bio
Julia Feldman received her training under Pamela Hayes of Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet and began her professional career with the Sacramento Ballet in 2011, where she is currently a Company Artist. She discovered her passion for choreography through the company’s annual ‘Beer and Ballet’ program, creating a new work each year since 2012. In 2019, she was selected for the National Choreographer’s Initiative in Irvine, CA, under the direction of Molly Lynch. In 2021, Feldman was one of three choreographers commissioned to co-create a new Nutcracker for the Sacramento Ballet, led by Artistic Director Anthony Krutzkamp. The following year, she was selected for the New York Choreographic Institute’s Spring Session, directed by Adrian Danchig. Her first full-work commission for the Sacramento Ballet, ‘Hearts’, premiered in April 2022. Her second commission, ‘Pockets of Light’, debuted in March 2025 and will be followed by a third work premiering in Fall 2025. In February 2026, Feldman will premiere a new work with Smuin Contemporary Ballet, led by Artistic Director Amy Seiwert. In 2015, Feldman co-founded Capital Dance Project (CDP), a collective of professional dancers based in Sacramento. The company focuses on creating world premiere works in collaboration with local visual artists and musicians. Feldman has created nine works for CDP to date and plays an integral role in shaping the organization’s mission, management, and creative vision behind its annual ‘Behind the Barre’ and ‘Digital Series’ productions.
