Julia Feldman received her training under Pamela Hayes of Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet and began her professional career with Sacramento Ballet in 2011, where she is currently a Company Artist. She discovered her passion for choreography through the company’s annual choreographic showcase, creating a new work annually since 2012. In 2019, Feldman was selected for the National Choreographers Initiative in Irvine, California, under the direction of Molly Lynch.

In 2021, she was one of three choreographers commissioned to co-create a new Nutcracker for 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 Sacramento Ballet, Hearts, premiered in April 2022. Her second commission, Pockets of Light, debuted in March 2025 and was followed by the premiere of All I See Sometimes in October 2025.

In 2026, Feldman will premiere new works for Smuin Contemporary Ballet, the Grainger Academy of the Joffrey Ballet’s Winning Works, and Milwaukee Ballet’s Genesis. Feldman is also a founding member of Capital Dance Project, a collective of professional dancers based in Sacramento. The summer-based company focuses on creating world premiere works in collaboration with local visual artists and musicians. Feldman has created eleven works for Capital Dance Project to date and has played an integral role in shaping the organization’s mission, management, and creative vision, including its annual Behind the Barre and Digital Series productions. Julia is honored to return to choreograph for the National Choreographers Initiative ’26 — The Last Dance!
