Julianna Zawadski

Julianna Zawadzki is a dancer from a small town just outside of Houston, Texas. She began her performing journey at the American Academy of Dance under Angela Jackson and Kerri Godkins, where she danced in full-length works such as Sleeping Beauty, Paquita, Coppélia, Firebird, The Nutcracker, and more.
She went on to perform with Kingwood Dance Theatre for three years, studying and performing under Kelly Agnew, Kerry Hawk, and Trish King. During this time, she appeared in productions including Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and annual performances of The Nutcracker.

Julianna was a founding member of NobleMotion Dance’s second company (NMD2), performing with the ensemble for four seasons under the direction of Andy and Dionne Noble and Colette Kerwick.
Julianna went on to study dance at the University of Arizona, where she performed in an excerpt of George Balanchine’s Serenade, the Gamzatti variation from La Bayadère, and a pas de deux titled Light Rain, choreographed by Gerald Arpino. While at UA, she performed and collaborated with faculty and guest artists including Christopher Compton, Lorin Mathis, and Elizabeth George.

Julianna is currently in her second season with Ballet North Texas, where she continues to expand her artistry through both classical and contemporary repertoire. During her first season with the company, she had the opportunity to learn and perform a wide range of works, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Frequency 434, Sleepy Hollow, Cinderella and a Maria Tallchief-inspired performance.

Julianna is excited to continue growing as an artist during her second season with Ballet North Texas and looks forward to learning new repertoire, including Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. She is eager to continue challenging herself, expanding her artistic range, and exploring the many opportunities this season has to offer.
