Julia Bubalo began her dance training at the age of seven in Westerville, Ohio.  By the age of ten, she was dancing as a scholarship student through the Ford Foundation, a national program to assist gifted young dancers.  This gave her an opportunity to train and dance with Ballet Met, a professional company in Columbus, Ohio. In addition, she studied with the Dayton Ballet, in Dayton, Ohio and at the School of American Ballet in New York.

In 1987, she moved to Las Vegas where she trained with the Nevada Ballet Theatre and traveled with them to Moscow, Russia.  After moving to Memphis, TN, she performed with the Mid-South Dance Theatre.

In 1991, she moved to Springfield, MO and began teaching ballet for Springfield Ballet while she completed a degree in Business Administration from Drury University. In 1994, she founded the Ozark Dance Academy where she continues to teach, choreograph and direct. Ms. Bubalo has also been an adjunct staff instructor in the Theatre and Dance Department at Missouri State University since 2003.
