Julia Wharingtonadmin

While Julia has been dancing some form of partner dancing since she was a young teenager, she found her passion for all things swing in 2008, and has never looked back since. She is a true alJuliaWharingtonl-rounder, happily dancing Balboa, Lindy Hop, Shag, or Blues, depending on song, mood and partner. Balboa will always have a special spot in her heart, because she met her husband John on a Balboa dance floor (naaaaawwwww). Together they are four-times Australian Balboa Champions, and they haven’t been doing all that shabby at the major competition in the US either – Julia’s biggest international success has been winning the CalBal Open Jack & Jill in 2016.

Julia has been teaching Swing dancing since 2011, both in her hometown Melbourne, as well as at various events around Australia. It gives her immense joy to provide the students with a fun learning experience, with her favourite times being those little success moments, when she sees big smiles around the room because the students get the hang of something that is being taught. John and Julia are very much looking forward to sharing their love for Balboa with you at ABW!
