Dr. Julian Pittman

Julian strives to make the audience believe the impossible is truly possible. His creativity keeps the show fresh and ensures that performances are cutting edge. His desire to perform began at a very early age. When working for Colonial Williamsburg, he gained his first exposure to entertaining live audiences through dance, music, and juggling. Continuing with his passion for juggling, Julian began competing and was a four-time finalist and International Silver Medalist Juggler. He has performed for a wide range of different clients including dinner theaters, school and library shows, civic and fraternal organizations, restaurants, resorts, fairs, and festivals. It takes dedication and determination, along with a great passion for performing to “juggle” a career in the arts, while working hard to earn college degrees. Yet, that is exactly what Julian set his sights on accomplishing. He earned a B.S. from William and Mary, an M.S. in Veterinary Medicine from VA/MD – College of Veterinary Medicine, and a Doctorate from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine.

Also, she was honored to have performed in Miami, New Orleans, and Houston with the Swerve Modern Dance Company. Along with her professional performances, Melody was drawn to a career of teaching and coaching dance in the public education arena. She holds an A.S. in Dance Technology; an A.A. in Dance Performance; a B.A. in Communication Arts, Anthropology, and Musical Theater Dance; an M.E.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership.
