Style of Dance: Jazz, Contemporary/Lyrical, Hip Hop I joined Amatory as a Freshman when Amatory was just beginning. It's amazing to see how much Amatory has grown since then. I love it so much. I guess my dancing career started when I was little and my parents placed me in Chinese Folk Dance. I was part of the dance team in High School but really only performed Jazz and Lyrical. I thought Hip Hop looked so cool, and was determined to join a Hip Hop crew in college. And that's where Amatory comes in :) I'm a pretty random person. My hobbies have a very wide range. I love doing any type of arts and crafts possible! Michaels sucks up all of my money =\ But one of my favorite things in the world is anime! and of course dancing . I'm aspiring to be a doctor, but I hate studying and sooo would rather play games T-T I have a major sweet tooth and can eat frozen yogurt 24/7. I'm not so great at freestyle, but I LOVE learning new choreography. :) PS: I love Amatory!! |

Style of dance: Contemporary/hip-hop This is my third year on Amatory. I'm a third year psychology major. I have been dancing since before I can remember and have tried pretty much everything from jazz, tap, modern, hip-hop, even bollywood. I'm a dancin fool whether it's in rehearsal, on the stage, or on the dance floor! Besides dance I love hiking, baking, birthdays, belting tunes in the car, kicking it at the beach, watching tv shows(The Office, Vampire Diaries, Glee, Jersey Shore whaddup!), traveling, laughing and basically anything that involves an adventure because life is short, you gotta live a little! I heart Amatory and I am so excited for the rest of this year -watch out for us! |

D.O.B: July 17, 1991 Age: 19 School: UCSB Major: Environmental Studies Current Position: Treasurer
Styles: Contemporary/lyrical, tap, jazz, hip-hop Hello friends! My name is Julianna, but please feel free to call me Julz or Nanna. And no I am not a grandma despite my love for crocheting and an early bedtime. Anywho, I’m a second year at UCSB and have been with Amatory since the spring of 2010. Deciding to try out was one of the best decisions I have ever made because Amatory is my family away from home!! I have been dancing since I was a wee babe and took ballet for 7 years, jazz and tap for 5, and dabbled in contemporary/lyrical, hip-hop and world dance for 4 years. Dance has always been my passion although I never imagined myself on a hip-hop crew. I am a very friendly and outgoing person and I love performing, singing, playing la guitara, and hanging tough with the homies! You can usually find me watching the sunset on the beach, taking a run out to campus point, longboarding through the streets of IV, or in the kitchen whipping up masterpieces. But most of all you can find me on the dance floor. |

I’ve been in Amatory since Spring of 2010! I’m a second year at UCSB, but unfortunately won’t be here much longer because I’m transferring to study business elsewhere next year. I started dancing in tap when I was 7 and have since then trained in contemporary, jazz, modern, and ballet, with a little bit of everything else at Marin School of the Arts. Hip hop is not my forte, so I thought it might not really be my place to audition for a hip hop dance crew. I’m glad I sucked it up and just went for it because I have loved every second of being in Amatory! I love my Amatory family and regret leaving everyone next year. I know I won’t find a dance crew that can compare wherever I end up so I’m making the best of these last two quarters! |

D.O.B: February 15, 1991 Age: 20 Major: Sociology/Black Studies minor in Spanish? *subject to change Dance Style: Hip Hop
It's kinda ironic that when I was younger I was always scared to dance infront of people. In kindergarten we had to do this dance performance to the electric slide and I was completely off beat and scared to move. I don't think my family expected dance to be one of my hobbies. But, surprisingly I stuck with it. Hmm...I have very little formal training in hip hop and jazz because I spent most of my time being a cheerleader, since I was 8 years old 'til my senior year of high school: shout out to the front/backspots or leftovers! Haha. To be honest, I wish I knew how to tap, but by the end of the school year, I hope I can land a double turn. =D |

D.O.B: Oct 25, 1991 Age: 19 School: UCSB I'm a second year at SB and I absolutely love it here. Besides the beach, weather, and friends that come with going to UCSB, Amatory has been a great addition. As lame as it sounds, dancing makes everything better, so I'm so happy to be doing it. Plus this team is filled with some crazy (good) people, who are always so much fun to be around. I'm happy to be dancing, but even more, happy to be dancing with Amatory!
