Julianne is a devoted social dancer, teacher, performer, and passionate rambler.

Based in the United States, Julianne has a varied background in movement and music, including hip-hop, Latin dance, contemporary dance, competitive athletics, and music education. That range of experience continues to influence how she approaches tango, with an emphasis on clear technique, adaptability, and giving dancers practical tools they can use with different partners and in different social settings.

Julianne discovered Argentine Tango in 2021 and was quickly drawn to its improvisational and conversational nature. Since then, she has continued to study with local and international teachers while becoming increasingly involved in teaching, performing, and community building.

She founded JMTango as a home for her independent teaching and creative work. Through classes, social events, performances, and collaborations, she works to make tango approachable and engaging while contributing to the tango community in Denver and wherever her travels take her.

As a teacher, Julianne draws from her background in music, athletics, and dance pedagogy to balance technical detail with experimentation and play. Her classes focus on helping dancers understand how and why movement works so they can make their own choices rather than replication.

At the heart of her approach is the concept that tango is a conversation. The more clearly we communicate and the better we listen, the more freedom we have to play.
