Julie is a Black ballerina that expresses herself best when she is standing in front of a mirror dancing. Her story starts like that of many young little Black girls dancing as a child. She talks about the first time she goes to the theater to see Misty Copeland dance on stage and how it affected not only how much she loved dancing but how she was able to see the potential of herself on stage. Through her story we learn that she had a close connection to her mother but that the relationship between her mother and father that started out so beautiful and amazing suddenly shifted. Her parents were good parents making sure to keep their personal lives to themselves by not allowing her to know that anything was wrong. But on a specific day everything that Julie knew was turned upside down when she finds herself in a situation with her father that she never expected. After which her mother decided that the best way for her to move forward was for her to do it alone leaving Julie home with her father. Everything that Julie knew was ripped from under her when her father decided as punishment that she didn't need to dance anymore.

Julie then makes a fight or flight decision, at the age of 16 does she stay or does she go? By deciding to leave her father's house she realizes what it really means to live in your truth and follow your dreams. It is a story that tells us that sometimes when life falls apart it is the putting back together that truly creates the most beautiful moments of our lives. Moments that allow us to stand in front of any mirror and dance with our souls. *Performer needs to be Black and will dance ballet throughout the performance.
