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 choreographic showcase program, creating a new work each year since 2012.
In 2015, Feldman co-founded Capital Dance Project (CDP), a collective of professional dancers based in Sacramento dedicated to creating world premiere works in collaboration with local visual artists and musicians. Feldman has created ten works for CDP to date, and has played an integral role in shaping the organization’s mission, management, and collaborative vision behind its annual Behind the Barre and Digital Series productions.
In 2019, she was selected for the National Choreographer’s Initiative in Irvine, California, 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-Waring.
She has since premiered three full works for the Sacramento Ballet: Hearts (April 2022), Pockets of Light (March 2025), and All I See Sometimes (October 2025). Feldman is thrilled to be creating a new work for Smuin Contemporary Ballet’s Spring Point, under the direction of Amy Seiwert.
Smuin fosters the next generation of dance-makers with four world premieres from early-career artists.
