I learned contact improvisation dance from Juliet in about 2003 or 2004. She was a great teacher, really supportive, welcoming, and fun to be with. Her classes really expanded my field of awareness in all 5 senses. ..she’s great at helping people get comfortable with moving in their bodies. Cara Conroy
Her approach is aimed at supporting and enhancing the learning process, developing individual and group creativity, and providing a safe but challenging space for the growth of these techniques on an individual and group basis. John Andrews
Juliet is a creative and supportive director and teacher. She understands the creative process and synergizes the energies of the individuals involved to get results.

Her teaching style is inspiring and her depth of knowledge is extraordinary. Damian Manu
It was a fabulous class this afternoon. Well-paced and meaningful instructions that taught me something about my relationship to the earth, the sense of movement, and playing well with others. Thank you. Claire Szabo founder Hot Yoga New Zealand
