ACADEMY OF BALLET

Julie M. Drennan

Mrs. Drennan started her ballet lessons as a child living in Africa while her father was a foreign correspondent in the early 1970's. In 1975, when her family moved back home to the United States, she began taking ballet lessons at the Prochotsky School of Ballet in Bethesda, Maryland with Irena Prochotsky. During her time there, she danced in leading roles from Les Sylphides, Coppelia, Peter and the Wolf, The Nutcracker and La Bayadere. She also spent her summers on full scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet in New York and the Pennsylvania Ballet in Philadelphia.

By her junior year in high school, she encountered an issue with her back that forced her to stop dancing for a couple of years. She decided to change her career path from a ballerina to the business world and family.
 

After 20 years, in 2002, she returned to the world of ballet. She started taking classes and teaching at the Ashburn Academy of Ballet in Ashburn, VA and then in the fall of 2004, moved with her family to Fredericksburg. She now lives in Stafford County with her husband and daughter, who attends James Madison University.
