My name is Julia Cinquemani. I am a former professional ballerina with Miami City Ballet and Los Angeles Ballet. Altogether, I have danced professionally for over a decade. Ballet has been first and foremost in my life, but I have always had entrepreneurial interests and a love for fashion. I started designing, sewing and selling wrap skirts at my hometown dancewear store in Dallas, TX at age 14. Years later I decided to invest in more ideas I had for creating better fitting dancewear.

​

I established Jule Dancewear in 2011 with a goal as a young professional dancer and female entrepreneur to reshape the dancewear mold. My mission is to design dancewear that offers support, is high quality, and incorporates the latest in fashion with a commitment to made in the USA.

​

When I created Jule Dancewear, I was in my teenage years and my body was going through a lot of changes. I found the need to create a leotard that offered coverage and bust support for dancers.

​

I hated that my ill-fitting leotards were making me self conscious in a profession where confidence is key. I wondered, are there any leotards on the market that cater to this need, and that are understood and designed by a dancer? That is when I decided to incorporate the support of a sports bra into a leotard.  I now design all types of dancewear I see a need for in the industry. Every detail of each design is carefully tailored to function and flatter the body. I test and choose the highest quality fabrics and incorporate the latest in fashion. All products are made in the USA where quality is high and our standards are met. I believe in the importance of doing our part to sustain our local community of garment manufacturers in my hometown of Dallas, TX.

​

It brings me so much joy to see my designs come to life on dancers all over the world. In this industry self-love and confidence is everything. If I can help someone feel good about themselves with something as simple as what they are wearing, then I feel like I have done my job. Every dancer should have the confidence they deserve!
