giving her some of her best friends and lifelong mentors.
Julia began teaching because she wanted to give upcoming dancers the same encouragement, guidance, and sense of belonging that she experienced throughout her own time at PDA. She hopes to create a positive environment where her students can grow not only as dancers, but also in confidence and as individuals.
Julia graduated from York University with a degree in Kinesiology and Health Science and is currently specializing in holistic nutrition. Outside of dance, she enjoys Pilates, creating recipes, and going for walks.
She is so grateful to be back where her dance journey began and looks forward to creating new memories with the next generation of PDA dancers!
