Juls walked into the Allstars Academy over 20 years ago to learn to Line dance with us. A relationship was instantly formed with her and the team; our friendship is as strong today as it has always been. An accomplished business lady, herself it was not long before her administrative skills were offered to us and 20 years later she is the glue that holds us all together. We tried to summarise what Juls does for us, and we even had to ask for some AI help to condense it down; a highly valued member of the team, and also a highly accomplished dancer who is seen every week either at Ballroom or Line Dancing classes.

Scheduling & Class Coordination
Student & Parent Communication
